Sunday Times bestselling author of the #WashingtonPoe/ #BenKoenig/#JamesBond and the Secret Agent Academy books Winner of CWA Gold/Steel Dagger/ #TOPCNOTY
I couldn’t be more thrilled to have signed a new three-book contract with @LittleBrownUK. More Poe & Tilly, and, excitingly, brand-new series as well. As it’s two books a year for the foreseeable I’d better get off social media and start writing. Details 👉bit.ly/3xxGyAi

- I know I post one of these every year, but for those of you wondering where the inspiration for Tilly Bradshaw came from, may I present my wife, Mrs Joanne Craven . . . 🤓
- Apologies. The obligatory ‘opening box of author copies’ video. I’m such a cliche 🙄
00:00 - Advance copies of FEARLESS have arrived. Details of how to get hold of a copy coming soon . . .

- Anyone want one? Proofs of Dead Ground are in and they look absolutely stunning Over the next few weeks I’ll be running comps to win some of these so stay tuned. Some will no doubt be on Twitter but most will be via my newsletter; to give yourself the best chance, sign up now
- Monday news. More Poe (bringing the series up to 9 full-length novels) More Koenig (bringing the series up to 3) More of something my publisher calls “rip-roaring”. More details when I have them
- That’s it. Written my last line of the year and have now downed tools until 2023. Having a couple of beers to celebrate. For those you who are interested, the last line was: Flynn rolled her eyes and said, “Poe, put the f*****g haddock down.”
- Starting the new Poe & Tilly today, a perennially daunting prospect. Have 193 words down already, so only 99,807 to go . . .
- Woohoo! #TheBotanist is a @thesundaytimes bestseller! Huge thanks to everyone who bought a copy last week. This is the second Poe & Tilly book in a row to make The Sunday Times list, and this is almost entirely down to the brilliant team at #Constable, @LittleBrownUK 🎉🥂
- I have the BEST publisher! Look what they’ve done to an underpass in #Deansgate, Manchester 😮 And as well as a QR code, those bottles have seeds in them (dare you?) The installation is up for a couple of weeks so grab a bottle while you can . . . #pickupapageturner
- Oh my giddy aunt, woke up to this astonishing news (which I was told about on Tuesday but also told to keep my big fat mouth shut) — THE FINAL VOW has burst into the Sunday Times Top Ten at number 4! Thank you to every single reader who bought it! Mike
