Freddie Mercury: One night when I was about six I couldn’t sleep so I went downstairs, where I found my parents watching the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. They let me stay up and watch the whole thing (a big treat), and I fell in love...

The Famous Five: Adventures, picnics, secret tunnels, hidden rooms, long-lost treasure... I couldn’t get enough.

Oh yeah, totally not another read through for structural issues at copy edit - yes! That would be brutal. Just a read through for typos, continuity etc as there's always something!

Ooh this is interesting! So at what stages DO you do a full readthrough? I didn't do one after my copy edits, but I DID do one after my proofread, and I'm glad I did because I caught quite a bit.

A boy disappeared. Three years later, he came back. But he wasn’t who he said he was.

In 1994, 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay vanished from his Texas neighbourhood. No witnesses. No answers.

Three years later, police called with shocking news. Nicholas had been found. Alive. In Spain.

The family rushed to meet him. They cried. They hugged him. They took him home.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

That question is at the heart of my new thriller. When a girl goes missing, a stranger arrives, claiming to be her.

If this story gave you chills, you’ll want to read Not My Sister: a psychological thriller about grief, lies, and the danger of letting the wrong person in.

He wasn’t Nicholas Barclay. He was Frédéric Bourdin. A 23-year-old French con artist. And this wasn’t his first impersonation.

But things didn’t add up. His accent was wrong. His eye colour had changed. He didn’t recognise people he should.

So why did the family accept him? Were they fooled… or did they need him to be real?

The truth eventually came out. But the real mystery remains: How far will people go to protect the story they want to believe?

My regular reminder that when a company says they don't have a budget, they mean they don't have a budget FOR YOU. They most certainly will be paying for other people and services.

🚨Calling all writers !🚨 Writing is hard and lonely and scary! And though there are lots of great editorial services something that’s missing is the ability just to chat things through with someone. Plotting issues, publishing advice, how to start writing a book 1/2

Somehow I've managed to arrange my life so that my car insurance, home insurance and road tax all need to be arranged and paid at the same time. It's an admin nightmare but at least it all gets done at once, I suppose?

The first review for The Bride's Secret is up on @netgalley.bsky.social and it's a five-star so I'm delighted 😀. Does it sound like your kind of book? Pre-order here: geni.us/B0DZZ3GX49au...

Screenshot of a book review:
From the moment I picked this book up, I was hooked. I had a hard time putting it down. I even stayed up late reading and I thought I had the twist figured out but the author surprised me multiple times.

I’d highly recommend this book to anybody who loves thriller books especially ones that have twists that make you scream , “WHAT?!”

The story was a real good one, you didn’t know what was happening due to the twists making it so fast- paced I loved it!

I just LOVE books when they make you think, and then you change your mind on the characters my favourite one was Maeve originally then it switched again! The ending was one word: WOW!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me!

I'm listening to the audiobook of The Lost Passenger by @franquinn.bsky.social and it's brilliant! A wonderful historical fiction novel about a woman who survives the sinking of the Titanic and grasps an opportunity to start a new life. Highly recommended! Fantastic narrators too.

What things do you do so regularly that they're automatic, but to others they might seem strange? Mine are: 1) I always "cheers" my first sip of an alcoholic drink. 2) I try to get a little bit of everything onto my fork so each mouthful contains my whole plate
