Hey!
I’m having a launch event for The Christmas Tree Killer at Serenity Booksellers on Tuesday 4th November.
There will be Christmas cheer, mulled wine, and (fictional) festive murder…
Tickets are on sale now, so please do come along!
www.ticketsource.co.uk/serenity-boo...
If anyone would like a signed Erika Piper trilogy for cheaper than in the shops, DM me!
I only have a couple of sets left, though…
Would any lovely authors be willing to read the sequel to The Killer’s Christmas List and maybe provide a little quote if you enjoy it?
Thanks!!
Happy publication day to @cmacwritescrime.bsky.social - The republished Erika Piper trilogy is out today!
Don’t miss this spine-tingling, fast-paced police procedural that will leave you breathless…
Hi Rónán! Yep, I’m with HarperNorth, who seem to be thriving! I have a two book deal for a series coming next year, my original trilogy that came out with Red Dog Press has just been republished, and I have a squeal to the Killer’s Christmas List out in November!

COVER REVEAL!!
A higher resolution cover, perhaps with a quote from a fellow author proclaiming my genius will follow, but for now, here is the reissued cover for A WASH OF BLACK, Erika Piper’s first outing, published by HarperNorth in July!
Hey Lauren, can I offer something for this? I can offer a signed Christmas Killer’s List, and the chance to be named / name a character in the sequel?
I know it’s not much, and I’m not a big name, but would love to help if I can!
If Liverpool win the league today, I’ll tell you a secret…
