New review - the fabulous The Mysterious Double Death of Honey Black by @lisahallauthor.bsky.social #BookSky #Whodunnit classicmystery.blog/2025/05/30/t...

Very proud to see @lisahallauthor.bsky.social on this excellent long list. Well done everyone. @herabooks-jp.bsky.social

I'm spending my day catching up with some of my ARCs which I had to put on the back burner to hit my deadline. I have reads from @lisahallauthor.bsky.social (almost finished it - brilliant!), @brianmcgilloway.bsky.social and @janecasey.bsky.social to choose from! Spoiled rotten! #booksky💙📚

New book alert! Claire is scrolling Facebook when she sees a photograph of a missing man and his child, only... the photograph is of Claire's husband and child. And then Tom doesn’t come home… Out on 19th February, EIGHT YEARS OF LIES is available to preorder now: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DQ229QPN

Is there anything more terrifying/exciting than the first day of a full structural edit? I don’t believe there is (apart from maybe bungee jumping with a frayed rope? 😭) #amwriting #amediting #hotelhollywood #oldhollywood

The rumours are true 🫢

This morning I saw the cover for Hollywood #3, complete with new title and I am JAZZED 💃🏾🕺🏽 Can’t wait to share it 🫢 (only 10 pages of edits to work through first 🤣)

OK, my BOOKS & DOGS Starter Pack is up and running for any readers and writers who also love dogs. To be added pls share and comment with a pic of your pooch! 🐾 go.bsky.app/Tpw1Zej

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer. Morning.

Today's image is called tiny dancers.

Working on copy edits for my next psych thriller… it’s nearly a real book! Claire is scrolling Facebook when she sees an urgent plea from a woman looking for her missing husband and child, only the photo in the post is a photo of Claire’s own family… and then Claire’s husband doesn’t come home…

I guess we’re posting here now! 🤭

Very happy to be taking part in this years Children in Read! If you want to do your bit then bid to win a signed copy of Honey Black… and I might even throw some little extras in the parcel 🫢❤️ www.jumblebee.co.uk/auction/deta...

I have had two exciting emails about two different books in the space of 24 hours, & that makes the fact I have to hand in two different books on the same day slightly less terrifying* 🤣 *WTF who even does this to themselves? If you can’t get hold of me on 2nd Dec it’s cos I DIED OF EXHAUSTION 🤣

Here is a lovely stack of books that I’ve read and loved recently… some are out already, some are not, but I guarantee you every single one is worth spending your hard earned money on 🫢 #amreading #books #bookrecommendations

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

From ghost stories to genre-busting crime/time travel, from psychological thrillers to serial killers, these books are guaranteed to give you goosebumps regardless of the weather... barbaracopperthwaite.wordpress.com/2023/11/01/4... @juliecohen.bsky.social @lisahallauthor.bsky.social

Some juggling going on this week as I write two books at the same time🤪 One is a shiny first draft, the other is in the depths of a tangled structural edit with notes EVERYWHERE 🤣 But I am happy to report that I am loving both stories, even though I don’t actually even know my own name anymore 🤣🤣

📚FOLLOW FRIDAY 📚 OK, so this could be a tumbleweed moment, but seeing as we're all still trying to find our friends here... how about #authors #bloggers #readers #writing Like and Comment on this post, and follow everyone who does the same. (And repost to get it out there 😀)

Absolutely LOVED #TheGriefHouse by Rebecca Thorne💕 Haunting, atmospheric & beautifully written, I was pulled into Blue’s story immediately, and I couldn’t put it down (also nearly did a tiny cry on multiple occasions😭). Out in Jan and definitely worth adding to your TBR ❤️ #bookrecommendations

Someone kindly reposted this from a little while ago (on the other site) and I shared it. Thought I’d do the same over here. 😊😊 With thanks to Heather Martin who wrote the article. edition.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.c...

Anyone else’s manuscript a HOT MESS at editing stage? To be fair my whole office looks like a bomb went off, but luckily these two are around to hoover up the biscuit crumbs 🤣 #amediting #amwriting #authorsofinstagram #hotelhollywood #lilyjonesisback

Happy pub day @beccamascull.bsky.social! This looks awesome ❤️
