The Lost Publication Day.

Last night, my ninth title The Lost - the first in a new series featuring DI David Stone and DS Frankie Oliver was launched at Forum Books in Corbridge to a full house with standing room only at the back.

I'd like to thank Helen (Forum's owner) for organising the event in her fabulous new independent bookshop, all those who came along to celebrate and local photographer Ian Wylie who captured the event on camera for us. As you can see, we had a lot of fun. If you'd like to take a peek at what went on, you can do so here: bit.ly/2pwmP13 

There are a few others to thank: my publishing team at Orion for their hard work; Val McDermid, Peter Robinson, Eva Dolan and Angela Marsons for the wonderful quotes they gave; reviewers and bloggers who read and reviewed The Lost so positively pre-publication; my readers who have and continue to support me and the amazing Twitter crowd who've sent good wishes today. 

Happy reading . . .
