There's no doubt that The Final Betrayal is a dark, gritty & tragic read... but there's also humour because without light, there would be no dark. pre order link in bio @lorellabelliagency.bsky.social getmybook.com/bfimkp9u3j

As an author, when a reader tells you that your book has made a lasting impression on them, it really makes my wee author heart sing, because connections are everything. @lorellabelliagency.bsky.social getmybook.com/bfimkp9u3j

Absolutely chuffed to bits to see ThexFinal Betrayal at no 1 in Hot New Releases YA social & family violence. My book features 4 teen characters who are victims of social and/or family violence. Good to shine a spotlight on this. @@lorellabelliagency.bsky.social getmybook.com/bfimkp9u3j #reading

Just a few of the photos from my sweary calendar that I found most apt over the past week or so. Although, I got my jumpers out I then had to grab a t-shirt instead as the sun came out. I do love Autumn though. One of my favourite seasons. #autumn #seasons #spookyseason

It's banned books week. Don't let our voices be stifled. Read bannedbooks &wonder what those seeking to ban voices are really doing & in whose interests? My recommendations from the PEN banned books list focuses on books highlighting violence against women & girls. Why not give some of them a go?

Netgalley reviews for The Final Betrayal are coming in now and there's a few common themes running through them... they're leaving readers emotionally wrecked & I can live with that. It shows I've hit the mark with this one. @lorella@@lorellabelliagency.bsky.social getmybook.com/bfimkp9u3j

Kem's story is the most poignant of the from teen characters in The Final Betrayal. Desperate, isolated & in fear for his life he navigates an impossible situation whilst burdened with a horrific secret. My heart bleeds for him! pre order getmybook.com/bfimkp9u3j @lorellabelliagency.bsky.social

Star is troubled and it feels like the entire world is against her - except for her friend Billi. Billi's loyalty & care show Star what true love & friendship is, but can their friendship withstand one final betrayal? @lorellabelliagency.bsky.social

I love a thriller detective series to get my teeth into & Alex Smith's DCI Kett books are one of my go to reads. Although I love their delicious darkness, it's the light that hooks me. The humour, the characters' quest for justice, their goodness & the hope that brings.

The Final Betrayal is about murder, abuse, vulnerable teens & more. It is told partly from the point of view of the detective investigating Billi's d3ath. Her narrative is told in diary form. Pre order now to find out more about Billi. @lorellabelliagency.bsky.social getmybook.com/bfimkp9u3j

Calling 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

Just 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

Confessions 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!

Over 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!

These 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

I 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 📚📚❤️

This 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

There'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.
