Want to hear the bizarre and spooky inspiration behind my next thriller THE RESIDENCY? My skin crawled as I researched this one… what do you think? #amwriting by @cescamajorauthor

Once in a while you read a book that makes you want to rush back to read another chapter, then another and another and by the end you’re crying not just because you believe in Dan and Emma (I can’t bring myself to just call them ‘the characters’) and their love but because the story is about to end. Even rarer is the book you read that makes you evaluate your own life, the choices you make and the time you allocate because if you’re lucky enough to have found the one person you want to spend your life with, then it makes sense to make that the most precious time of all. Thank you @cescamajorauthor and I’m glad that when I (finally) got around to reading it, I could give it my full attention #books #love #maybenexttime by @cescamajorauthor

September! Always Back to School vibes. And it’s been a fun writing one with TV and film projects at varying stages, edits for a novel yet to be announced and lots of planning of a shiny new one. I’m also doing a lot of events over the next few weeks for THE RESIDENCY and chairing some brilliant panels - so will be sharing more dates and details soon. At the end of this week I am off to the crime festival Bloody Scotland for the first time and can’t wait to hang out with writers and readers in Stirling. Let me know if you’re going to be there - our panel is on the Saturday x #writing #working #writinglife #BloodyScotland by @cescamajorauthor

What a wonderful evening celebrating the release of this memoir AN OCEAN AND A DAY. Much like the author it is a book packed full of hope, joy, love, tears, heart and wisdom - in a stunning package! @hannahrichell lost her first husband Matt In a terrible surfing accident more than a decade ago but this memoir is so much more than that tragic day. It is a gorgeous tale of their early romance, life in noughties London and UK publishing and travels to Sydney - marriage and children. Hannah shares so many amazing memories and reflects on the shape of grief. I urge you all to buy this book, gift this book - particularly if anyone is struggling with loss - it is like a hand reaching down from the future to help you struggle back up. It is stunning. Many congrats and thank you to the wonderful @bookbaruk for hosting us so well, @bedfordsq.publishers whole team and in particular @emmapublicity for her amazing work helping this book reach more readers.

Prepare yourself for a night of belly laughs and surprises on October 13th, as three bestselling authors join Clare Mackintosh on the Get Booked sofa. Tickets are selling fast – see the link in our bio to book.

C D Major is the author of high-concept, big-hearted novels including Maybe Next Time, now being developed for the screen by Hello Sunshine and Apple. Her latest, The Residency, takes a darker turn, stranding an artist and her young daughter on a remote Scottish island where a dream residency becomes increasingly sinister.
Former criminal barrister Harriet Tyce burst onto the crime scene with the smash-hit Blood Orange and has been keeping readers deliciously unsettled ever since. Her latest, Witch Trial, puts two teenage girls in the dock for the murder of their best friend, in a fiendishly plotted courtroom thriller.
One of Britain’s biggest crime writers, M. J. Arlidge is the creator of the phenomenally successful DI Helen Grace series, beginning with Eeny Meeny. In the latest instalment, Out of the Ashes, Helen’s hunt for a fugitive takes her all the way to Rotterdam — and into a dangerous underworld where the case becomes intensely personal.

Get Booked brings the buzz of TV-style light entertainment to the stage with a fresh, fun chat show format that’s perfect for book lovers — and anyone ready to discover their next favourite read.

Author and literary host Clare Mackintosh welcomes some of the UK’s most exciting writers onto her sofa for a lively, unfiltered look at their writing lives, with plenty of twists along the way.

@cescamajorauthor’s The Residency, read by @sarahcullum_, is featured in @applebooks’s What to Read This Month, bringing listeners a chilling tale of art, isolation and psychological horror. When struggling artist Ginny accepts an all-expenses-paid residency on a remote Scottish island, unsettling rules, shifting paintings and whispered secrets make her question what she has really signed up for.

Bolinda audiobooks are available on Audible, Apple Books, Google Play, Spotify and Kobo. 💚
