Today’s questions reveals a shocking answer as to who is the world’s bestselling crime author.
Had a wonderful time talking to the fantastic @stevecavanagh.bsky.social about his latest banger One Of Us Is Guilty at Waterstones Deansgate. Be warned - It’s an absurdly good legal thriller that’ll have you missing sleep. Despite how the picture looks - no, I did not take him hostage.
Bunnymafia assemble! Starting today, to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the release of A Man With One of Those Faces and the impending release of my brand new Bunny book The Man Comes Around, we'll be sharing the video series of me chatting up a storm. Check em out. I got a new shirt!
Wonderwife and I are at the Harrogate Crime fest. Just saw the legend that is Chris @brookmyre chatting to the wonderful Mark Billingham. Chris is one of big literary heroes - I recommend everything he’s ever written - Books, short stories, shopping lists…
If you’d shown me this pic 10 years ago & told me the book I was about to publish to zero fanfare would get a special 10th anniversary limited edition hardback with beautiful sprayed edges, new intro, signed and numbered … to be honest, I’d have been more excited about the dogs but still…
So the answer to the competition question: my book The Quiet Man has been banned by California's Dept of Corrections — putting me in the company of Stephen King and George RR Martin. Thrilled, honestly. Turns out my prison break method was a little *too* convincing.
Win a signed proof of The Man Comes Around (book 9 of The Dublin Trilogy, out 27 August available to preorder now). All you've got to do is answer this: As of this week, what do Stephen King, George RR Martin and I have in common? You have until midnight Monday 15 June to guess. Good luck!
The audiobook of The Big Steal is available right now from our shop - and it’ll be available from all other vendors as soon as possible. (Cheaper on Whitehairedirishman.shop though - support your local author!)
Frankly, it feels like a weird day for Amazon UK to make a book about vampires deal of the day but well… Sacralicious!
Happy Paddy’s day. And to quote the man himself “holy shite, Caimh has a new book out, we should all buy it immediately.” There’s a reason he’s a saint - potty mouth though. (Available in paperback & e-book now - audio coming very soon) linktr.ee/BigSteal
MCM investigations are back! Or at least Brigit, Paul and Jimmy are - Phil has mysteriously disappeared. The bonds of friendship are tested like never before when the team are left with no choice but to steal Ireland’s greatest treasure to literally save their own necks. Strap in for a wild ride.
In what is surely a sign of the coming apocalypse, this festive masterpiece is now only £0.99 on Amazon in the U.K. grab it while you can, death comes to us all. www.amazon.co.uk/Ring-Bells-S...
These mean and moody boys would like you to know that Ring The Bells is out today in Germany. Published by the wonderful people at @eichbornverlag.bsky.social and translated by the incomparable Andre Mumot - have yourself a Frohe Weihnachten (yes, I did just Google that)
New episode of the Stranger Times podcast alert!! Featuring a brand new story read by the not entirely brand new but nevertheless brilliant @philmealey.bsky.social Available wherever you get your podcasts.
People of ireland - the prodigal son has returned! Aka Me! Joined in Dublin by Brendan ‘the voice’ McDonald. And we promise to have you home in time to see celebrity traitors.* *dependant on where you live. All promises not actual promises. Reality is subject to change.
Massive shoutout to Waterstones Stockport - got my own table! Fab support for a local writer. Signed copies of all my books now available and copies of the brand new stranger times newspaper.
Ring The Bells book 5 of The Stranger Times series is out today!! Available everywhere. Well, not newsagents. Or hairdressers. Almost no nail saloons. Come to think of it - book shops. Really mainly available in book shops.
I am doing a Q&A with the wonderful Jodi Taylor on Wednesday so any questions you'd like me to ask her? Also, I'm recording a Q&A with narrator extraordinaire Brendan McDonald this evening so any questions for either of us? Warning: we may have had a drink by then.
Brendan ‘the voice’ McDonald has made it through storm Amy to Manchester for the big Ring The Bells launch event tomorrow and he’s set an unassailable standard for 50th birthday pressies by getting me a Leinster jersey signed by the entire team. Genuinely over the moon.
Diller and Jackson were incredibly excited that the brand new exclusive editions of The Stranger Times newspaper arrived - and then were absolutely gutted when they remembered they couldn’t read.
