Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Calling all Scottish folk... I need a bit of help here. I'm doing some edits for my Scottish series and Ive used the word pus, as in 'shut yer pus.' I want to spell it pus, but my editor thinks puss. How would you spell it to make it sound right? #scotland #scottish #booktok 000
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Just a crimewriter taking some time out to slow down and connect with her surroundings in Whitby. Sights, sounds, texture, and sun's warmth on my skin ... all of this is an intentional grounding exercise for me. #groundingtechniques #mentalhealth 010
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Confessions of a crime author! Editors are ace! Mine told me I'd overused the word Just. So, I found them all, using the Control H key. Unfortunately, I managed to delete them all resulting in 'adjust', justification, Unjust & more without the Just. It was spotted & rectified! 001
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I love a good serial k1ll3r novel and these are 5 of my recommendations for deliciously, wonderfully depraved women serial killers #readingcommunity 000
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 27/09/2026There's only one thing better than writing or reading books and that's being on a panel with awesome authors at @prestoncrimefictionfestival @@simonmccleaveauthor @lesleykarawriter @becklewiswrites 021
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Living my best life ... thrilled to host these 3 great authors on The Architect of the Crime panel today @Preston Crime Fiction Festival @benbruce @emmastyles.bsky.social @davidbeckler.bsky.social What a fascinating discussion about building worlds, creating obstacles & more. 132

It's an honour to host authors on a panel @benbruceauthor @DEBeckler @emmastylesauthor A privilege to be on a panel with authors too @simon_mccleave @lesleykarawriter @prestoncrimefiction is fresh, bold & joyful.

Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Over the years, I've learned to become a placator: somone who often defers to others & tries to take up less space in the world and that's something I'm working very hard to correct. I want to banish the shackles of my imposter syndrome & my inferiority complex and shine. Let's do it together! 010
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Back in Harrogate for first time since Theakstons Crime in July for Raworths Salon North and look who else is heading back this way... Vaseem Khan 010
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Absolutely brilliant time at Bloody Scotland. Chats with old friends and new, blasts from the past, great panels, brilliant books, massive TBR pile. Can't wait to do it all again next year. 000
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Just a few of the books that grabbed my attention at Bloody Scotland. Wonder how many I'll be tempted to buy!!! Which would you buy? #bookrecommendation 020
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Had such an amazing time at Bloody Scotland this year. Special chats, lovely friends, great panels, tearful reunions, happiness overload, but now it's time to journey back to Yorkshire. see you next year! 020
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I love a mystery, so when this one presented itself to me I was hooked! #readingcommunity❤❤❤ 000
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 18/09/2026If you see me around at Bloody Scotland today and you like crime thrillers set in Scotland, I might have a wee treat for you. #scotland #booklover #bookish 000
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Day 1 of @BloodyScotland & I'm up bright and early. Can't wait to head out and see everyone, do crime booky things, chat books, go to panels & have fun! Plus did you see those Tartan curtains in my room? Nothing says Scotland like Tartan curtains! #readingcommunity #readersofìnstagram #scotland 000
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 17/09/2026For one week only the first three Gus books are on offer in one handy box set. 002
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 15/09/2026These are pretty damn scary ... flesh eating giants, witches, curses, poison, chase scenes, high stakes ... and that's only the two at the front! No wonder crime fiction is so popular! Which fairy tale scared you the most as a child? #readersoftiktok 020
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I think readers have an unrealistic expectation that authors have a handle on their plotting. I'm here to dispel that myth! Heres just one catch my editor made before I made a very public arse of myself #readingcommunity 📚📚❤️ 000
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 14/09/2026This author loves singing (though resembles a distressed cat when doing so) & loves dancing (not so hot on the coordination) but who cares when it's loud, cheery & familiar? An uplifting performance of scenes & songs from Mamma Mia. Total stress buster #mammamia #stressbuster 010
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 13/09/2026There's a Romeo & Juliet theme in The Final Betrayal so I've been seeking out films, plays, books with that theme.The play The Trial of Romeo Oscar was a unique, provocative & beautifully acted take on the story. It shows love stories & crime stories are never far apart. 000
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Yesterday, we went to Scarborough Pride and it was fabulous. Nothing is more life affirming than an event filled with love, celebration, affirmation, joy, laughter, all generations, acceptance and joy. We loved every minute! #loveislove #loveislove🏳️🌈 #pride 010
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Well at last it's happened... someone 'calling Nilesh to order' ... and I have to say I wish them luck. I've been attempting to do it for 38 years to no avail 🤣😂😂 000
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I needed this. Time to unwind, time to think, to breathe, to compose dastardly plot twists, to connect, chill, eat & drink 001
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Yesterday, in Scarborough. I wrote over 1000 words and then I took some down time to blow the cobwebs away, refocus my mind and empty my bucket of some of the stress that had accumulated during the week #worklife #selfcare 010
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 12/09/2026This will be quite a panel. I'm really looking forward to it. 032
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Who says you can't have a tragic teen romance in a crime thriller? I'm here to prove you wrong! #crimethrillerbooks #yabooktok 000
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 11/09/2026The stakes are never higher in a thriller novel than when characters face loss and in The Final Betrayal many of the characters suffer losses... of innocence, a partner, a child, hope and trust among others. @lorellabelliagency.bsky.social #readingcommunity❤❤❤ 000
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Preston Crime Fiction Festival is happening 25 - 27th Sept. I'm chairing The Architect of The Crime panel and am on The Burden of Proof one too.

Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Sometimes taking time out is all you need to recharge your batteries. As a writer I'm finding I need that more and more these days. Anyone else feel like that? #mentalhealth 000

Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I started a new book last week. It's a standalone. I'm a pantser & look forward to seeing where it'll go. Today, I reminded myself that writing is not a race & as I had writer's burnout last year, I'm proud I gave myself that advice. Tell me about your writing struggles & advice you give yourself? 000

Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I visit a lot of graveyards because I find they bring me peace. In an uncertain world there's something very reassuring about witnessing the circle of life in the flesh. 010
Liz Mistry @lizmistry.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I've got a whole load of new followers this week. Thanks so much, you know how to make a crime author happy. Anyway thought it was time to tell you a little bit about me. 010
