It’s weird but after one year DON’T TRUST FISH has finally made it on to the NY Times list at #5. Three cheers to my partner in crime @unshavedmouse.bsky.social for writing a classic of a manuscript that I had the wonderful honor of illustrating. I’m just along for the glorious ride ❤️

Finished reviewing #DontTrustFish by @unshavedmouse.bsky.social @dansantat.bsky.social for @booksforkeeps.bsky.social I laughed aloud a lot. I then shared it with my boys and we all laughed aloud even more. LOVE that Dan's given space to flex his own take on Neil's words @andersenpress.bsky.social

Hey folks! Delighted that I can reveal this terrifyingly gorgeous cover for my next novel, The Burial Tide! It's an Irish folklore influenced horror novel (if you liked Knock Knock you'll dig it) set on a remote island on the west coast of Ireland where nothing is what it seems. Out 9 September!
