I can now add Die Hard to my collection rounding out my quartet of hard to find soundtracks joining Alien 3, Predator and The Exorcist. Brings back amazing movie memories.

@nickdesemlyen.bsky.social Listening to the 30th Anniversary soundtrack to Die Hard (thank you Santa) and surely this has to be a significant piece of evidence supporting the case that this movie, is indeed, a Christmas movie.

Had the best time at the Theakstons Crime Writing Festival this year and a lot of that was due to the people - familiar faces like @lifeofcrime.bsky.social and Martyn and new friends like @anniedyer.bsky.social and @paulgitshamauthor.bsky.social and their lovely spouses. Amazing people!!

There’s just something about this movie - I think it’s my favourite Lynch film. Today it is anyway!

I’d recommend preordering your books with @waterstones.bsky.social as they are super efficient! It was amazing to receive my book over a week before Publication Day and to hold it knowing others were already reading it warmed my heart! Thank you Waterstones!!

One Week To Go until Publication Day! I’m so excited. If you haven’t already ordered, you can find your options here - darylnilbett.com/2025/04/25/d.... If you pre-ordered from Waterstones, you may already be reading! For the rest of you, the clock is ticking - seven days …
