Brighton and Brighton-ish lovelies, hoping to see you on Thursday at the Dome with Andi Osho. It’s going to be so fun. 🤩https://brightonfestival.org/whats-on/XcR-andi-osho-dorothy-koomson-at-all-costs/

Remember that awkward 24th book I just finished? Well… my editor LOVED it! My agent LOVED it! So, yeah, I’ve still got it, babes, I’ve still got it… 💅🏾😭🤣 Seriously, though, can breathe a sigh of relief. X

Finally finished that awkward 24th book! 😉🎉 Am fit for nothing. 😴 #Book24 #DrKezLanyon #KezLanyon #Profiler #IfYoureWatchingThis

A brilliant delivery has just arrived. 📚💙 Thank you @bertsbooks.bsky.social @dorothykoomson.bsky.social Can’t wait to get started on it!

‘Preferred option’ is doing heavy lifting here. This Govt is good at saying one thing to get people to pipe down and then doing another. Like digital ID - it’s still happening. When a group of us spoke to the last tech minister, he was determined to gut our copyright laws cos of the deals he’d made.

Seeing as everyone is talking about Manosphere, just a reminder that Every Smile You Fake is all about social media influencers and what happens when a family member becomes embroiled in that world. The research I did was as eye-opening as it was terrifying. www.dorothykoomson.co.uk/book/every-s...

I’m on BBC Radio 4 #looseends right now (Sat 14 March) talking all things The Quiet Girls, en-suites and the way I get back at people who do me wrong. Also got to air my upset at Pluto the planet being downgraded. Was a fabulous show with fantastic guests. Listen now or catch up on BBC Sounds 📻🎙️

Have just caught a glimpse of the treasure at the end of the rainbow from the train to Edinburgh!! Who knew, eh?! 🤣😭🤩😍 #TheQuietGirls #ThrillFestOnTour #PotOfGold #ReadingTreasure #DrKezLanyon

It’s that time of year again…Libby’s birthday AND Ghana Independence Day… 🎂🥳🤩 No, Jack, you don't understand. Libby is short for Liberty. My birthday is the 6th March, which is Ghana Independence Day, so my parents called me Liberty. -Libby to her husband-to-be, Jack, in The Woman He Loved Before

I know I should just block and move on, but ‘people’ like these REALLY grind my gears. They prey on authors’ desire to connect with readers and take their money. . .Decided to introduce this person to the wind-up merchant side of my nature… And it worked! 🤣

🎉🎉🎉

Went for a drink (or 3) with Dr K and when I say we needed that… I cannot express how much we needed that. ☺️ he didn’t wear his matching jumper in case you’re wondering. Am now in a darkened room watching The Incredible Hulk TV series while he watches Curling downstairs… 😅

Babes, I have quite a few events coming up in London, Edinburgh, Manchester and Brighton, Birmingham and online to celebrate publication of The Quiet Girls. 🤞🏾 I’ll see you at one of them. Visit www.dorothykoomson.co.uk/events for more details

I don’t know why he’s not laughing…I think I’m hilarious. 😅🤣 #MurdochMysteries

You know that saying, ‘Every accusation is a confession?’ That. By the bucketload.

Anyone on Upscrolled? Am giving it a try and will follow you over there if you are. X

I crocheted my latest book a cute little off-the-shoulder jumper in its cover colours. I think she likes it. 😍 It also makes the book very huggable…and believe me, you’ll need something to hug reading some of the high-thrill scenes in this book…😉☺️ Do you love my book jumper as much as I do?

Gave someone a Kez Lanyon bundle today. She’s going to start with Every Smile You Fake, obvs. This trio looks so pretty together, wrapped up in special ‘Enjoy Your New Kez Lanyon Thriller’ ribbon. ICYDK: The Quiet Girls will be out in hardback on 12 March. 🤩😍

Another FB memory. This photo is 22 years old - me at the launch of my rom-com second novel, The Chocolate Run in a pub in London. Was so much fun.

Got all the colours out for beautiful Dani’s Nine Night. She made the world a wonderful place to be. Still can’t believe she’s gone. So much love in the room tonight. ❤️

Gosh, this just popped up on FB memories. I’d forgotten this. Nice to have this reminder that my work does have impact beyond telling a good story. ❤️

I’m trying to find new ways to relax and improve my mental health so have decided to learn how to crochet properly. I made this Granny Square in a workshop today and I think it’s boss, as my Scouser husband NEVER says. 😅 It’s perfectly imperfect and I love it. Will keep you updated on my progress.🧶

Absolutely devastated that another beautiful soul has passed away. Still in shock. Danielle was a wonderful, talented person - full of creativity, integrity and compassion. The world of TV and the world in general has lost a great person. I’m so sad.

Happy New Year, Beloveds! I’m hoping that 2026 brings all the good things we need personally and globally. See you on this road. ❤️

Yay! We’ve reached my favourite part of the year, with my favourite game of the year - The ‘Where The Jeff Did I Hide The Presents I’ve Been Buying Throughout The Year’ Game! 🙃🫣🤣 Every year the same thing!

Dr K and I have got matching jumpers. We wore them out shopping today. I regret nothing. PS Don’t come at me with hat*r energy. Am not interested. Like I say, I regret nothing. 😎

MERRY KEZ-MAS! I accidentally created a crime-thriller series. I LOVED writing about Dr Kez Lanyon so much that I had to do it again and again. Currently writing Kez Lanyon Book 4. You can buy Every Smile You Fake & Give Him To Me now and pre-order The Quiet Girls. Have a very merry Kez-mas! 🤶🏾🎄😍

Christmas has officially arrived in our house - Dr K & I have watched our first Christmas movie. Have also decided to manifest writing a Christmas film for 2026. Pls check in on me next year, OK? Am determined to make it happen.* 🤶🏾🎄 *If you know anyone who can make it happen, send them my way. 🤞🏾🙏🏾🎄🤶🏾

You know when someone you always knew was a wrong’un but everyone seemed to love FINALly shows the world that they’re a wrong’un. THAT! *This is absolutely have had too much Prosecco and am on the train home post.

Lovelies, Carolyn at Hot Yoga South and Althea Wolfe are raising money to get clean water for 30,000 families whose lives have been devastated by Hurricane Melissa. They need to raise £7000 by this weekend. 👇🏾Please give if you can and/or share if you can. pay.collctiv.com/hurricane-34...

Like one of the themes in Every Smile You Fake, this video from the Data Protection Commission ie is just a reminder to pause and think before you post stuff about your family, especially children. youtu.be/4QL1FmBaof8

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? Think I’m good.

Babes, The Quiet Girls season has officially arrived. Yesterday, we launched things with an exclusive, first-look proof brunch for 15 members of Black Girls Brunch Club (you see what we did there?!).

So I’m excited ! The girls are back in town - or rather their dressing room - and yes I need a laugh - youtu.be/TWkTb1zuUW0 @blackartcultureedu.bsky.social @dorothykoomson.bsky.social @ntsonline.bsky.social @palacetheatre.bsky.social @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social
