Want a feel-good summer read? Can't help you there. But if you want a twisty little number for your hols, pop #TheDeadlySpark in your hand luggage... because summer can never be too hot 🔥 As @claremackwrites.bsky.social said, it's 'perfect holiday reading' (and the #thriller queen is NEVER wrong!).

For 99% of people, the only advice you need on writing your book is "actually write it." Like, there's loads of advice I can give you on it once you've done that. But for the most part "stop fantasizing about it and put words on a damn page" is the correct answer.
