⛰️ Just been reminded that ten years ago today I was standing here, very high in Nepal, with Everest in the background. I’d been writing for 4 years, had an agent for 2 but was as yet unpublished. That particular mountain took another 6 years to summit. Lesson learned: PERSEVERE

🏆 So it’s already won the McIlvanney Prize at Bloody Scotland…now I officially declare The Cracked Mirror by Chris Brookmyre is the book I will NEVER stop banging on about. Absolute belter. Total genius. Love reading books where you can tell the author loved writing it. Ta, Chris!

📱 So after my confrontation this time last week with the Barcelona pickpocket who stole my phone (I got it back) CAN YOU BELIEVE IT but they’ve pickpocketed my mum today in Tenerife and taken her mobile. I was with her but didn’t notice. I know phones don’t really matter BUT🥊

“Most have specs and few have pals.” One of many gems in this book. Been wanting to read Maggie and Me by Damian Barr for AGES and finally got it this week. Absolutely brilliant writing. And as a geek lesbo growing up in the 1980s in a Scottish coal-mining town…feeling it!

📚 Just finished a revenge thriller like no other - THEY HAD IT COMING by the inimitable Nikki Smith . I devoured it in hours and defy anyone to guess what’s about to happen. She’s done it again, but even better than before. Out May 2025⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📚

🤔 Question about prison mail for my next novel - if I send a letter to a prisoner will the envelope be marked in any way by prison staff before it’s given to prisoner? And for outgoing mail from a prisoner to me, will regular stamps be used and again, will envelope be marked?

😱 In other news, I was mildly insulted by a stranger and wrote a blog piece about it, in support of crime fiction - and as part of the National Crime Reading Month campaign 🙏🏼 emmachristiewriter.com/blog/i-was-tol…
