Paperback Publication Day!

It feels a little like my birthday today but without gaining a year - TELL TALE is out today in paperback and is straight in the Asda paperback charts at number 18! I think I might have to take a little grocery shopping trip later and see the evidence in real life. You'll also be able to find it in the WH Smith chart section as well as the other usual book retailers. Feels a little odd not to include Borders in the list.

If you buy a copy from
Amazon, you can read an excerpt now (although for some reason it doesn't include the prologue!) and watch a little video of me trying to describe the story without giving all the plot twists away!

Finally, not long to go now until my
double act with the lovely Sophie Hannah, who I had the pleasure of meeting and watching in action a little while ago. Should be a great evening in Birmingham, so if you're around, do come to the event. It's free!

Thanks, Isabelle! Glad you loved it. Have you read BLOOD TIES or UNSPOKEN? If you do, let me know what you think!

Yes I have read „Blood Ties“ and „Unspoken". I loved these books aswell! Your style of writing is very good and thrilling, I was reading almost every free minute! And the endings were always different than I expected… I wonder where you get these ideas from :)!

Thanks, Isabelle! Yep, I like to surprise at the end...and it sometimes worries me where the ideas come from (a deep dark place!). Sometimes I know exactly where I'm going with a book but then something happens and I'll get a new idea completely!

Have a good weekend.
