Hey! I’m having a launch event for The Christmas Tree Killer at Serenity Booksellers on Tuesday 4th November. There will be Christmas cheer, mulled wine, and (fictional) festive murder… Tickets are on sale now, so please do come along! www.ticketsource.co.uk/serenity-boo...

If anyone would like a signed Erika Piper trilogy for cheaper than in the shops, DM me! I only have a couple of sets left, though…

Would any lovely authors be willing to read the sequel to The Killer’s Christmas List and maybe provide a little quote if you enjoy it? Thanks!!

Happy publication day to @cmacwritescrime.bsky.social - The republished Erika Piper trilogy is out today! Don’t miss this spine-tingling, fast-paced police procedural that will leave you breathless…

!! SOLD OUT !!
