I had the most wonderful time at the Nielsen Book awards in London on Monday. I was awarded two silver awards, for sales of over 250,000 copies, for The Missing and The Guilty Couple.

It was the most magical evening. It was so wonderful to meet Julia Donaldson (The Gruffalo etc), L...

It’s the close of 2024 so why not do a round up of my highlights? I used to do this every year then got out of the habit, and who knows what I did or achieved in the years I’ve missed? Not me, that’s for sure!

So here’s a round up, more to aid my terrible memory in the future than anything else!

At the beginning of March I traveled up to Skipton for my first ever painting course (landscapes in oil with the brilliant Jenny Aitken) Every Move You Make, my 10th standalone crime no...

It’s publication day for the paperback of Every Move You Make and, as well as that being exciting in its self it’s even more exciting that I can finally reveal that it’s part of the WH Smiths Richard and Judy Book Club!

Copies with a special interview in back will be available from WH Smiths high street and WH Smiths Travel. You can also snap up a £4.99 c...

Not so much sliding into autumn but slamming straight into it!

Once the structural edits have been delivered I won’t have more than a week or two before the line edits arrive, then it’s copy edits, then page proofs and, at some point, a discussion will ...

Wednesday 16th July 2024 was the most wonderful, exciting nerve-wracking day. I was awarded an honorary doctorate – Doctor of Letters – from the university where I spend three wonderful years from 1992-1995, Northumbria University.

My degree was awarded to me by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson who is the current Chancellor of the university. I was so pleased to be able to share this special moment with my parents and I only stumbled once during my speech to the undergraduates.

It’s probably felt like a long time coming if you’re a US/Canadian reader and saw me make lots of noise about this book back in March but it’s finally publication day.
