This is the highest accolade awarded by the Crime Writers’ Association, for Best Published Novel.
Naturally, we are over the moon, but not surprised. We knew this one was special from the get-go, and couldn’t be prouder of Mike.
If you’ve yet to read this superb book (perfectly understandable if you live under a rock) then now is the perfect time to start. It is followed by Black Summer, which was released in June 2019, and The Curator will be out in summer 2020.
Samantha Baines’ debut children’s book Harriet Versus the Galaxy was reviewed in last week’s Lancashire Evening Post: “A hilarious and heartfelt debut novel… Full of warmth and humour, Harriet Versus the Galaxy - beautifully illustrated by deaf artist Jess Maria Flores - is a taste of friendship, empowerment, disability and one little girl’s fight to save the planet.” Samantha was also featured in The Bookseller last week in their ‘5 Questions’ feature (see photo below). |
Congratulations, Andrew!

If you love your novels with a touch of the gothic, then this bone-chiller is the one for you.
This weekend, S Magazine reviewed the book, labelling it an "eerie, emotionally supernatural tale" and also ran a short story written by Anita.
Also this weekend, Anita sat down with TalkRadio’s Penny Smith to discuss all things ghostly. To listen again, click here (09.30 - 10.00 slot, approx. 14 minutes in).
