I’m still slowly working on the art but the way I work can’t be done fast, and that’s ok, it will be ready soon. I’m also pretty much in hibernation mode now and making plans for next year 🍃 In the meantime you can find my shop here haeslwrid.co.uk

When the reader is an amazing author 🖤 @sarahhutchins.bsky.social 👀

The weekend belongs to me ✊

We think in stories. We talk in stories. We believe in stories. We are stories. Our identity is the character we play in the story of our lives... And it is of immeasurable importance to us. Zach can't live with his story... #BookSky📚💙

Take me for a walk Take me for a walk Let's go for a walk Take me for the walk

We have some amazing authors leaving us at the end of the year. This is the last chance to grab some of these incredible titles and support them for the foreseeable future. All books in our store are 25% with the code NORTHODOXMAS until the new year www.northodox.co.uk/bookstore

It was great to meet Paul at Manchester on Saturday and get a copy of his book, The Great Orme (signed as well!). Looking forward to reading it! @pauldcoombs.bsky.social #booksky💙📚

A real pleasure also, to meet super-talented mythology and folklore author @sarahhutchins.bsky.social of Forever Lost at Sea fame 🖤 #BookSky💙📚

Nothing cooler than being surrounded by incredible authors who love stories as much as you do. Lucky to be in such great company yesterday at Manchester House of Books and Friends with @jacksonjamie.bsky.social @alethearlyons.bsky.social @cdelull.bsky.social John Storey. #BookSky📚💙

I'll be there. I'm happy to sign my books for anyone... And so devalue it significantly.

Leaving the airport having just dropped my incredible eldest daughter off. Watching her chase her dreams is one of my greatest joys. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it ✈️🖤

Happy Friday from the part of November where the sun sets at 4pm and everything feels like the start of a dark, unhinged thriller. (Which, conveniently, is exactly my favourite setting…) #Booksky💙📚

Here ye here ye

I may have gone early with the mince pies... No stopping me now.

Sunday morning roar of the big machine...

Walking Daisy right now, and came across these discarded bouquets. Can't help but wonder what the story is

“Der Rufer” (The Caller) by Gerhard Marcks. I took this when I was in Berlin a few years ago. The base is inscribed with the quote: “I wander through the world and cry ‘Peace, peace, peace.'” Never ever stop.

My dark psychological thriller - The Great Orme, is back in Waterstones... Just in time for Christmas... 🖤

My photo from my favourite dystopian tunnel at the weekend... Meet me here when the end is in sight

This morning, a little reminder of when The Great Orme cover landed in its final shape... Thank you to everyone who has bought it, supported me, and reviewed it 🖤 A new novel is to be released 2026. #BookSky📚💙

Another journey by train

Proper autumn #saturdaymorning

A great bonfire/ fireworks night in the UK (although the noise of the fireworks upsets many dogs ☹️). The primordial fascination of fire, always has been a lure to humans

Why bother reading The Great Orme... #BookSky💙📚 #Books #DarkThrillers

Tuesday tunes be like... (Yeah, my 📸, they usually are)

I think the birds are trying to communicate with us. Read music? Name that tune...

Inspired by my many visits to Whitby... A new edition of my diverse collection of dark and macabre short stories - FOR STRANGERS ONLY is to be released by the wonderful @northodoxpress.bsky.social before the end of the year 🖤 #BookSky💙📚 #Whitby #ShortStoryCollection

Suzanne Vega last night... Looked and sounded amazing 🖤

If I let go, the other whole of Earth implodes. Everything gone forever.

Forget cheap scares this Halloween - The Great Orme crawls into your mind and stays there. A chilling confession unraveling one terrible truth: sometimes, doing what’s right can destroy you. #Halloween #DarkThriller #BookSky📚💙

My novel - The Great Orme is a classic Halloween gift. Any arguments, meet me in the yard! #BookSky💙📚

Good morning 🌞

Caught in Whitby's jaws...

Good morning from #Whitby

Just saying 👀 The Great Orme - Paperback | Northodox Press share.google/rvchb6STrTQV...

This isn't a story... It's a confession. The Great Orme #BookSky💙📚 #Darkthriller

My dopamine drug of choice...

Saturday in the sticks

The Great Orme is teetering on 39 mostly lovely reviews on Amazon. Id appreciate anyone who's read it adding another to send it into the glorious roaring 40s.... Pretty please... #Booksky📚💙 #DarkThriller #BookReviews

The Great Orme comes Softly through the shadow of the evening sun Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead Looking for the victim shivering in bed Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and Suddenly a movement in the corner of the room And there is nothing I can do... #BookSky💙📚

Someone's not that excited for Halloween...

Hello Tuesday... Pick a mask... Any mask...

Yet another incredible performance by New Model Army on the last night of their UK tour in Manchester yesterday 🖤 @newmodelarmy.bsky.social

View over old Manchester before I head into the O2 Ritz to see the legendary New Model Army ✊

This van parked up at the traffic lights... I did a double take... Definitely a mannequin, right?

Cute Halloween postbox topper near me... #Halloween

Daughter E. prepping her room for Halloween with this handsome bag of bones...

This photo from 2017 at The Rigger in Newcastle-under-Lyme... Justin Sullivan of New Model Army @newmodelarmy.bsky.social and me. I was pursing my lips to contain a daft smile from cracking open. Justin is a musical hero of mine. I can't wait to see NMA again tomorrow in Manchester 🖤 #musicsky

THE HOUSE OF DUST AND SHADOWS books2read.com/u/3Lq6P7 We are but dust and shadows is the motto on the sundial at Blackthorn Manor. When a famous painter dies suddenly, disinheriting his three daughters, no one knows why. The past may not be the only thing haunting their family. Pre-order now!

Hi Neil @talkscaredpod.bsky.social ... Daisy and I loved Good Boy. Eerie to the bone 🖤 #BookSky📚💙
