Happy #PLR day to all who are celebrating! I am totally blown away that 12,730 of you loaned copies of my books from libraries in the last year. What a fantastic resource libraries are - thank you to all the hugely hardworking librarians and to everyone who has borrowed my books. I’m touched ❤️

Oh you know I am!! ♾️❤️

My Name is Anna by Lizzy Barber has been at the top of my “to read” list since hearing her speak at Iceland Noir in November. Snow outside, hot tea and my fav chair inside. Ready-set-go! @bylizzybarber.bsky.social

Happy reading Laura, really hope you enjoy it! 🙏

Aah, my first spot of my proof in the wild Emma!! Thank you so so much for sharing - I hope you enjoy the read ☺️

Authors often get asked about their earliest memories of writing. Reminiscing with @charduck.bsky.social led me to dig out my first ‘novel’, aged 11, an homage to my childhood heroine, @jacquelinewilson.bsky.social. Here’s the first page in all its glory! ✨

Hugh Grant in his villain era is the trend we didn’t know we needed. Superb.

Reached the stage where I can’t understand my kid’s maths homework. He is 5. We have a lot of school left to go.

Hands up who's going to write this one?

It’s every writer’s dream to see one of their books come to the screen, so I couldn’t be more delighted to share this amazing news with you at last! 🤩🤩🤩 #TheRumour #booktoscreen 💙📚 bit.ly/3OZeCyN

Annual ‘wait until my family are asleep so I can rearrange the decorations’ night complete!

Go on: what’s your Christmas movie? 🎄 Mine’s Four Christmases, with a Little Women chaser* * ‘95 or ‘19, it changes

Before I had kids, I’m not sure I realised that the question I would be asked most frequently, that would fill me with the most existential dread, would be ‘what’s for snack?’

What fabulous Friday #Bookpost! I’m so excited for @nikkismithauthor.bsky.social’s new thriller #TheyHadItComing - her settings are so transportive; and this one’s set in Bali! Thank you so much Nikki and @vikingbooksuk.bsky.social 😊

Hello #Reykjavik! I’ve heard of fireworks displays as a form of welcome, but a volcano is something else! 🌋 #IcelandNoir

Blue Sky #readers: my #IcelandNoir panel is all about ‘Why I Write.’ What questions have you always wanted to ask authors about why they write, their writing process, etc? #AMA!

Truly the best! ❤️

Actual footage of me determined to get to lunch with @emilyfreud.bsky.social @charduck.bsky.social @laurennorthauthor.bsky.social @laurapauthor.bsky.social @emmacurtisauthor.n.social @nikkismithauthor.bsky.social today! (Disclaimer I’m still finding my feet here and may have missed someone out 😱)

🎉 It’s #IcelandNoir week! 🎉 Do I know anyone on here heading to the festival? My panel is on Friday at 9am, discussing all things thriller writing. I’d love to see your face if you’re planning a visit!

Today in ‘things I have discovered during editing’: did you know the colour ‘puce’ is named for the French for ‘flea’ as the colour resembles the bloodstain that dries after a flea’s been smashed? Hmm.

Oh so *this* is where you all are!
