Top tip is to back for every season! π
I often get asked about my research for the books Iβve written. Itβs my favourite part and thereβs always plenty of it!
Here are a few of the books I read while I was researching The Flight.
EXACTLY!

Right now, itβs my best book ever! (Thatβs because I havenβt spoiled it by writing it yet π)
I've just filled my last editing/proofreading spot for July! π₯³
I'm now taking bookings for August, so do get in touch if you want to have a chat about the services I offer.

I get you.
It used to me with the likes of Mark and Ian, but Iβm fine around them now.
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 Iβd got over it, but meeting Karin Slaughter at the weekend proves I absolutely have not π
My @capitalcrime.bsky.social book haul!
A couple of old favourites, and quite a few new-to-me authors π

Must try harder, Chris!
Itβs 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 π
The end is in sight, and I have about 15,000 words left to write. (Then itβs time for draft two, but thatβs a concern for another day!)
In which case - you are going to LOVE this book!

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.
Iβm about a third of the way through and wondering if itβs likely to get going soon?
Oo! Thanks for the tip!

This time Iβm looking for dark-ish vampire books. Specifically crime related. (Iβve already read The Gathering and Blood Like Mine.)
Or movies like Underworld. (Not looking for anything like Twilight.) π§ββοΈ
Off again!
This time Iβm head to Cambridge to help launch National Crime Reading Month at Bodies in the Bookshop π€
