The French translation of Alpha Night is now out!!
I've posted this on my Instagram, but I thought you all might enjoy it too!
In 2020 I learned to make miniatures and I am now addicted. This bookshop was the first one I did - and because there was no way I could resist, I added a few *ahem* of my books in there. See how many you can spot! (Special shout out to my partner in crime, Ashwini, who resized the covers for me!)
p.s. The final image of the completed miniature on a bookshelf is for scale, to show you its tiny size. ❤
To all of you who have been waiting for the UK print edition of Quiet in Her Bones, it's now out!! Thank you so much for your patience, and I hope you love this piece of New Zealand noir.
Quiet in Her Bones, my thriller set in an exclusive cul-de-sac surrounded by an ancient forest, is now out!!
ALT text: 1. Aerial view looking down into a cul-de-sac surrounded by forest, with text: Welcome to the Cul-de-sac. It used to be full of life...until one of their own...DISAPPEARED.
2. Background of ferns washed in red, with text: What happened to Nina Rai?
3. Image of Quiet In Her Bones hardcover with text: On Sale Now.
NEWS!! The international ebook and audiobook editions of Quiet in Her Bones are now out!! US/Canada copies should start downloading as soon as it turns Feb 23rd for you!
Print Editions out in Australia and NZ, and will be out in North America on the 23rd!! Delayed by a week in the UK due to difficult circumstances on the ground for the printing and warehouse staff there.
I hope you find yourself falling into this quietly dark story about a woman who vanished ten years ago, and has now been found in the tangled forest only a short distance from her home...still dressed in the clothes she was wearing that night. What happened to Nina Rai? Someone in her exclusive cul-de-sac knows the truth...
Thank you for all your support as I dive once more into a new genre!
UK folks: The print edition of Quiet in Her Bones has been delayed by a week. The ebook and audiobook will publish on the original release date of Feb 23rd, but unfortunately, the current situation on the ground has caused problems for the printing and warehouse staff. As a result, the print edition will release on March 4th.
This only affects the UK. Other regions, like Australia and NZ, have their own local warehouses, so unless anything changes for us, the books should ship as usual.
I know you'll all understand - everyone has been working as hard as humanly possible to get the book out on time, but we have to put their health first.
Thank you for your patience, and for your support of my second foray into thrillers!

It's our first Friday Book Club for 2021! What are you reading and loving this week?
One of the things I'm doing over the holidays is rearranging my bookshelves - and it got me to thinking about the books that are permanent fixtures on those shelves, the keepers and rereads that I return to again and again.
These are my comfort reads, even though the story within the pages isn't always gentle or comfortable! Do you reread? If so, what are the books you return to over and over again? Any idea of your oldest keeper book? ❤️
It's our final Friday Book Club for 2020! What reads are you loving this week, and which ones did you enjoy the most this year?
2020 has definitely been a roller coaster of a year! 🎢 Tell me which acts of kindness (whether given or received) have made your life a little brighter this year. 💕

In this gripping thriller set in New Zealand, New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh takes you into the twisted world of an exclusive cul-de-sac located on the edge of a sprawling forest.
My mother vanished ten years ago.
So did a quarter of a million dollars in cash.
Thief. Bitch. Criminal.
Now, she’s back.
Her bones clothed in scarlet silk.
When socialite Nina Rai disappeared without a trace, everyone wrote it off as another trophy wife tired of her wealthy husband. But now her bones have turned up in the shadowed green of the forest that surrounds her elite neighborhood, a haven of privilege and secrets that’s housed the same influential families for decades.
The rich live here, along with those whose job it is to make their lives easier. And somebody knows what happened to Nina one rainy night ten years ago. Her son Aarav heard a chilling scream that night, and he’s determined to uncover the ugly truth that lives beneath the moneyed elegance…but no one is ready for the murderous secrets about to crawl out of the dark.
Even the dead aren’t allowed to break the rules in this cul-de-sac.
