Cambridge, 1939: Witchcraft was outlawed in Britain long before WWII… but what if MI5 needed a witch to stop Hitler’s spies? "A beautifully written novel that brings a unique twist to the WWII era." #WW2 #womensfiction #witchlit #mustread mybook.to/HerDarkestHour

‘Burning Down the House’: Riveting book explores systemic and historical trauma www.peoplesworld.org/article/burn...

COME THE YOU KNOW WHAT THE YOU KNOW WHAT ON

And last - for now - is @jacksonjamie.bsky.social 's Adventures in LovE - another @northodoxpress.bsky.social book. I'm currently reviewing this in detail on app.thestorygraph.com/profile/fran... but basically, this book is like water - dive in and let the prose wash over you. Can't praise enough.

Another @northodoxpress.bsky.social book - Green Laughing by Andrew Hall. I read this on a recent trip and I *made noises in public* because certain parts impacted me so much. Even if you're not normally a Sci-fi person, there's something here for you. Think Orbital, but better.

Another @northodoxpress.bsky.social offering. Claire Morris is Completely Lost by Kristina Thornton. This one is a master-class for all aspiring writers in how to create and subvert a status quo within the first chapter. I was hooked from the offset and didn't put it down.

We've got our first @northodoxpress.bsky.social book now - the incredible Cottonopolis by @sflayzell.bsky.social I read this months ago and I *still* find myself thinking about it. Queer, working-class, northern historical fiction for young adults. Chef's kiss - no notes.

As we're coming up to Christmas 🎄 I thought I'd highlight some indie-published books 📚 that I've loved this year, in case you'd like some recommendations for gifts. 🎁 I'll tag the publisher in each one, and then list some indie bookshops at the end. Please, please add to this 🧵

Tis true! Brilliant and bonkers shall be on my gravestone. Or would be were I not a vampire 🦇 🖤

Today's writing is back into The Executioner's Prayer, with priestly politics, fanatics on the rise, & monster egg on someone's face. I'm determined to get a draft of this finished by the end of the year, but other (good) things keep getting in the way.

One of my favourite reads this year. Near instant sell out, back in print

We had no idea how stupidly popular old Remington was going to be when we released it, and then a year's worth of books went in a few hours. Don't miss out on this second run. We can't predict how long it will last 😅

Publication day for the latest DCI Satterthwaite book today! Link in next post. It's also available in paperback - just waiting for it to go live on Amazon. Enjoy!

A good piece by Teika Marija Smits on short story writing, especially how to create the write impression at the start - will be applying this to some of my work today. teikamarijasmits.com/2025/10/28/h...

Some incredible writing of hallucinations and trippy visuals in this one. Might not be for everyone, but for those willing to take a risk on something different will be richly rewarded 😍
