Some exciting news. Little Secrets has been longlisted for the CWA Whodunnit Dagger Award 2026! Amazing anyway, but particularly because I’m self-published. No agent. No publisher. Just me! I still can’t believe it!

Today, Little Secrets and I visited the Prison Nursing Unlocked exhibition at the Royal College of Nursing– my new crime novel has a 1990s prison nurse at the heart of it, so it’s perfect timing. A really interesting exhibition and great to see some real prison-nurse items mentioned in my book.

Buy Little Secrets to get you through Halloween! You’ll be too busy reading to notice the ghosts & ghouls. 😝 ‘A darkly atmospheric and intricately layered mystery that blurs the lines between past and present, guilt and innocence.’ Kindle & paperback – mybook.to/LittleSecret...

‘There is a real emotional depth and moral complexity to this novel. Instead of relying solely on twists, the author looks at the human cost of secrets—how guilt, fear, and ambition can damage even the most ordinary lives.’ Thank you @annerandomthings.bsky.social for this fabulous review!!

Stephen Cox - genial guy with grey beard and hair, holding copies of The Crooked Medium's Guide to Murder. Outdoors, trees in background. Book description A striking book cover with the title and author name dominating.
A rich dark blue background, and a touch of mist. The text appears in gold in a gold rectangular frame, the font is old fashioned implying C19th century. The frame has three rondels or cameos each containing a picture. Top right is a golden bee brooch with the body and one wing streaked with red blood. Middle left is foxgloves, spires of small bell flowers in pink, white and purple. Bottom right is a dark brown medicine bottle, with a pale label. The word LAUDANUM is just visible.
There are pink highlights on some of the letters.
Taken together it is bold, mysterious, and Victorian.

I no longer have an agent (long story, not my fault nor my lovely ex-agent’s fault). Yet my crime novel was ready for publisher submissions. When the universe works against you, you have to dig your own path. Little Secrets is on its way. Time to set my prison book free myself!

My 2 crime novels are having a Kindle sale (99p/99c) in the UK & USA this week. I just wish I knew how to find new readers – social media used to be the place to be but now it’s all tumbleweed. Whispers … ‘Anyone want to buy a bargain Kindle read (one of my books even won a crime writing award)?’

Victoria Goldman @victoriagoldman.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

It’s 'Read an ebook week’. So I’m trying to encourage people to buy The Redeemer & The Associate on Kindle as my books are just 99p/99c this week (pure coincidence - honestly). Reaching new readers is not an easy task though! Especially with fractured social media. But I haven’t given up yet.
