Hello detectives! I hope your summer is going well.

I’ve just handed in the FINAL DRAFT of The Body in the Blitz – I’m so proud and excited (and exhausted) to say that it is now DONE! It’ll publish on the 12th of October this year – and you can find out a tiny bit about what’s in it here!

Last week I did a very fun interview with 2 Kid Interviews – they were brilliant and very thorough interviewers, and you can watch the whole thing below:

I also have a new blog post up on the Novelry about what to remember when you’re writing a crime novel – I hope it’ll be useful for all of the budding crime writers out there!

If you want to ask me any burning questions right now, the best places to do it are TikTok and Tumblr. I can’t answer everyone, but I am replying to a few questions a week on both places!

And remember, I’ll be up in Scotland in August – first at Waterstones Silverburn Glasgow on the 19th and then Edinburgh Festival on the 20th. So get your tickets now!
