Michael Robotham

Week One in Germany and Die weiße Krähe (THE WHITE CROW) has gone straight in at #2 on the Spiegel List. That pesky Richard Osmond and his geriatric amateur sleuths have held me at bay. There may have to be a murder before next week's list.

Another brilliant crowd at Ocean Grove. And great to share the stage with Mark Brandi, award winning author of EDEN. This tired little WHITE CROW is flying home. I have a new book to edit.

It's almost here! Byron Writers Festival '25 features more than 160 extraordinary writers on Bundjalung Country this 8-10 August.⁠

Day 2 in Perth. Bookshops, radio interviews and a great crowd at Mindarie. THE WHITE CROWis still the fiction #1 in Australia. Thank you to all of my wonderful readers (ie. sick puppies).

Well that was seriously fun. Great crowd. Great crack. And the best Irish interviewer since Wogan. Thank you Dervla McTiernan for making it a special night in Perth. #TheWhiteCrow

THE WHITE CROW is soaring. Huge thanks to all those sick puppies (ie wonderful readers) who put the wind beneath my wings. 🥳🎉

The White Crow tour continues in Canberra. Thank you Chris Hammer for sharing the stage. Dinner afterwards with Michael Brissenden. What is the collective noun for ex-journos? A joint byline.

THE WHITE CROW is out today (July 1) in the US and Canada.
“A stunning crime novel.” Booklist.
“End to end excitement for crime fans.” Kirkus Review.
“Another standout thriller from Robotham.” US Library Journal.

The White Crow by Michael Robotham @scribnerbooks.bsky.social @michaelrobotham.bsky.social
The White Crow was beautifully written, well thought out, perfectly paced, & gripping. If you have not read a book by Michael Robotham before, you are missing out.

Evie needs a new frock (and she's not one for dresses). She and Cyrus are off to an awards night. Thank you to the Australian Book Industry Awards for the shortlisting. And congrats to all the nominees.

A ferry trip to Patonga for a literary lunch with one of my favourite people asking the questions- legendary film critic Margaret Pomeranz. She’s a national treasure.

I’m glad to be discovered. Spread the word. M

I can see the future and it looks amazing.
THE WHITE CROW is penned, polished and ready for a 2025 release. Today I can reveal the covers, which look stunning. More news soon. Prebook it here: geni.us/TheWhiteCrow

What a lovely message. If you keep reading them I’ll keep writing them. M

The Noalition will finally say yes to something- screwing community backed independents and cementing the duopoly of the major parties.

A wonderful crowd at Port Macquarie Library last night. There were sick puppies and true believers and even a few Robotham virgins. #StormChild. #bestseller

Brilliant night in Queenscliff, Victoria, for the launch of the 2024 program of the literary festival coming October 18-27. Thank you Sofie Laguna for asking all the right questions. Made you laugh. www.queenscliffeliteraryfestival.com.au

Thank you Ben Hobson for the interrogation and the sick puppies who came out to see me at my last event in Queensland. The STORM CHILD tour is heading home. Evie and Cyrus are still the #1 adult fiction title in Australia. Thank you.
