I often get asked about my research for the books I’ve written. It’s my favourite part and there’s always plenty of it!

Here are a few of the books I read while I was researching The Flight.

I was listening to an audio book on my way to the gym this morning, as usual, when suddenly, the plot to my next book FELL INTO MY HEAD! 🀯

Right now, it’s my best book ever! (That’s because I haven’t spoiled it by writing it yet πŸ˜‚)

When I first started going to book festivals, I would get really nervous about going up to authors and asking them to sign books and for photos etc.

I did think I’d got over it, but meeting Karin Slaughter at the weekend proves I absolutely have not πŸ˜‚

A couple of old favourites, and quite a few new-to-me authors 😁

A Crime and Thriller Festival with a Difference β€” Heather J Fitt With only a few days to go until Capital Crime in St Paul’s, London, one of the UK’s biggest crime and thriller festivals, I thought it might be nice to write a kind of β€˜Beginner’s Guide’ to the festi...

If you're heading to @capitalcrime.bsky.social this weekend, or maybe your still thinking about it, I've written a sort of Beginners Guide on my blog.

Feel free to ask me any questions!

It’s taken me much longer than it should have to get to this point - almost six months - but I am finally at the stage where I can call my manuscript a novel 😁

The end is in sight, and I have about 15,000 words left to write. (Then it’s time for draft two, but that’s a concern for another day!)

I had a brilliant time last night at @sarahpinborough.bsky.social book launch for new book We Live Here Now.

If you like creepy, haunted house books, I absolutely recommend you pick this one up!

Listening to The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley and struggling with it a bit.
I’m about a third of the way through and wondering if it’s likely to get going soon?

I’m on the hunt for recommendations again!

This time I’m looking for dark-ish vampire books. Specifically crime related. (I’ve already read The Gathering and Blood Like Mine.)

Or movies like Underworld. (Not looking for anything like Twilight.) πŸ§›β€β™€οΈ
