If you want to write a book, you should start today. Today's shit. Today's got almost nothing to recommend it, except it could be the day you started writing that amazing book. And then it will always be that day. This shit day will become a great day. I'd like that quite a lot

Pro tip: if you write the first line of your first novel tonight, then another tomorrow, you'll have been working on it for two years - which is an excellent conversational nugget at parties.

We got a dog. His name's Marlowe. As in Philip Marlowe. The puppy currently can't crack wise, solve crimes, or fall for dames, but I fully expect him to be Hertfordshire's No 1 mystery-solving hound within the year. You've been warned criminals.

Here's a bit of news: my second book will be called The Devil and the Dark Water. I'm really, atrociously proud of it. I can't wait for you to read it. It's got boats; it's got spooky stuff; it's got an impossible murder; a demon; and just the right folks to sort it out.
We are SO excited to reveal the title of

Writing The Devil and the Dark Water was really hard. Soon as I started my life imploded, then kept on imploding. I'll be honest, at one point I wasn't even sure I'd finish it. Yesterday,
@thesundaytimes
named it their historical fiction book of the year. I'm so fucking proud.

Last Murder is the third book I've written, but this stage never gets any less scary. Strangers are going to read my weird murder mystery, and have opinions on it. And they may not like it. And then what? If anybody's got a huge hole I can hide in for a while, I'd appreciate it.

I'm so proud of this book. It's epic and intimate; daft until it isn't; the characters shouldn't be in a murder mystery, but have to deal with one any way. I feel like I wrote most of it by banging my head against a keyboard. Come have a read. It'll make me smile.

Hallo. I've been trying to figure out funny things to say to convince you to buy my book, but, actually, I just think you might like it. It's got a demon. It's got a boat. It's got best mates having an adventure, and it's a big, proper, locked-room mystery. Okay. Bye.

Sorry to bother you this bank holiday, but I've written a book. It's set in 1634, aboard a haunted boat. Impossible, spooky things happen, and a very clever detective has to sort it out. If you'd like to buy such a story, Forbidden Planet have a very beautiful edition. See ya.

I want to share a cutting-edge motivational technique. Today I have written 3,912 words, of which 3,911 were fucking terrible. Thankfully, I have this picture of Ada in baby jail, which is where her life is headed if I don't write better words. See, told you it was cutting edge.

Would you like to buy The Devil and the Dark Water? I know you've got a TBR pile planes have to veer around. I know you want to re-read your favourite book, but first you've got the new one by X, and there's that series you love. So many books... One more can't hurt, can it?

Oooh forgot to mention that Ada is one now. ONE! That means the warranty's up and we can't take her back. On the bright side, she's funny, very cheeky, daft as cats and extraordinarily cute. She's also excellent at pointing at things. Christ, she's one.

The 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is released in the US today! I caught Ada sneaking a read when she should have been developing motor skills. That's how good it is! Seriously, this book was a total joy to write. I loved every minute. I hope you feel the same reading it.

Guys. Paw Patrol. I can't be the only person desperate for backstory I'm never going to get, right? Ryder appears to be an eight-year-old, genius, billionaire. I assume those pups are genetically modified. And where is, you know, the rest of civilisation?

I'm on the shortlist for the HWA Debut Crown! Victory is within sight. I just need to stab, poison, push and otherwise do-away with my competition in grand historical fashion. Let the plotting commence.

The Devil and the Dark Water is shortlisted for the HWA Gold Crown Award! This is brilliant, but according to the smallprint you all have to buy it, or Historia come round and sprinkle pox on all your other books. I KNOW! History, right? Still, better safe than poxy

Apologies to everybody attending the
@Writers_Artists
masterclass on Tuesday. I've had to postpone it a week. My daughter's operation has been brought forward, so I'll be in hospital instead of telling you how I screwed up Seven Deaths, and how to avoid my mistakes. Ada says soz

I've never given Alison an easy book to edit, but I know book 3 nearly killed her and my US editor
@ShanaDrehs
. Book 4 will be about an author who kills two innocent editors by handing them a hugely ambitious, utterly insane manuscript that causes their brains to explode.
@stu_turton
I cannot wait to share the title and a cover and everything with readers soon. It is *such* a brilliantly bonkers, imaginative, clever novel with a brilliant puzzle and an amazing countdown and I love it. And so will you all, I predict.

Hideo Kojima is reading my book. This is exceptionally cool.
スチュアート・ダートンの新作「名探偵と海の悪魔(THE DEVIL AND THE DARK WATER)」を購入。背置きだったので手に取ってビックリ！美しい装丁！「イヴリン嬢は七回殺される」では緑の表紙だったが、今回は碧！あらすじは読むだけでワクワクする！ヴェルヌやクトゥルフも入ってる？優先変えて読もうか。

If you've always wanted to write a book, today's a fucking great day to start. Reckon I'll need something to read in a couple of years, and it could be whatever you begin now. How cool would that be?
