So sad to hear about the death of C.J. Sansom. I feel like he invented the historical crime fiction genre, and then continued to breathe fire into it with his brilliant Shardlake series. Put simply, he was the best. An inspiration to myself and many fellow writers. #CJSansom

Was sent this beauty last week. The debut novel Bonny And Read by one of my old @cbcreative friends - the very talented Julie Walker @NicerMarmot. It's the fabulous swash-buckling tale of two female pirates. And it's soooo good! #BonnyAndRead @oliviajbarber
