I’m delighted to be able to share this cover with you! It’s for the audio version of The Stolen Child, published by Audible on 6 April. It’s being narrated by Helen Johns – I love her Jane Austen rendition.

I absolutely loved this book - The Innocent Wife b I absolutely loved this book - The Innocent Wife by @amylloydwrites. Bristol-based Samantha starts writing to a prisoner on Death Row. She falls in love with him through his letters, and she’s convinced he’s innocent. They marry and he’s exonerated and released. But is Dennis guilty? He’s certainly a little scary… I loved the description of the claustrophobic, sweltering swamp town where Dennis grew up and where the newly weds move …and it’s such a tense book, I couldn’t put it down!

Great chat with @alcs_uk for their Author Matters Great chat with @alcs_uk for their Author Matters podcast - out 29 Jan. We were talking about the Royal Literary Fund’s generous grants available to writers in need. I’m slightly in denial about being in #lockdown in rainy Somerset!

Thought we might all need something to cheer us up Thought we might all need something to cheer us up... I found this quote in a wonderful book called 365 Days of Wonder by R.J. Palacio, author of the brilliant, Wonder. I'd highly recommend it, and the accompanying book of quotes.

I loved this psychological thriller by @gillymacmi I loved this psychological thriller by @gillymacmillan. Lucy has been haunted by the disappearance of her brother when she was a child, with many of the adults thinking she had something to do with what happened to him. It's mainly set in a wooded area of Bristol, and the description is wonderfully atmospheric. And as Lucy is a best-selling writer, I was even more intrigued! I highly recommend TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH - I couldn't put it down!

‘It’s notoriously more difficult to write abou ‘It’s notoriously more difficult to write about bad people than good ones. Cheer up your good boring people by making them love someone or something. Give them an interesting occupation. Good looks will help as will suffering at the hands of one of your bad people.’

Excellent writing advice from Ruth Rendell. I love writing about villains, but it’s hard to make the antagonist the protagonist and keep a reader’s sympathy. Patricia Highsmith is excellent at this.
