Feels like dropping your daughter at school on her 1st day, hoping she thrives, has fun & that people are kind. It's been a tough voyage but here she is: one of the oldest Greek myths retold as historical fiction. I hope it entertains. Thank you @AriesFiction 🙏💖 @litagentdrury
Join us in wishing #Argo by @mark77knowles the happiest of publication days!
Jason and the crew of the Argo must overcome the brutal challenges hurled their way and quickly distinguish friend from foe.

A very happy publication day to a fantastic writer and a very decent chap, too! This is getting some seriously good reviews… To Pay the Ferryman: A D.I. Lomond Thriller (The D.I. Lomond Series) amzn.eu/d/dy8cI6j
Plenty of food for thought for historical fiction writers here: and very good people, both!
Last week, I did an interview with @TimHodkinson - and asked him lots of questions
We discussed his writing, the genre of historical fiction and his new book - Sword of the War God

My review of DARK FRONTIER by Matthew Harffy. This is a phenomenally tense and compelling fusion of classic Western and Victorian detective thriller. In fact, Harffy's written a great - and unique - American novel @HoZ_books @MatthewHarffy wix.to/CafC8mQ
#newblogpost
Meanwhile, I'm devouring the proof of an epic set in the late 19th C American west called 'Dark Frontier' by the annoyingly talented @MatthewHarffy. Doubtless be recommending this one to you when I'm done. And Matthew: if you kill off Jed you'll owe a stiff Scotch for the trauma!
@irichards10 This message was meant to be a reply to you.. Such is that state of my mushy brain at present...

We are SO excited to reveal the cover for #Extremophile by @IanTheGreen!
In the hothouse of climate collapse London, punk biohackers are hired by eco-terrorists to rob, murder, and save the world... 💻
Coming August 👉 geni.us/extremophile
ALT A graphic showing the cover for Extremophile alongside the pub date: 1st August 2024 ang the text: Kill the ghost, steal the flower, save the world.
Had the privilege of talking to Matthew about this (then embryonic) book over a beer and thought it sounded like a winner then. Now it also *looks* fantastic! #DarkFrontier #HoZ
DARK FRONTIER is coming! mailer.matthewharffy.com/dar…
This by @jameshaskell cheered me up no end during a life-threatening bout of manflu. Rip-roaring insight to the life of elite level athletes, on and off pitch, w/out any sanitising that can make biography so dull. If my books ever get filmed, this man is a shoe-in for Herakles!💪

#TheExploit by @DanielMScanlan is out in paperback TODAY!
FBI Special Agent Ericka Blackwood comes back from the brink as she takes on cybercriminal Dantalion… 💻

ALT A graphic showing the cover for The Exploit which has half of a women's face looking towards the camera with a lens-flare filter over the top. Also on the graphic is a review quote from Kashif Hussain that reads: 'The Exploit is an awe-striking heat-seeking missile of a thriller with a compelling narrative... Daniel Scanlan is playing in the big leagues!'
