Sorry tweeps! I got the date wrong for the 50th ep of #Vera - the adaptation of my book The Darkest Evening. It'll be shown on Feb 19th. But wonderfully filmed and well worth waiting for.

Lovers of #Vera , I'm delighted that the 50th anniversary ep on Sunday is an adaptation of my book The Darkest Evening. I've had sneak preview and love it. It's stormy and gothic and we find out more about Hector's awful family.

Last night at uni, I did something I was very scared of and I CONQUERED it!! 😁😁😁😁 My fear of public speaking appears to be no more… delighted with my presentation on crime fiction! Smashed my engagement mark I think!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 #WritingCommunity

I'm on the hunt for some really gripping #crime and #thriller ideas with unreliable characters, claustrophobic settings and twisted murders. Some fantastic pitches taking place today #JWPitchFestival
