Ahead of the publication of Lucky Ghost, Hodder are giving away 50 review copies through a Goodreads giveaway. You can enter here.

Advance review copies of my second full-length novel, Lucky Ghost, are in. And they're hauntingly beautiful. 

Exciting news. In a moment of #MayMadness, Amazon is selling Sockpuppet, my riotous thriller for the internet age, for just 99p. 

THIS OFFER IS NOW CLOSED. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART.

To celebrate April Fool's Day 2017, I'm giving away major swag to anyone who buys my explosive thriller about an infamous hoaxer. Fallen Angel is available for just 99p.

In March, I guested on Bibi Lynch’s Soho Radio show, Bibi Does Soho. I had the best fun. We talked Sockpuppet, social media misdemeanours, and the geological half-life of Donald Trump's hair.

2016 begins with a bang for me, as the pulse-pounding covers to two of my books are unveiled. First, the impossible-to-ignore design for the paperback edition of Sockpuppet, which is published in the UK on 26 January.

This week ShortList Magazine picked Sockpuppet as the first in its list of five 'ways to avoid hay fever'.

Today Amazon picked Fallen Angel as their featured fiction title on the Kindle Singles programme. This novella-length prequel to Sockpuppet is available as an e-book only.

We've been keeping this one under wraps. As part of the build-up to the publication of Sockpuppet, Hodder & Stoughton have unveiled Fallen Angel, a novella-length prequel.

I was thrilled to see Sockpuppet included in Buzzfeed UK's list of 31 Brilliant Books That You really Need to Read This Spring.

I recently had a chat on the Prime Writers website, with ace political fiction writer Terry Stiastny. We talked about why we're so obsessed in our writing by politics and tech.
