PRETTY LITTLE THINGS – COVER REVEAL

So, here it is!

This is the fantastic cover for my first standalone novel, Pretty Little Things!

I really enjoyed writing this book. I love my DCI Claire Winters series but it has been lovely to start from scratch with a new set of characters to get to know and flesh out, in a new place, and with some new ideas through the story itself.

Pretty Little Things is a bit different from the DCI Winters series, but I am confident that readers of the series will also enjoy the new book. Best described as a psychological thriller with a investigative procedural edge, Pretty Little Things still stays true to my ‘voice’ and tendency to lean towards the raw, darker and twisty side of the crime/thriller genre.

Pretty Little Things is published in eBook on 6th June 2018 and is available across all e-retailers (Amazon, Kobo, iBooks, Barnes and Noble etc.).

It can be pre-ordered here for Amazon UK and here for those of you from the USA for only 99p/99 cents!

Pretty Little Things will also be available as an audio book in due course and when there is more news, I will update the website.

For more instant and up to date news, you can follow me on Twitter @tmewalsh or my Facebook author page if you haven’t done so already.

I hope to have some more news soon, but until then, I’ll leave you all with the blurb and the awesome, and suitably creepy, book trailer!

And, as they dig deeper into the lives of the people they call friends and neighbours, they uncover secrets more terrible than they ever imagined…

Pretty Little Things is the nail-bitingly terrifying new serial killer thriller from T. M. E. Walshthe perfect read for fans of Close to Home, Behind Her Eyes and The Child.

Knowing that book 2 will be coming out as a physical book is a fantastic feeling. ‘Principle’ will always have a special place in my heart because it has opened many doors for me on my publishing journey. To see it go into PB for the first time is a big deal for me.

FOR ALL OUR SINS Paperbacks!

My editor, Clio Cornish, with the first few copies!

OK,  so the paperback isn’t out until October, but LOOK!

They arrived in the publisher’s office yesterday and I can’t wait to get my grubby hands on my copies 😀

My book is in fantastic company here...

My book is in fantastic company here…

These pictures came at the perfect time yesterday.  I’m now editing the first draft of book 3 (which will be having a new title – more on that soon!), before it goes off to my editor and the nagging doubts have crept in as my deadline looms.

If anyone ever thinks that the worries go away and that everything gets easier with the more books you write, you’re wrong! At least where I’m concerned anyway.

I’ll post more of an update when I can, but for now, I just had to share these pictures.

It makes all the early starts, late nights and days spent at the desk worth it all, just to see and hold a physical copy of your book – something you have poured your heart and soul into.

New contract – more books!

20160520_105011

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! 😀
