Do You Judge a Book by its … Author Photograph?

Here’s a task for you: get five or so hardback books and look at the author photographs in the back. How many writers are smiling? How many look pensive? Which of them would influence what you think about the book? Continue reading →

On Saturday 25th July I’ll be @thegreenbookshop in Herne Bay, Kent, talking about Hunger and Thirst as part of @hernebayfest. And I’d love it if you can join me. Tickets via the book shop bio. Hope to see you there! If you’re in southern England at the moment or various other places in the world, you might be feeling the heat. It can be hard to escape the sun but here’s where fiction can help. If you can’t get to an actual forest or wood, then reading a story set in one is the next best thing. Even better is taking your chosen forest-set novel and reading it in the shade of the trees. Throwback Thursday to August 2022 when I was on stage @edbookfest with a giant Miriam Toews. I was being interviewed by @leerandall20 about Unsettled Ground which had won the Costa novella prize the previous year. The Pleasure Trap by Emelie Olsson is published by @harpercollins in January 2027. It’s not my usual read, but it is a fun, naughty, pleasure. Lots of sex, lots of rich people doing bad but sexy things, a few not so rich people being led astray to have sex with people they maybe shouldn’t, and did I mention the sex? Excellent entertainment and does what it sets out to do extremely well. Subscribe to my (free) newsletter and enter a giveaway to win a German edition of The Memory of Animals published by @kjonaverlag, or a Russian edition of Unsettled Ground published by @sindbad_publishers. It’s been just over two months since Hunger and Thirst was published in the UK and I’m delighted with how it’s gone. I’ve been on a UK book tour, with a few more events to come, I’ve met brilliant book sellers, wonderful authors and of course fantastic and enthusiastic readers. Kingfisher by @rozeamee. Messily human and hard to pin down. For such a short book Kingfisher covers a lot of ground: polyamory, the repercussions of child abuse, death, grief, love, illness, writing a novel and getting it published, sex. Here are a few novels that I’ve been sent, bought, and found. Are there any here that you have your eye on? Or let me know which you’ve read and loved, and which you recommend I should pick up first. Here are the opening lines from all six of my novels. Let me know in the comments below which you prefer and why.
