I signed a “complete collection” for a colleague of Mrs W’s. Little moments like this, especially at this time of year, are a reminder of how lovely and special it can be to be an author.

Sent this by a dear friend. ALL AT SEA proofs are making their way out in the world! Excuse me while I go bite my nails to the quick!

Here’s a little sneak peek preview of ALL AT SEA (out in Feb) in @thebookseller.com I still get a massive kick out of seeing my work in those hallowed pages alongside some of the absolute very best writers around.

Still water

I’m completely chuffed to bits! A huge table of the new Murder in Tinseltown paperback in Waterstones Leeds looking absolutely fabulous!

Happy Thanksgiving 🇨🇦

The snow’s here!

Britain is facing a reading crisis. How do we change that?   I am supporting the Sunday Times Get Britain Reading campaign. Join me and pledge to spend at least 10 minutes a day reading for the next six weeks link.thetimes.co.uk/join/74t/sig...

What an amazing way to spend publication day! Had the honour of chatting with some @ucalgary.bsky.social students about crime fiction and their own writing. They’re a clever bunch!!!

It’s UK paperback publication day for Murder in Tinseltown. And as HarperNorth is celebrating five years this autumn, I thought I’d stack up my contribution to this wonderful publisher and team’s output (plus something new!) Here’s to five MORE years and beyond!

A big box of murder!!! My author copies of the fabulous UK paperbacks of Murder in Tinseltown have arrived. And it’s out next month! 🔗 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0008...

The neighbours are going to HATE us!

There was a little sneak peek at this during @bloodyscotland.bsky.social - but here’s the official unveiling! I’m delighted to share the cover of ALL AT SEA, my new standalone, out in 2026. And if you’d like to read it early, it’s on @netgalley.bsky.social 🔗 www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book...

A few (of the many) highlights from this year’s @bloodyscotland.bsky.social A huge thank you to my fellow authors, the organisers and the wonderful volunteers that make this such a highlight every year!

A message and a bargain from Stirling! 🔗 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0D6...

No trip back is ever complete without a quick wander around @uofglasgow.bsky.social Resplendent, as always.

Guess where I am…

The perfect writing desk doesn’t exist…

Happy Pub Day to MURDER IN TINSELTOWN by Max Nightingale, aka @jdwhitelaw13.bsky.social! This mystery story immerses the reader in an investigation set against the glamorous backdrop of Hollywood’s golden era. 🔍

‼️Bargain alert ‼️ The Garden Club Murders is on Audible offer this month. Narrated by the irrepressible Sid Sagar - it’s a gift for your shell-like 👂 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0D6...

I was saddened to hear of Allan Ahlberg’s passing a few weeks ago. Many happy childhood memories involving his books. Bought one of my favourites for the next generations of Whitelaws.

What a treat to be included in this fabulous roundup of immersive crime novels in @washingtonpost.com ahead of Murder in Tinseltown's US launch. And in some esteemed company too!!!

A Sunday morning talking cozy crime in some fine company beckons at this year’s @bloodyscotland.bsky.social VERY excited to be heading back to Stirling for the first time in TWO years!

A bittersweet book delivery today. Very much been looking forward to diving into the late, great Denzil Meyrick’s Last Orders. A very sad loss.

Oooooooh. A lovely mention for Murder in Tinseltown PB in the @thebookseller.com autumn/winter buyers’ guide!

A MASSIVE thank you to Audreys Books in Edmonton for make me feel at home (as always). And they put me to work signing a big heap of books (not pictured a stack of Garden Club Murders almost as big as me!)

Just found my old NUJ press card from 100 years ago.

Look at those clouds! #abstorm #YYC #calgary

Butter wouldn’t melt…

A wee wander around Toronto

Up to my ears in paperback edits for Murder in Tinseltown. Been a lovely trip back in time (both IRL and in the narrative)

I was made a fuss of when I went into the wonderful Owl’s Nest Books in Calgary. And then I was put straight to work signing!

Incredibly excited to be returning to @bloodyscotland.bsky.social this year on a host of fabulous panels with even greater authors! bloodyscotland.com/whats-on/

The Bingo Hall Detectives is ONLY 99p at the moment! What a bargain… if I do say so myself 🔗 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B09G...
