We’re kicking things off with a cover reveal this week:

Leah Mercer’s The Puzzle of You  is due to be published by Amazon Publishing / Lake Union in November this year, and the cover is just beautiful.

Teresa Driscoll has hit one million readers across all of her titles this week – a phenomenal achievement. Teresa was equally thrilled with the news:

Melanie Golding’s unsettling thriller Little Darlings was included in Bustle’s 10 Horror Retellings of Your Favorite Classic Stories. Bustle also wrote a brilliant feature on Little Darlings, where they said: “Melanie Golding spins a chilling tale of modern motherhood based on that dark legend, and it will make you question your own hold on reality.”

Annie Ward’s Beautiful Bad has been nominated for the US-based Strand Critics Award for Best Debut Novel. It has been nominated along with five others, one of which is Stuart Turton’s The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle.

L.P. Fergusson’s A Dangerous Act of Kindness has been chosen for the Big Library Read, the world’s first global ebook club.

Over the weekend, the novel was at No. 1 in The Times. The Doll Factory was also picked as one of The Sunday Times’ “Must Reads” this week, will be featured as part of BBC Radio 4’s Book at Bedtime until the end of the week, and Elizabeth has been interviewed on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row.
