It’s finally here! The latest installment in the Dark Dates series is published on 11 March (Kindle, with paperback about the same time). You can pre-order here AND get the bargain introductory price of £2.99 (which is a bargain – it’s a chonk of a book!) Pre-orders are great for authors, so if you are planning to buy anyway, please do!

Other ways you can help your favourite authors:

Cos, god, we’re all at bit desperate by this stage, right?

Share their posts on social media – Facebook, Twitter etc. You never know who you is watching!

Tell your friends – I get most of my sales through word-of-mouth. You are the most trusted recommendation your friends have. Spread the love!

Leave a review: even a short one. Goodreads and Amazon are the key sites but anywhere you review is fine.

Post a picture: Instagram in particular has a thriving ‘bookstagram’ community. A quick snap of your current read can help get the author into other people’s orbit.

Mark the book as ‘want to read‘ on Goodreads: This will put it in other people’s feeds, and make it look popular.

The pandemic has made me slightly rabid about sharing content by, and talking about books / plays etc that I enjoyed, because so many people are struggling (even people you think of as ‘successful’ are probably making a lot less money than you think). So if you are enjoying an author, an artist, musician or any creative – do think about adding some visible support. I promise it means the world. (Especially if it’s me, obvs.)
