Wow, the Jeffrey Flint books are reissued! Fab ebook box set at £1.99 for all five. If you're into archaeology and crime, and quite like a bit of 90s nostalgia too, they're the perfect read.
Flint digs again! @lume_books have re-released my #Archaeology #mystery series box set, including new author's notes on the historical setting of each book. @The_CWA geni.us/flint-murder-books-f…
Absolutely fabulous book; I loved it. The cover is gorgeous, but it isn't the best bit!

Thrilled to be quoted by the prestigious W&AYB from an article they commissioned from me for the 2024 edition. So busy editing and working @The_CWA I only just spotted it!
In this exclusive extract, editor @DeaWriter highlights some of the pitfalls to be alert to as you edit your writing.

Good news from Sarah-Clare! A super writer and a lovely person, so well worth checking out.
Delighted to discover that my poetry pamphlet cache-cache is featured in the @PoetryBookSoc Winter 2022 Selections... poetrybooks.co.uk/collection…
Sarah-Clare Conlon is always worth listening to. And a live event at Lancaster Castle courtroom! Fabulous.
Next Wednesday, come and hear me talk lighthouses and shipwrecks, in a castle, with free refreshments. This lovely illustration of Plover Scar was created for my piece in the #LancashireStories anthology by Rachel Crawshaw. Tickets here, fer nowt an all... eventbrite.co.uk/e/lancashir…
Really hope Alan Garner wins the @TheBookerPrizes. The books of his that I read as a child then a teenager had a huge impact on me. I know all the other writers are amazing, but personally, in my gut... please let it be Alan.
For crime-fiction history aficionados, the magnum opus you've been waiting for. And a third off! (Still as heavy though.)
The Life of Crime is still 33% off on Amazon UK, but not for much longer: tinyurl.com/2hpzd2bc. And maybe a book that earns plaudits from both the Daily Mail and the Morning Star, not to mention the 'i' and the Spectator, can truly claim to be wide-ranging in its appeal 😀
Thank you! Some cracking stories from wonderful authors @The_CWA. My other favourites were by @ChrissiePoulson, Chris Simms, L C Tyler, @AndrewJRTaylor and @CathStaincliffe
Super book from @The_CWA, with stories from great writers such as @medwardsbooks and @DeaWriter, @kateellisauthor and @Jasonthriller.

I have just lost my wedding ring - in Buxton Derbyshire - just after giving a talk this afternoon - dropped I think on St John’s rd - if anyone finds it I would be so grateful - it is an old gold ring with a cross on the face. V embarrassed + grateful for RTs.

On the basis you write a nice review and buy the other books in the series. That's the plan, let's see how it works.
