'...a brilliantly witty book, with a dark, slightly whacky humour. It’s also tense, with properly shocking moments, and more twists than a barley sugar sweetie.' Many thanks to @tripfiction.bsky.social for the kind words!

The hapless and unfortunate Torfi may have become one of my favourite characters of this year! @graskeggur.bsky.social has done a fantastic job of translating. More, please, Hr Arason!

A cool first review for the Hotel Manager's Guide to Murder, with a month to go before publication! ‘This promises to be the start of an extraordinarily addictive series of Nordic/Scandinavian crime thrillers,’ says Ali Karim in Shots. www.shotsmag.co.uk/book_reviews...

Get your preorders in for this great new voice, #TheHotelManagersGuideToMurder has the most fantastic premise, with the perils that can arise from a simple misinterpretation of a throwaway phrase! #BookSky #Iceland

Time to start shouting about this one, even though it won't hit the bookshelves until July... What brings the rough sleepers to one of Reykjavík's smart hotels every winter night while the rest of the world slumbers? Available for pre-order on Kobo and Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GZ543WF2/

#Rapture is imminent - it's thrilling! But if tomorrow, nothing has changed and you want to recapture the heady rapture thrill of today, buy a copy of my book, Salt Lick from me. Probably the only book on the 2022 Women's Prize for Fiction longlist that included any reference to the blessed event

A page from Salt Lick with the following excerpt highlighted: "The ground floor is large, white and mostly empty except for the few shop dummies. The six in the window stand in orderly anticipation, as though waiting for the rapture. A disparate bunch of stragglers lag behind, some of them still wearing the odd item of clothing."
