New book announcement! Hawthorne 4 is published 18/8/22...assuming I finish it in time. About 20,000 words to go. Great cover though.

So 101,088 is the magic number. The final word count of NIGHTSHADE which I finished one minute ago. 🍾🍾🍾 The longest Alex Rider yet!

Not sure what makes me happier. Being in the NY Times bestseller list or seeing the delightful new title they've given to 'Atticus Pünd Takes the Case.'

Over 750,000 UK children do not have a library at their primary school. Supporting the

Interesting coincidence. the 50,007th word of my new Bond novel is M again - but this time as in 9mm (the calibre of the weapon). Only four and a half chapters left to write!

So finally it's out. Alex is an Amazon Original. Can't wait for you to meet Otto, Brennock and the gang!
