Thank you to everyone who sent me a birthday messa

Thank you to everyone who sent me a birthday message the other day! I was overwhelmed by so many incredibly thoughtful messages that I couldn’t respond to all of them! You guys are all so wonderful. 🥰

A lot of you asked what books I received for my birthday so here are the four that already arrived! There are two more on the horizon that haven’t released yet and I’m so excited! (Thriller fans can probably guess which ones they are! 😉)

I started reading FALLING by T.J. Newman the other day and it is so intense. Honestly I might never get on an airplane ever again. This book is no joke horrifying from the very first page. But I love the writing style and can’t wait to find out how it ends! ✈️

As for my own book I’m deep in the editing stage right now and have made the decision to—GASP!—change the ending. So fingers crossed I can pull it off before the deadline next week! 👩🏻‍💻

And my TBR is completely out of control. I’ll be posting another pic this week of all the books I planned to read in June that I didn’t get to. Oh well! There’s always July! 📚

What’s everyone else reading? 📖

Happy Publication Day @paulgitsham 🥳

I love a good standalone novel, but deep down I’m a sucker for a series. When it comes to reading them, however, I’m not exactly linear. (I like to read out of order!) One of my favorite aspects of the crime genre is that most of the time you can pick a book up regardless of where it falls in the series and read it on its own. That’s the masterful task of crime authors, especially those who write police procedurals. That delicate balancing act between satisfying the readers who have been there from the beginning whilst enticing new readers. 📚

OUT OF SIGHT, Book 7 in Paul Gitsham’s DCI Warren Jones series fulfilled those expectations perfectly. It was my first investigation with Jones and his police team, but it certainly won’t be the last! 👮🏻‍♂️

This novel was so tightly plotted, intricately woven, and incredibly authentic in its detail and realism that I had to remind myself it was fiction. A police procedural that is both clever and believable. Gitsham’s characters and story are as true to life as they come.

Looking for a good crime read that’ll keep you guessing? Give OUT OF SIGHT a try. Out today from @hqstories 🎉

I’d almost forgotten what blue skies looked like

I’d almost forgotten what blue skies looked like. ☀️

Today I’d planned to write a new scene for book two that’ll help tie together my structural edits, but my brain told me to rest. So that’s what I’m doing instead. Normally I’m really bad at listening to my body when it says to step away from work, but something I’ve learned from this new novel is that you need days off. When I walk away from writing for a day or two I come back to it refreshed and motivated. And often some of those problems I couldn’t figure out because I was working too hard end up resolving themselves.

So today is for recharging. I took a hike in the morning and now I’m reading out in the sunshine. Later I’m going to eat dinner outside listening to the birds. And then I’m going to zoom with some writing friends. Then I might watch a movie. 🌲

What are you doing to relax today? 💆🏻‍♀️

Gaby Darin is back with her most challenging case

Gaby Darin is back with her most challenging case yet!⁣ 🕵🏻‍♀️
⁣
If you haven’t been reading this engaging crime series by author @scribblerjb then you’re missing out! Set in Wales, Jenny explores some of the darker aspects of seaside life with a protagonist that is so relatable I feel as though she’s an old friend.⁣
⁣
The newest addition in the series is 𝘓𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘴, a frightening edge-of-your-seat thriller about a missing girl and a gruesome finding by the local undertaker. Acting DI Gaby Darin must follow the conflicting evidence of the two cases and uncover the mystery before it’s too late. But with complications at work and a new relationship struggling to find its feet, solving a case this sinister won’t be easy.⁣
⁣
𝘓𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘴 is an engaging, fast-paced read that hooked me from the very start. A compelling and heart-wrenching story that begins with every parent’s worst nightmare and ratchets up the tension on each subsequent page. O’Brien’s incredible strength as a writer lies in her ability to create vivid, realistic relationships and explore the beautiful but eerie setting she knows so well. Another chilling addition to a great series that stands strong on its own!⁣
⁣
Out in ebook on 21 May 2021 from @hqstories 📚 This is one you don’t want to miss!⁣

(Really loved this story. And, as you can see, Watson enjoyed it too! 🐾🐾)
