A beautiful day in #newyork yesterday. Glorious sunshine in Central Park, which is one of my favourite places on earth. Back at the #thrillerfest2023 hotel I found my award-nominated novel in the book room.

We call it ‘living the life’. I celebrated publication day with drinks - and an enormous quantity of chips and cheese - at the Bookmarks rooftop bar with @claremackwrites @laradearman and @lwhitehouse5. Am slightly worried about how my liver is going to survive this week! #authorlife #newyorklife
