For All Our Sins news!
For All Our Sins is up for the Audible Sounds of Crime Award at CrimeFest 2017!
The Audible Sounds of Crime Award is for the best unabridged crime audiobook first published in the UK in 2016 in both printed and audio formats, and available for download from audible.co.uk, Britain’s largest provider of downloadable audiobooks. The shortlist and overall winner is decided by Audible UK listeners.
To see my first book up there alongside some amazing authors, is a fantastic feeling, and credit where credit is due to Julie Maisey for the wonderful job she has done narrating and bringing my characters to life.
This will likely be my last post for 2016, so I’ll wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
DCI Claire Winters and I will see you in 2017.
FOR ALL OUR SINS PAPERBACK IS OUT TODAY!
The paperback is out today and available to order online and hopefully out in the wild (shelfies greatly appreciated – if you see it, snap it, Tweet me it @tmewalsh).
Maybe audio books are more your thing? Narrated by the talented Julie Maisey, you can download For All Our Sins here for your listening pleasure, published by HarperAudio.
New contract – more books!
Now that everything is ‘official’, I’m pleased to announce that I have signed another contract with Carina UK, (a digital first imprint of HarperCollins) for the next three books in the DCI Claire Winters series!
Book 3, Skin Deep, is shaping up nicely and is due to be released this autumn and I intend to start book 4, The Devil’s Letters, early August. Book 5 (currently untitled) will follow in the latter part of 2017/early 2018.
Skin Deep will be available for pre-order soon, but until then, The Principle of Evil is still at 99p until the end of May on Amazon UK in their Kindle Monthly Deal. Grab your copy and make a great saving! 😀
THE PRINCIPLE OF EVIL – CURRENTLY 99P
Just a quick post this morning to let you all know that The Principle of Evil is only 99p over on Amazon UK for a limited time only.
The book has just nudged into the top 100 chart this morning, so it would be great to see if it can climb higher!
Love crime fiction? Love DCI Claire Winters
It’s publication day!
The Principle of Evil is out today!
Blurb –
A body has been found in a frozen lake, bringing a gruesome act of evil into the light.
One look at the victim is enough for DCI Claire Winters to recognise the work of a warped mind. And when another woman is reported missing, Claire’s worst fears are confirmed: this is a killer who plans to strike again.
As the body count rises, the pressure is on for Claire to find the perpetrator and bring them to justice. But first, she must learn to understand the twisted mind behind the crimes. And that will take her to a darker place than she ever thought possible.
The book has come a long way since I self-published it in 2013, and the changes made are for the better, I think. There are some new scenes, further character development and an unresolved issue with one character (that I had originally intended to reveal in book 3), has made it into the last edit of ‘Principle’.
I’ve also added a mini cliff-hanger at the end, that will be taken into the next book, so anyone who has read the older version of the novel might want to have a read of the newer version.
I’ll have another update on the series soon, but until then, ‘The Principle of Evil’, can be bought from all good e-retailers (Amazon UK, Amazon USA, for example).
No Kindle, or Kobo etc? Don’t forget, you can download the free apps to any tablet, iPhone, or Android device.
I’m celebrating pub-day with…more writing! 😀
BOOKS – a mini update
I have a mini update ahead of tomorrows release of the second DCI Claire Winters novel, ‘The Principle of Evil’ (which can still be pre-ordered here).
Book one, ‘For All Our Sins’, has gone from strength to strength.
Carina/HarperCollins – 2016 cover
It has been in the best-selling top 100 Kindle chart on Amazon UK for 21 days now, which is fantastic. I’m so grateful for all the support I’ve had for the book and a BIG thank you to those who have bought it.
Getting into that top 100 chart, out of hundreds of thousands of ebooks means so much. The best position that I’ve seen has been #56.
Also, it’s been doing well on Kobo. In the top 50 chart for Mystery & Suspense. Considering most of my sales seem to come via Amazon, I’m very pleased to hit the Kobo charts 🙂
‘The Principle of Evil’ has also featured in Amazon’s Hot New Releases chart and hit #1 in the Hot New Releases Serial Killer chart, ahead of its release date.
Once again, a massive thank you to those who have pre-ordered it and shared all over social media in general. It means a lot.
Until tomorrow . . .
Tania xoxo 😀
A trip to HarperCollins HQ
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to go and see my publisher in their new office, The News building, at London Bridge (opposite the Shard).
I got to meet the Carina UK team, and see some of the wider Harlequin/HarperColins departments (MIRA, for example) as they work on various new releases. I also got to take away an advance copy of B A Paris’s début ‘Behind Closed Doors’. If you haven’t heard of it yet, where have you been? It’s currently #1 in the Amazon UK top 100 Kindle chart. It’s next on my (huge) TBR pile.
Wall made from books!
The main reason for my visit, however, was to meet my editor properly and have a chat about the DCI Winters series, and my writing career.
We chatted over tea, looking out over the fantastic views of London. It was also exciting and lovely to hear that there were a few DCI Winters fans across the company.
I came away from the meeting feeling like my books were in very capable hands, with the team right behind me and the series.
I do have some news, that I will be sharing soon, but until then I’m preparing for the release of book 2, ‘The Principle of Evil’, which is available for pre-order (out 25th Feb).
Exciting (and nervous!) times ahead! 🙂
COVER REVEAL – Part two
And here it is! The cover for ‘The Principle of Evil’, book two in the DCI Claire Winters series.
I was amazed when I first saw the cover this week. It captures some key elements of the story in one bold look, and I hope it will draw readers in when browsing online.
It’s not long until publication day – 25th February – the book is up for pre-order, and I’m filled with both excitement and nerves.
‘The Principle of Evil’ really is my ‘book baby’. It has a special place in my heart, and has come a long way from its very early conception in February 2011.
Between 2011 and now, the book has gone through many changes, agent requests, re-workings, to being self-published in 2013, and then being picked up by Carina UK , who are an imprint of HarperCollins.
It’s been nearly five years, and to see how far it has come during this time is amazing.
Roll on publication day!
