Not only did I scream loudly and drag my youngest children off a train when I spotted a poster for my book, I committed the heinous act of speaking to a random stranger and asking him to take our photo 😱 Luckily we all survived the humiliation but we can never speak of it again

Beautiful Star passed away this morning. We are devastated because we loved him so much but we’re so grateful for the years we had with him and the lessons he taught us. No matter what happened, his tail never stopped wagging. Shine bright like a Star ⭐️ 💛

Tapping into the trauma of school runs, @JoWallaceAuthor has skillfully weaved tragedy and dark comedy together to create a story that makes you laugh, makes you cry and makes you want to kill most of the PTA mums. Brilliant! #TheDeadFriendProject @ViperBooks

Sending a new book out is as scary as hearing the Jaws theme tune whilst going for a little swim 😬 But posts like this make me more confident about getting back into the water. Thank you @LeonoraNattrass - you total legend 😘

If you're in the mood for a proper murder mystery 🔎, lurking among the spilled wine, gossip and scraped knees of urban domesticity, put The Dead Friend Project on your list. It's out Thursday from @JoWallaceAuthor and @ViperBooks and we're tipping it.

A baby scan photo posted through the letterbox … a troubling new girl at work. Coincidence? Or a warning of something sinister about to unfold? This is a thoroughly enjoyable mystery by @AlisonStockham - weaving its way through secrets, paranoia and fear 👏👏

Murder on a gridlocked motorway! (Traffic) jam packed with mystery, humour, unforgettable characters and a killer who could be sitting in the car next to yours, there are plenty of twists and turns on this stretch of road! Page-turning brilliance @Jo_Furniss 👏👏 out July 2024

After 3 failed surgeries and the removal of his entire hip, my brilliant dog is finally back in his favourite park - a place I never thought he’d see again. And through it all, his tail never stopped wagging and he never came close to giving up. Such a happy day! #dogsarefamily
