Another very successful #recordstoreday. Up at 5.30am, in the queue by 7 and only sixth in line. Got everything I was after including the Lily Allen and Blur zoetrope picture discs and the Lost In Translation soundtrack. Also pictured, non-RSD release, the excellent new Taylor Swift album.
Now I won’t need to buy any vinyl for months (ahem).
Big thanks to @thepolarbearkingsheath
A huge thanks from Peggy and me to everyone who has bought The Darkest Water so far, the hundreds who came to my launch party last night and everyone who has reviewed it, shared the love on social media and generally made me feel appreciated over the past couple of weeks. 20 books in and it’s still the best job in the world.
The Darkest Water is out now! Available as an ebook (including Kindle Unlimited), paperback and audiobook, to find it just go to Amazon and search ‘Mark Edwards darkest water’. Or ask your local bookshop or library to order a copy. Hope you love it!
Want to see what you could win if you watch my live launch party for The Darkest Water on Facebook tomorrow night? That’s 8pm UK/3pm ET April 16 on my Facebook page. Link in bio or search FB for mark edwards author. You have to watch the party live to get your name in the cookie jar. Hope to see you there!
With sincere apologies to the staff at my local post office, I will be giving away all this stuff at the launch party for The Darkesf Water on Tuesday. Signed books, pens and more! It all happens over on my Facebook page and you have to watch live for the chance for your name to be pulled from the cookie jar. Link in bio or look for Mark Edwards Author on Facebook.
Hot off the press: an interview with me in today’s @expressandstar in which I talk about The Darkest Water (out Tuesday!). Also, giving @theheathbookshop’s books and music festival a plug. That happens next weekend and there are a few tickets left.
Live reading from The Darkest Water which is published April 16, as a paperback, ebook and audiobook.
Calvin is about to discover the dangers of social media…
I have a first UK edition of On Writing by Stephen King, which is still the best writing guide I’ve ever read, especially the memoir section. I particularly love the story about how, when he sold the paperback rights (ah, those were the days!) to Carrie, he went out looking for a celebratory gift to buy his wife - and all he could find in their one local store was a hair dryer.
I wonder if it’s too late to enter the Meet Stephen King competition?
An interview with yours truly in @crimemonthlymagazine this month. Also, there are at least six ideas for future books on the cover alone!
Join me Tues 16 April over on my Facebook page for the live launch of The Darkest Water. Prizes! Chat! Q&A! News! Hopefully an appearance from Peggy and Sherlock. Link in bio. It kicks off at 8pm UK time.
Had a fun evening in Bridgnorth watching two of my favourite authors and people @cltaylorauthor and @erinjelly talk about their brilliant new books, Every Move You Make and The House of Mirrors. @jennyblackhurstauthor and Elena Wilkes were there too. @bookabookshop were the amazing hosts - they sold so many tickets they had to move the event to the library - and it was great to see so many people queuing to buy hardbacks. Go buy Cally and Erin’s books!
