BOOK NEWS! I'm more than delighted to announce that my wonderful publisher, Severn House have commissioned me to write two more Jess Raker Ribble Valley thrillers over the next year or so, based on the success of the first one, Death at Dead Man's Stake. (not much room on here to write much more)

How it all began v how it ended: delighted by the result! Death on Wolf Fell, Jess Raker 2 - not a bad book either, even if I say so myself.

Probably the best looking book cover you'll see this year, imho! Not that I'm biased, you understand.

Hey up young fella, me dad. Middle East, Sicily, D Day, wounded, then back for Arnhem. Brave beyond words, too modest to boast. We owe so much to people like him. Very proud to say the least. VE day.

Matt's story is coming soon, so make sure you have read this first #Regency #Romance #historicalfiction

Yesterday No Precious Truth was released into the wild. Why not come to the book launch in Leeds? It’s on Thursday, April 17, 6-7pm at Kirkstall Forge, a location that features in the book. Plenty of parking, or it has its own little railway station. And cake. Did I say cake?

This month's cracking offer is the ebook of "Venetian Gothic" at just 99p for UK readers. The Literary Review chose this as one of their crime novels of the year in 2020. So I've got good memories of this one. www.amazon.co.uk/Venetian-Got...

Happy #NewBookDay! 📚🥳 Congratulations to these seven fantastic authors and books #newbooks #publicationday #severnhouse #newreads #booksbooksbooks #cozyreads #historicalfiction #thrillerbooks #crimenovels #fiction severnhouse.com/new-crime-th...

Ahh, a proper school!

Publishers Weekly on No Precious Truth: "As always, the author’s meticulous period detail and tender character development help this rise above similar fare. Here’s hoping Nickson has another long-running series on his hands." Out April, cheapest UK hardbackprice : www.speedyhen.com/Product/Chri...
