Once again I didn't win the Nobel Prize for Literature. But you could ease my crushing disappointment by buying my new book. You won't regret it, honest.😊

Thank you, but no.

I'm growing a beard (I had one for a few weeks back in 2015) and it's giving me a shock. When I glance in the mirror, I see my father's face.

"A Rage of Souls is Chris Nickson at his best – complex, compelling and, above all. compassionate." How's that for the conclusion of a review? Why not read the whole thing and maybe it will persuade you to buy the book (hint: you should).

A RAGE OF SOULS . . . Between the covers

This begins as one of the most baffling and impenetrable of Simon Westow’s cases. We are in Leeds, 1826. He solves a case of fraud, the fraudster is sentence to hang, but reprieved. He then r…

Thank you all so much for giving A Rage of Souls a big publication day boost yesterday. If you keep on buying it, maybe it can leap all the way to the best seller list. Are you game? Yes? Then you know what to do.

Good afternoon/morning/whatever it is where you are. A Rage Of Souls is published today, and Society 19 kindly interviewed me about it (and a couple of other projects that have been hush-hush until now).
Have a read. Order the book..

Happy Publication Day @chrisnickson2.bsky.social ! ✨🎺🏆🥳🎉🎊🍾

Chris Nickson @chrisnickson2.bsky.social · 3d

Indulge me, please (after all, it's my publication day). We writers sweat and fret and dream, , and with the help of our editors and publishers, launch it into the world. Sometimes, not often, we'll get a review like this and know it's all worthwhile.

Sadly, I suspect you're right.

Chris Nickson @chrisnickson2.bsky.social · 3d

Happy publication day to...me. I know it won't sell as many as Taylor Swift's new album, but if you're kind enough to buy a copy (independent bookseller are ALWAYS best), we can make the charts.
You know the drill by now. Thank you all so much - enjoy.

That little Bobby Jenrick, he's a proper Daily Fail racist, isn't he? Anything for attention and power, playing on pathetic fears and images of a country than changed long before he was born. What next, the great replacement theory?
Away with you, you tiny corrupt turd.

Question what they tell you. Don't just accept.

Seems to me that we shouldn't be trying to deport people who braved dangers were can't imagine to come here for a better life. We should probably kick out those who stash their money in tax havens. Let them go and join it unless they pay their tax here.

A Rage Of Souls is released into the world tomorrow. I would be very grateful if you took a look at it. Even more if you bought it, or asked your library to do it.
