Congratulations to Ragnar Jónasson, as his book The Island (the second in the DI Hulda Hermansdóttir series) has been selected by The Sunday Times as one of their 'Books of the Year 2019'.

To celebrate the release of The Twelve Birds of Christmas by Stephen Moss, The Big Issue has published a fascinating piece written by Stephen, on the Yellowhammer bird and the irony of it lending its name to one Operation Yellowhammer (the Conservatives' No Deal plans). 

Read more here.


Samantha Baines appeared BBC Radio 4 last week to talk about her debut children's book Harriet Versus the Galaxy. 

Catch up here (34m 19s).

It's been a brilliant week for Phillipa Ashley, who shot to No.1 on the Heatseekers Chart with A Perfect Cornish Christmas. Phillipa also saw the same book, plus Summer at the Cornish Cafe​ sitting pretty in the Top Kindle 100. Congratulations, Phillipa!

The Lost Ones, the debut novel from Anita Frank, garnered more lovely reviews last week, this time from Woman magazine ("gripping"), and The Sun ("intriguingly plotted, this wartime tale is the perfect read as the nights draw in").

Two fantastic cover reveals took place last week.

The Waiting Rooms is the debut novel from Eve Smith and we are ridiculously excited for this fantastic dystopian thriller to hit shelves in May 2020. 

Other Women is the second novel from What Was Lost author, Jean Levy. A brilliantly taut domestic noir based around trust, friendships, and lies we tell ourselves.
