Just a few tickets left! So get in quick!

@sarahsteeleauthor.bsky.social tries to explain the intricacies of The Piano Accordion in episode 19 of The Dull Man's Podcast but the AI anti-dullness filter takes over and fades her out!

Thank you, Caroline!

I’m so looking forward to chatting to the Cleeve Bookshop this Thursday about my new novel. Come along and find out how I persuaded some real officers from the Metropolitan Police to plausibility-check my story of dodgy art dealers. Hope to see you there! @headlinebooks.bsky.social

Getting ready to get on air and talk about this baby

I loved revisiting some of the locations in my new novel for this fun piece. Oh and did I mention THE LAST LETTERS FROM VILLA CLARA is out today?!

It’s official - she’s a page turner!

In episode 18 - Health and the lumbersexual with @sarahsteeleauthor.bsky.social Dave Harries and Demitris Deech

1963 inspiration for the High Court trial in my new novel, thanks to a fantastic exhibition about Christine Keeler at Demontford Uni. THE LAST LETTERS OF VILLA CLARA is a romp through 1960s London and Italy in search of art thieves, with a large dose of Profumo thrown in @headlinebooks.bsky.social

One of those looks familiar! Thank you

My new novel as a 2025 Oscars look. THE LAST LETTERS OF VILLA CLARA is out next week in paperback! #bookstolooks #2025oscars #oscars. @headlinebooks.bsky.social @sheilland.bsky.social

Deech stumbles upon a new motto for the SAS in episode 17 of The Dull Man's Podcast with @sarahsteeleauthor.bsky.social

Guess which days I was on a writing retreat?

I’m on a writing retreat in the Alps. There are dogs, sofas, coffee, snowy mountains and fluffy slippers. The words are flowing and I don’t want to go home!

What I get up to when I’m not writing.

Recognise her? This was taken on a research trip to Delft, to find out Johannes Vermeer. THE LAST LETTERS FROM VILLA CLARA is out next month in paperback - find out how I ‘created’ a fictional work by the great master. Hope I haven’t given away too much about getting a forgery past the experts!

It’s a beautiful book and tribute x

I’ve been lucky enough to have a sneak preview of this, and it’s a gorgeous read. If you only do one thing this evening, preorder it!

Coming this Monday 30th - episode 14 of The Dull Man’s Podcast with Demitris Deech @sarahsteeleauthor.bsky.social and myself getting very excited about vending machines, parking and the middle aisle of Lidl.

Book 5 … She’s out in the world! I’m so proud of this novel, which let me indulge my love of art. It’s packed with lost masterpieces, 60s London and a decades-spanning love story. I can’t for people to meet Leonora Birch and the young women who inhabit her boarding house. @headlinebooks.bsky.social

Frosty dog walk this morning #gloucestershire #stroud

Ha ha! Nice to see you here

Im so happy to see my new book here! Thank you @matineegirl1.bsky.social

My daughter is already obsessed, and it’s not out yet!

I made a new book! It’s out as ebook and TPB next week. Dive in if you fancy a taste of 1960s London and Tuscany, with a sprinkling of art thievery and roguishness - oh and gorgeous fashion, obvs (can’t help myself) @headlinebooks.bsky.social @sheilland.bsky.social #booksky #historicalfictiom #💙📚

Happy St Cecilia’s Day, my fellow musos. Also, this is me wondering where I left my music.

Thank you! X
