So in my quest to pack in as many book events as possible in one week, Saturday saw me head down to one of my childhood haunts of Irvine for the annual Tidelines festival. After a lateish night on Friday, I was only here to attend the Pitch and Punt event today. I love these …

Less than a week home from Bloody Scotland and it was more #BookStuff for me tonight as I was delighted to be chairing "An Evening with Michael J Malone in Waterstones, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. With five floors of books and bookish stuff, this one is a must visit when you are in Glasgow! And don't …

#BookReview #InServitude Heleen Kist @hkist

When Heleen Kist contacted me and asked me to review her debut novel, "In Servitude" my first reaction was to decline the request as my review schedule was through the roof, never mind my own TBR pile languishing away. However, there was something about the email, the blurb and that cover that intrigued me and …

#BookReview #EdsDead Russel D McLean @RusseldMcLean @SarabandBooks

I'm delighted to be sharing my thoughts on Russel D McLean's "Ed's Dead". I have had this on my radar for a while and was actually meant to read it a few months ago for my real-time book group. However, life got in the way but I think this read came to me just at …

#Blogtour #TheProposal from SE Lynes @SELynesAuthor @Bookouture

It is all the OMGs and Eeeeks today as I am one of the bloggers kicking off the #BlogTour for The Proposal by SE Lynes! It is fair to say that I was probably badgering Kim of Bookouture to be on this tour before the ink on the manuscript was even dry! I am a …

#BlogTour #TheTattooThief Alison Belsham @AlisonBelsham @TrapezeBooks @BloodyScotland

  I'm delighted to be sharing my review of Alison Belsham's debut novel, The Tattoo Thief. It is easy to see why this was the winning entry of Pitch Perfect at Bloody Scotland in 2016! Before I share my thoughts, here's what the official blurb says: A policeman on his first murder case A tattoo …

#BookReview #TheJanusRun from Douglas Skelton @DouglasSkelton1 @SarabandBooks @BloodyScotland @TidelinesFest

As always, I am delighted to be supporting Scottish Crime Writer extraordinaire, Douglas Skelton, in the launch of his latest novel "The Janus Run". I love Douglas' books, every single time there is something a little bit different and The Janus Run is no exception! It is dynamite! The Janus Run is published tomorrow so …

#BookReview #HeartSwarm Allan Watson @allanwatson12 @BloodyScotland @sarahhardy681 #CrimeInTheSpotlight

Allan Watson is a writer from Glasgow whose work leans towards the deliciously dark end of the fiction spectrum. In between books, he once wrote extensively for BBC Radio Scotland, churning out hundreds of comedy sketches, which some people have unkindly commented were all basically a variation of one single joke. When not writing, he …

#BlogTour #TheHangmansHold Michael Wood @MichaelHWood @KillerReads @HarperCollinsUK

  It is a huge honour to be taking part in this blog tour for Michael Wood's fourth in the Matilda Darke series, The Hangman's Hold. I've been a fan of this series since the start and like a fine wine, it simply improves as the years go on! Thanks to the author, NetGalley and …
