Such a great event last night in Lincoln with Lindum Books, superbly chaired by @drtimrideout.bsky.social! Really enjoyed hearing people's stories about family members in Bomber Command, and humbled as ever that anyone at all would come out to hear me talk about the book!
Off to Lincoln tomorrow for an event with Lindum Books, chaired by @drtimrideout.bsky.social, where we'll be talking about my new novel Night Fire. Very much looking forward to it!
Pleased to have an extract of Night Fire in today's issue of Scotland on Sunday

One week to go until Night Fire is published! I've heard rumours that it might already be on the shelves in all/some good bookshops ...
The last push for my second novel, Night Fire, before it's published on the 23rd April ... Retweets/skeets, preorders, even adding to Goodreads - every little helps! linktr.ee/richstrach
The first review is in for Night Fire, from Unseen Histories... Absolutely delighted with this! www.unseenhistories.com/new-history-...
The moment of truth! Author copies of Night Fire arrived today, it's always a huge thrill to see the finished article. Just look at that gorgeous cover!
Enjoyed being interviewed by @thelistuk.bsky.social about my new novel, Night Fire, published in only three weeks!
Not long now... Night Fire, my second novel, published 23 April!
Four weeks until my second novel is published! Night Fire is a psychological ghost story set during World War II, on a RAF Bomber Command airfield in Lincoln. Perfect for readers of Alice Winn, Sarah Waters, Andrew Michael Hurley and Andrew Miller. Preorder links here! linktr.ee/richstrach
Duck at the harbour this morning, seemingly having laid an egg on the wall.
