Gone a bit gothic for this year's book launch outfit. It's tonight!! I'm excited but also having my usual conniptions about whether enough people will show up...

Every flipping afternoon a loud, fat, hairy fly comes along and spends the last hour of my working day violently flinging himself against the window next to me. Today he has brought a friend.

Yay!

I'm looking forward to the at the Bournemouth Romance Writing Festival on the 18th October!

As a Bringer of Death most of my characters end up in toxic relationships or being murdered so I'm looking forward to get insights into the art of happily ever after...

It seems that MURDER AT THE CHRISTMAS EMPORIUM is a Kindle book deal this month - just right to ease yourself from spooky season into the season season...

That's freaky! I have a journalist friend who has the same name as a well known kidlit author and they have a mutual pact to forward on wrong emails.

Andreina Cordani @andreinacordani.bsky.social · 14d

I changed my email address about nine years ago and my friends and family STILL keep using the old one and then moaning when I don't get the message. It's enraging.

It's weird how almost all the greatest British Sitcoms are about men being forced to share their lives with other men. Porridge, Dad's Army, Rising Damp, Red Dwarf, Only Fools, even The Young Ones. Fawlty Towers maybe stands out because of the female characters.

Robin Ince @robinince.bsky.social · 20d

Fawlty Towers is relentlessly called “the greatest sitcom” in the press, yet far less love for Rising Damp which I think is a masterpiece

Damn that glitchy wifi 👀

I remember writing about it in a 'home of the future' article in the late 1990s and even then I wondered why people would want it.

Looking forward to geeking out about the golden age of crime fiction at @agathafestival.bsky.social this weekend! Come join us in lovely Torquay!

I got a starred review!!! I love "gleefully demented stocking filler" so much!

We are filled with holiday cheer over this starred review of MURDER AT THE CHRISTMAS EMPORIUM by @andreinacordani.bsky.social in Publishers Weekly! 🎄🩸

Publishers Weekly @publisherswkly.bsky.social · Sep 10

★ Holiday magic goes horribly wrong in Andreina Cordani’s delightfully eccentric follow-up to 'The Twelve Days of Murder'. This canny combination of whodunit and horror makes for a gleefully demented stocking stuffer.

They're so pretty! Looking forward to lots of photos.

I just got tagged in a post saying that my YA thriller Dead Lucky is a BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick! Excitement! Astonishment! Nagging disbelief... followed by googling.
Sadly it's not my Dead Lucky, it's @connorhutchinson.bsky.social's Congrats Connor but blimey that was an emotional rollercoaster.
