I got this as an Amazon First Read and I'm a bit late reading it for a First Read, but I'm reading it now and it's so good. Very much has an 80's music vibe to it, along with a fab story. 💙📚

And just like that…it was Publication Day #thelostpastofbillymcqueen
Same goes for their characters. I got a 2 star review from Jane Eyre yesterday. For being ‘woke’. She really needs to move on from the Victorian era, right?
⭐️⭐️ ‘Well written, but spoiled by the wokeness’
I might get this printed on a t-shirt…
Thank you Mike 🧡
My paperbacks have arrived 🧡 Signed copies will be available from Harbour Books in Whitstable, who are hosting the launch party on Wednesday 4th December. There will be fizz, cupcakes, a reading and Q&A, and 80s tunes to get you in the mood for Christmas. Ticket details on eventbrite 🙂
This is so lovely to hear, thank you. Very different in terms of accent and dialect (Northern Irish), but I think the cast have done a brilliant job. To my ears, it feels like a performance/radio play rather than just narration, which is how I like my audiobooks 🙂
Glad to hear you’re enjoying it so far, Chloe. Lots more drama to come ☘️
Only about 100 pages in but it's wonderful so far.
I’ve had a sneaky peek. The narrators are wonderful 🙂
Just 9 days left for Amazon Prime customers to grab their free download of ‘The Lost Past of Billy McQueen’ if they’re signed up to Amazon First Reads, or 99p otherwise #AmazonFirstReads amzn.eu/d/6hHoYaG
En route to London this morning to record my Author’s Note for the audiobook of ‘The Lost Past of Billy McQueen’. Once again Embla Books have done a fantastic job with casting. Narrated by Patrick Moy and Ruairi Conagan, it’s available on audible and Spotify from 1st December🎧
#NoSonofMine is @clareswatmanauthor.bsky.social first thriller and it’s a really good one. With a fascinating look at nature vs nurture at its heart, it’s about how far a mother will go to bond with and protect the son she had adopted as a baby.
If you’re eligible for Prime First Reads on Amazon, I have two recommendations for you this month. You can choose one for free and buy another for 99p if you wish.
