I am so here for INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY! Here’s to the women past and present, pursuing their dreams and making an impact on the world and what comes next. And a special nod to some of the heroines in my books who history forgot or slandered. I’m happy I had a chance to restore you.
OK, I’m so jealous! AND BY FIRE (which I wrote as mystery me, Evie Hawtrey) is getting kitty snuggles! Hope the kitty likes the book. Also hope the kitty’s mommy does! #historicalmystery #crimefiction

I had a BLAST discussing everything from the daily life of a #historicalnovelist, to my relocation to glorious #York, to how I managed to put myself in a wheelchair with @matthewharffy.bsky.social and @justinhillauthor.bsky.social on their brilliant ROCK, PAPER SWORD open.spotify.com/episode/4rQu...
We had a great conversation last night with Sophie Perinot. I've just finished editing the episode and it will be live on the 6th of March. Like us Sophie will also be at the Historical Novel Society conference in August. Looking forward to that immensely.
Just got a peek at the gorgeous cover for the German release of A DAY OF FIRE

I am currently housebound in my flat in York thanks to some knee surgery. Being alone with my books and imagination is clearly leading to some interesting thoughts. So I've decided to start sharing some #historicalfiction #writerslife #authorlife
Two global trading houses that brokered an opaque deal with the Trump admin this month to sell Venezuelan oil were previously prosecuted for bribery schemes involving oil sales elsewhere… A senior trader at Vitol donated $6 million to Trump’s 2024 election. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption: On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.
My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti
Absolutely heartbreaking
While you are wrapped up on your couch this weekend I've got a #crimefiction #historicalmystery that can keep you company. Lots of fire in this one--The Great Fire of London, and also a modern day killer who burns bodies to create "art"

Snow and ice are coming. Power outages are predicted. By now the toilet paper aisle are empty. While you are stocking up for the coming storm don't forget a good read. #historicalfiction #historicalmystery #winterread www.sophieperinot.com www.eviehawtrey.com
Sill selecting book club reads for 2026? How about a mystery with some twisty history? Can a 300 year-old cold case help modern day detectives catch an artist happy to use burnt flesh in his work? Click the link for a readers guide and book club visit info eviehawtrey.com/book-clubs/ #bookclubs
For those of you who aren't aware--this new year means a BIG new adventure for me and a new home :) sophieperinot.com/new-year-new...
I believe this with my whole heart
The past was a very cruel place when it came to children’s health. I have no idea why we would want to return to it.
Happy New Year all. Or better say contented--because contentment is more deeply rooted and more stable.
It's time for the holiday trailer!!! This year give your friends or yourself a portal to the past--give historical fiction. www.sophieperinot.com for more information and buy links.

It’s unconscionable what is happening to science and specifically vaccine science in this country. How can anyone think it’s better for people to die than to risk having allergies?
Never thought I’d see my book listed alongside works by mystery GIANTS like Arthur Conan Doyle, Dorothy Sayers, P.D. James &David Baldacci! Delighted to see AND BY FIRE recommended as one of “15 Riveting Mysteries and Thrillers Set in London” on BookBub! #historicalmystery #mystery bit.ly/4496Z0k
It’s this simple
Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."
Cold but beautiful sunny day for Saturday morning shopping In York. The bells from the Minster – – ringing nonstop – – really put a smile on my face.
I can find no words just officially express my outrage and deep sadness at this. The White House is not a private residence. It is sacred ground—a piece of history. One that belongs to all of us.
SO I think you can all guess what I am doing today. I am attacking my current draft with vigor. Whether I or the draft will be victorious on this particular day has yet to be determined ;)
