A new episode of The Aldocast just dropped talking about RITUAL OF FIRE, my 3rd historical thriller which won the 2024 Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Novel. Plus I sing the praises of cover designer Neil Lang @panmacmillan.bsky.social @jennybrownagency.bsky.social

Good luck to everyone doing #scotwriterpitch2025 tomorrow! Might be worth checking your chat settings, I think default for new messages is 'users I follow', change that to 'Everyone' so publishers/agents can get straight through to you.
