Debut Novel Announcement

Some Big News

The sun is shining through the window as I write this. Friends, my debut novel is now available to preorder.

Yesterday I announced my book, The Man on the Endless Stair, on this Instagram post. My publisher and I included a promotion: if you comment ‘preorder’ on the post, you receive an exclusive handwritten introduction, along with the first chapter.

What happened next moved me…

There were over 100 comments.

Then, this happened:

Yes, that is Val McDermid, saying she’s looking forward to reading my novel.

I worked as a bookseller for five years, and during that time I sold countless copies of Val’s books. I’ve also just finished reading her recent novel, Queen MacBeth, which blew me away. I’m filled with gratitude and deeply honoured.

The journey to this point has been tough, but I am privileged to have people around me who keep me on the path. I’m looking forward to walking further with you, friends.

The promotion is still running - if you want to receive the signed exclusive intro and first chapter: just comment ‘preorder’ on this post.

Have a lovely day, and let’s keep talking about stories.

P.S. I’m in love with the cover, designed by the wonderful Abi Salvesen.
