Skaters in the mist. Like a Lowry.

“This must be a simply enormous wardrobe!” thought Lucy, going still further in and pushing the soft folds of the coats aside to make room for her…’ Narnia with Harry. ❄️

Love it when readers take my book on holiday & send me a photo. Planning to do a Flat Stanley & secretly fold myself into this reader’s suitcase next time! #TheMidnightHour #books

THIS just happened! No. 1! Thank you so, so much everyone. What a Christmas present! 🎄 🎁@michaeljbooks.bsky.social #TheMidnightHour #books #richardandjudybookclub

🎁 R&J Book Club pick The Midnight Hour, waiting to sweep you to ‘98 & back again, Notting Hill to Paris to a damp old English rectory full of rescue dogs & family secrets. As those secrets start to surface, one woman must stop the hands of time before it’s too late. 🕰️ @michaeljbooks.bsky.social

Absolutely loved this beautifully written, beguiling dual timeline mystery by @evepollychase.bsky.social So evocative of 1990’s Notting Hill, I was fully immersed in all the senses. A wonderful book to escape into on a drab winter’s day and a very worthy Richard and Judy winter bookclub pick!

The Midnight Hour whirls back to Notting Hill, 1998. A house with a scruffy pink door, the thrum of Portobello Market, a movie - yes, that movie - being filmed in the local streets…& a terrible secret forged in the urgent heat of first love. Out now in paperback! #books #richardandjudybookclub

Inside the writing shed. Leaves and the dog always blow in together. ✍️

Farewell, Barbara Taylor Bradford. A woman of substance indeed. An extraordinary storyteller. What a life, what a career. RIP ✍️#barbaratatlorbradford #books

It snowed in Paris this week - ♥️ - so here to mention that one of my favourite scenes to write ever is in The Midnight Hour - set in Saint-Germain, in the snow. If you’ve read it you’ll know! No spoilers :) Paperback out in UK December 5th. ❄️❄️❄️ #TheMidnightHour

Tove Jansson’s The Summer Book is one of my all time favourites. It’s transportive, delicate, wears its genius so lightly. #books

Too soon? The Midnight Hour paperback out 5th December. 🎁 Mincepie bought for promo purposes only, obvs. (Was delicious.) #books @michaeljbooks.bsky.social

The Martha Netflix doc is completely fascinating - I need it to be twice as long. What a story. And her dahlias! #marthanetflix

Can’t stop waking up at six - so dark! - with head full of plot & character thoughts of WIP. Not genius ones sadly (will spare you!) I’d rather have an hour more sleep tbh. Any hacks?

Dogs in blankets. That time of the year again. ❄️

Oh! And the writing shed at dawn.
