It's out! Clarke and Fairchild spy thrillers Book Six, an elaborate caper set in an Italian summer heatwave. Some great promotions on the rest of the series too. Thanks to @rhinobytes_uk for the fab cover! books2read.com/theshow?store…
Finished first draft of book 6. Thought it was like pulling teeth, painfully slow and result too short. Then I looked back at how long it took me to write all my other first drafts and how long they were. Remarkably consistent. Pulling teeth every time, then! #amwriting

Dead excited that my next book will launch next week. Spies Without Borders, Book 5 in the Clarke and Fairchild series, set mainly in Budapest. Fab cover below! #amwriting #indiewriter
The first time I went somewhere purely to research a book. It was a holiday as well though. Such a privilege, so glad I was able to. facebook.com/tmparrisauthor/…
I see comma-splice sentences all the time. I read them in books. I even see them in adverts. Are they considered acceptable now? Because I don't like 'em, they sound like a stream of consciousness (though they're okay in tweets). #amwriting #indieauthor

Launch week for me! Proud to have four novels now in my series. The latest is set in Japan - The Secret Meaning of Blossom. #amwriting #indieauthor books2read.com/secretmeaning…
Comforting that Mick Herron does absolutely no research for his novels and his spy world creations all derive from what's in the public domain. That's what it's about, building a credible world through the writing @hildascrime

Also, as a UK taxpayer, quite glad that that probably means there's no such thing as a graveyard in North London just for burying spies. @hildascrime
So it's the job of women to provide men with the sex they want so that they don't go around shooting people? A deeply ingrained and selfish sense of entitlement caused this, and is responsible for the deaths of the 2 women per week who are killed by their partners or ex partners.

Spent a few precious minutes deciding on best usage of bathroom / washroom / toilet / loo. Have decided the room is the toilet and the thing itself the toilet or the loo. Google says a toilet room is called a WC in UK but I don't think so. On signs maybe. #amwritingfiction
Writerly confession: reading my own book out loud is boring! Not the novel, the reading out loud part. But it makes me notice repeated words that have escaped all previous edits, so worth it sadly #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Am being invited by Amazon to review my own book. I wonder what would happen if I did! #amwriting

We're proud of the lifesaving work our volunteers do in the Channel – we make no apology for it. Those we rescue are vulnerable people in danger & distress. Each of them is someone’s father, mother, son or daughter - every life is precious. This is why we launch:
