January has been a bit rubbish but here’s some good news that I’m so happy to share. I’ve signed another contract with my brilliant publisher @hodderfiction So, we’ll be working on books 3 and 4 over the next couple of years, to be published 2027/8. I’ve written a Substack all about it too.

THE SECOND HOME (May 28th - please pre-order🙏🏻). A second book, a body of work. I’m so grateful I can do this again and really hope people enjoy this one. P.S. it’s set during an August bank holiday heatwave — a reminder that warmer, brighter days are coming!!! ☀️ #psychologicalthriller #novel

Announcing my favourite books of 2025! It’s been a hard year for most writers and seeing all the ‘books of the year’ lists can be a bit depressing if you’re not on them. But you are all my books of the year, regardless of whether you’ve got an agent or got published. It’s a random business.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 331: Not everyone will love you. Live with it. All writers do. All you can do is your best, most honest work, and send it out into the world in the hope that it connects with someone. What they see in it after that is often more about them than it is about you...

As some of you will know, I've been working on book about punk - part teenage diary, part serious reflections on the times, from the NF to Peter Sutcliffe. Here's a podcast interview about it, which you may like to listen to / like / share / whatever... CC x open.spotify.com/episode/3LpY...

So great to chat on @theconversation.bsky.social with @nadinematheson.com We talked about those moments in life that offer up inspiration to novelists, the motivation behind my debut novel, THE FAMILY AT NO.23 and why reading and writing psychological fiction is so enjoyable and satisfying.

Unsolicited writing advice from someone who's just regained their writing mojo: Stop worrying about the market. Just write something you think is fascinating. If you can, distance yourself from people who sap your confidence about your writing and yourself. Celebrate every achievement.

I did love it! More fantastic psych suspense by @kathrynsharman@bsky.social coming your way some time next year. It’s extremely satisfying when book 2 is just as good as book 1. #TheFamilyatNo.23 #Notsurewhatbook2iscalledyet

Any industry eliminating entry level roles where new, younger employees learn on the job before promotion to more advanced, decision-making roles is sawing through the branch it's sitting on.

I’m done. I’ve finished all my edits on my debut novel THE FAMILY AT NO.23. I can do no more. Weird feeling: relieved, anxious and a little sad. But so ready to return to book 2.
