On the blog today is #FallingFast the first in @nlbro.bsky.social Drummond and McGregor series published by Grey Dog Books. The book was published over ten years ago but only came out on Audible last year when it caught my eye. Narrated by Angus King. peterturnsthepage.wordpress.com/2025/10/13/f...

Here's our next Hull Noir event : thrilled @nlbro.bsky.social is joining us at @hulllibraries.bsky.social (Central and online), 17th September. Also! Keep 4th October free for our next film evening. We've gone more recent this time with a banger from 2004. More soon!

Oh and THIS happened! Just chilling in the Daily Record with @nlbro.bsky.social as you do www.dailyrecord.co.uk/scotland-now... #Dailyrecord

Get ready for a visit to Stirling you will never forget Through the eyes of @nlbro.bsky.social and Connor Fraser... With so many thanks to friends @visit-scotland.bsky.social www.visitscotland.com/things-to-do... #booktrail #Stirling #Scottishfiction #traveltuesday

When is it going to be enough, @johnswinney.bsky.social? When are you going to show a spine and sack this disrespectful, incompetent oaf who is clearly unfit for public office? Or is this going to be another example of party before principle?

One week ago today....Connor Fraser took his last steps into fiction....well for now at least. Relive the series with this guide to Stirling and Belfast via the novels www.thebooktrail.com/broadfoots-s... @nlbro.bsky.social @littlebrown.bsky.social #Stirling @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social

Excellent question…

We’re very excited to be hosting a book event with crime writers @liammcilvanney.bsky.social and @nlbro.bsky.social at Helensburgh Community Hub on Friday 4th July. Liam will be telling us all about his latest novel The Good Father. Get your tickets here www.skiddle.com/whats-on/eve...

Now that’s how you start pub day…

Thanks to @thebooktrail.bsky.social fir letting me muse about getting back to work after loss, the job of writing and why browser histories should always be deleted…

Can’t wait for this one. Join us to talk about what is sure to be one of the books of the year…

Three weeks today - this gripping crime thriller will be one day old... Prepare your TBR pile now.... thebooktrail.com/exit-wounds-... @nlbro.bsky.social @littlebrown.bsky.social #ExitWounds

May is the month that is going to blow your mind crime fiction wise. Why? Say hello (and goodbye) to Connor Fraser thebooktrail.com/exit-wounds-... @nlbro.bsky.social @littlebrown.bsky.social #ExitWounds

And then, somehow, there were ten. The hardest book I’ve ever had to write. Started it as a son, ended it as an orphan. Hope you all enjoy it… amzn.eu/d/f3Y6Ta6

Pointless, performative, petty politicking. State the blatantly obvious, deliver nothing. Meanwhile, the problems that fuel the far-right reactionary “look how bad things are” narrative go unresolved. But it’s to be expected from @johnswinney.bsky.social, an FM big on rhetoric, low on delivery

Who fancies a game of Broadfoot Bingo? How many Connor Fraser's have you read? Book 7 is on its way.... #ExitWounds shorturl.at/8CiCJ #worldbookday #diainternacionaldellibro #journeemondialedulivre #WelttagdesBuches #wereldboekendag #varldsbokdagen @littlebrown.bsky.social @nlbro.bsky.social

In today’s instalment of gym muppets, we have a guy sitting on a bench, taking up weights and space, while having a FaceTime call everyone else can hear. Putting the dumb in dumbell

As the wise woman herself aka @fionamsharp.bsky.social said yesterday, @nlbro.bsky.social is braving @waterstones.bsky.social Durham again in May ;) to talk about Connor Fraser book 7 DO NOT MISS - thebooktrail.com/book-trails/... @littlebrown.bsky.social #ExitWounds

The first Connor Fraser novel set in #Edinburgh and #Stirling... Book 7 out in just over a month. Prepare now... thebooktrail.com/book-trails/... @nlbro.bsky.social #crimefiction @littlebrown.bsky.social @lomondtrossachs.bsky.social @stirlingcht.bsky.social

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Absolutely loved this book. It’s a haunting, harrowing and utterly absorbing study of how far a father will go to protect a family indelibly stained by darkness. I read it months ago and I’m still thinking about it. Pre-order now, thank me later…

Didn’t take long for the White House press secretary to descend into full-on Trumpian ranting. God help the members of the (legitimate) press who are still allowed in the room…

So, the proofs of Exit Wounds have started arriving with booksellers and fellow writers. Nervous? Me? Naaaah….

Found this today. First published byline… a lifetime ago

Delighted that the Belfast launch of The Good Father will be at the great No Alibis Bookstore on Botanic Avenue, 23 July at 6pm. See you there if you can make it…

Feels like the right time to revisit a classic…

What Liam says. He neglects to say The Good Father is an emotionally devastating rollercoaster of suspense, but that’s ok. You can watch me remind him on the night. Join us!

Really looking forward to this one - Liam has written an absolute barnstormer with The Good Father and the craic is bound to be great. Join us!

Well, this year has been the rancid cherry on top of the relentless shit sandwich that has been life for the last six years. Here’s to new beginnings and a better 2025 for all of us…

“You will be haunted by three spirits” The three spirits:

Bargain alert! Tense, claustrophobic and utterly compelling, this is one of my books of the year. Geddit now, thank me later… *author of this post takes no responsibility for sleepless nights incurred through reading…

What kind of sick thrill comes from killing a defenseless fox? This is not sport, it’s a shameful stain on humanity. Time to stand up for what's right—demand an END to fox hunting NOW!

Day. Made…

So, this is December

Excellent cover…

Once more unto the breach…

Who’s down with this? ✋🏽

Some moon…

America.

Blue sky sort of a morning…

Getting a hell of a lot of follows as the exodus from shitter continues. Apologies if I miss following anyone back at moment…

Being on here reminds me how nice it was not to be on any version of Truth Social

Clearing the heid…

Just arrived - author copies of my ninth (!) book. Out next week (16th), Connor’s darkest case yet that reaches into the past and changes his future. Hope you all enjoy it! Unmarked Graves (Connor Fraser) amzn.eu/d/8eLLv4s
