congratulations gents!
A wee story about John Thaw.
I like talking to taxi drivers. One cabbie told me he'd had a lot of famous people in his car, but his favourite, by far, was John Thaw. He had to pick up John at the Europa Hotel and drive him to the North coast to meet a director about a film.
Then they left for the meeting. John paid for the driver's dinner while he waited to drive him back after the meeting. The cab driver's mother never forgot about John's visit.
He was an absolute prince.
Watched Bruce Castor Jr make his opening speech for the defense in the impeachment trial. I think Trump would've been better hiring the zoom cat lawyer.
The driver went into his mother's, said be had someone in his cab who wanted to meet her. At which point John Thaw danders in and says:
"Madam, I understand that you adore me."
They spent half and hour having tea and biscuits, taking photos and chatting.
The cabbie said his mother was a huge fan of John's. She loved Morse, and Kavanagh QC, he was her idol.
John Thaw: Does your mum live in Belfast?
Driver: Aye, in the east.
John Thaw: How far away?
Driver: About 5 minutes.
John Thaw: Let's go and see her.
Reading stories about disgraced, twice-impeached, former Pres saying he's going to be REINSTATED as President by August?
He can't even get reinstated on Instagram.
This is very moving and it's 100% guaranteed the truth. Please watch and share.

He told the cab driver the director would wait. So they drove out to the cab driver's mother's house, and the driver said he would need to go and warn her about this. She was in her 80's and he didn't know if she could cope with the shock.
Trump to the rioters. "We love you."
And an afterthought, "Go home."
He's a disgrace. Still fuels the fire with baseless claims of election fraud.

This video just lays it all out. The caging of children and the separation from their families is a Republican policy. It's mind boggling that this happens, right now, in the US.

Here's fun. I'm writing a scene set in Central Park. All the lamp posts in the park have unique numbers so you can navigate. First 2 digits indicate cross street i.e. near 70th St. If last 2 digits are even you're on the E side of the park. Odd, you're on the W side. I love this.
I haven't been able to work much these past few days, but I did come up with an idea for a new Eddie Flynn book. I remember having the idea for Thirteen, and feeling goosebumps thinking about it.
It's goosebumps time again.
On 3rd August this year my new book will be out in the UK and Ireland via the good folk at

A short thread to thank readers.
Prior to June 2018 my first three books had sold about 10,000 copies in the UK, combined. My life changed when this book came out that June.
"The courtroom had no natural light. A concrete box filled with loss, hate, betrayal, murder, corruption and lies. It was the great theatre of human weakness." Eddie Flynn

Honestly didn't think this was going to happen. No stock in Waterstones and no pre-orders processed, The Accomplice still made the Sunday Times Bestseller List. Huge thanks to everyone who bought a copy! Waterstones staff are fantastic and are sorting the issues asap!
I am enormously grateful to my readers and this only applies to a very small number of you, but please don't tweet spoilers about my books. My plots are meticulously crafted to surprise, shock and delight you with twists and reveals. Don't spoil these moments for other readers.

I never really believe it until I see the Bestseller chart in the Sunday Times. In a huge week for book releases I'm amazed to be at number 6. Thank you to everyone who bought the book and shared their pics and enthusiasm for The Devil's Advocate. It means the world to me.
I didn't start going to school properly until I was 15. I didn't see the point. I would mitch weeks and weeks, reading in the park or playing pool. I've now published 7 novels and I still don't know when to use "that" and when to use "which" in a sentence. And I never will.
I'm reading The Hobbit to my boy. I'd forgotten how much I love Tolkien...
"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."
Finished this yesterday. A woman and her partner board an ocean liner bound for New York. She wakes up the next day and there's no one on the ship but her. This is the apex of mystery and suspense writing. I absolutely loved this
@willrdean
also.
A bit of info came my way today. The Eddie Flynn books, with a little help from Twisted, have sold over half a million copies in the UK and Ireland. I'd celebrate, but right now Eddie and Harry are in a whole lot of trouble & I want to see how they get out of it.
#EddieFlynn6
Mrs C got me a new keyboard for Xmas. The littlest Cavanagh (age 11), unbeknownst to me, snuck into my office and started typing on it. He wrote a review for me to find when I turned the screen back on.
Putting the finishing touches to Eddie Flynn 5, the follow up to Thirteen.
Two sisters accuse each other of their father's murder.
One trial to decide the truth.
Fifty-Fifty is out 2020.
I'm in on a US book tour, in Raleigh Durham airport waiting for a flight to Chicago, and holding a copy of the New York Times, with a review of my book and a cartoon from Pablo Armargo based on Thirteen. Such a surreal and amazing feeling for a working-class guy from Belfast.
This is huge news for me. I'm joining a hugely talented roster of writers, I have the very best people in my corner and I can't tell you all how bloody excited I am.
I want to welcome the extraordinarily talented

Steve's wonderful novel THE LIAR won the 2018 CWA Gold Dagger Award for BEST NOVEL OF THE YEAR & his brilliant novel THIRTEEN won the Theakston Old Peculier CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR, among other honors
This is a huge thank-you to everyone who has bought my books, read them and enjoyed them. I can't quite believe it. All I can say is keep reading. There will be another Eddie Flynn book this year.
Reviewers who refer to some genres or books as "guilty pleasures" have automatically diminished their opinion by use of that phrase. No such thing as a "guilty pleasure" when reading. Unless, you're Catholic, and you're reading the Pope's diary in secret. Then it's 3 Hail Mary's.
From Eddie Flynn 7, my WIP. This will probably get cut from the book because it's a bit too sweary. But I like it. A tip of the hat to Scorcese and Goodfellas.
This is the book I've been wanting to write for 10 years. The themes deal with injustice and racism. It means a lot to me. And I sincerely hope it will mean something to you as well.
A hugely happy publication day to

I watched Trump's press briefing. If he was an actor auditioning for the role of President in a low-budget Hallmark channel movie he wouldn't get the job.
I think I owe Rudy Giuliani some personal thanks. I try to write high-concept, heart-stopping courtroom thrillers and the biggest criticism I get is, "That would never happen/a prosecutor would never do that."
Those days are over. Thanks Rudy, ya crazy son-of-a-bitch.
I'm reasonably certain a dolphin has scored higher on this test than this guy. And he's stupid enough to be proud of it. Actually, that should be part of the test. If you think any part of it was tough you're an idiot.
COVER REVEAL!
Some people think crime writers are dark, devious individuals capable of murder.
What if they're right?

If you're in the UK, ITV Hub has all episodes of Cracker available to stream. It's the best crime drama ever made for television. It's intelligent, unpredictable, terrifying, witty and heartbreaking - sometimes all in one episode. I heartily recommend.
Everyone in the District Attorney's office in New York rubbing their hands at the prospect of Trump losing Presidential immunity against prosecution.
THE BEST.
IS YET.

If you're a book blogger then I owe you my sincerest thanks. People who create conversations about books are gold. You're gold. Keep doing what you do.
I've seen a few tweets recently by literary types looking for crime novels with the caveat that the prose has to be good!? How stupid is that? Good writing is found in EVERY genre. With that said, can anyone recommend me a literary novel that isn't a load of old wank? (Joke BTW)
Despite massive distribution problems, delays processing orders, I'm very proud to say THE ACCOMPLICE is an instant

Finished this at 3am. I couldn't put it down. A visceral nightmare of a book with one of the most evil villains I've come across in a long time. Powerful writing. Not for the faint of heart. Look out for this one next year.
