Extra, Extra, Read All About It!
New psychological thriller FLAT WHITE LIES isn’t just getting great reviews, it’s made it into the news too, with both Bristol 24-7 and BrumHour running features on it. And as the story begins in a coffee shop in Bristol’s swanky Clifton district, local paper Clifton Voice is planning an article too.
It was also great to be interviewed by Vicky Blight on BBC Radio Bristol on Sunday 3rd September (listen on replay about 25 minutes into her show.)
Crime fiction, coffee & career changes!
ICYMI the fabulous FLAT WHITE LIES book launch, a video will be posted on YouTube soon!
BRIGHT LIES Audiobook Out Now!
I am beyond excited that my psychological thriller BRIGHT LIES is out in audiobook! It’s been narrated by the amazing Eilidh Beaton. Eilidh has already worked with other respected psychological thriller writers, including the excellent Keri Beevis. Hear a clip of Eilidh narrating BRIGHT LIES here (just click on the arrow below the cover image). She channels young Emily’s naiveté and David’s creepiness so brilliantly!

Outed…
I had to smile when Howard Lovy outed me as “an accountant who turned to a life of literary crime.” Listen to his podcast for the Alliance of Independent Authors, as we discuss life, books and psychological thriller Bright Lies.
Radio, Radio
As I love the buzzy city of Birmingham, I was thrilled to tell local radio listeners about Marty Bridges and Kat White, the feisty protagonists of the Trail series. Marty is, of course, a hard-nosed Brummie businessman, while glamorous Kat has adopted the city as the home of her premium craft vodka. Listen to Dave Massey’s Brum Radio show at 8 minutes in.

Easy reading with large print!
Did you know 10% of us are dyslexic?

Bright Lies and Lies at Her Door are on sale in a more traditional large print format too. Find out more here.
