I'm always so grateful when writers are real like this, and reassured (and annoyed - I just wrote about Khalil's wonderful work in my little book).

And so it begins! I am very, very, very very very excited about publishing whodunnits with @ViperBooks. Also for the academics who mostly read my tweets: I can promise you two murder mysteries in the next two years that might just resonate with major aspects of your lives...
I am DELIGHTED that this news is out! #HelleandDeath is an absolute delight, and we're so pleased to welcome @OskarCoxJensen to the @ViperBooks cabal. Proofs have *just* landed so eyes open for a cover reveal tomorrow and me shouting about them endlessly... š£š£š£š£š£š£š£š£š£
