Thank you! For the fab pics! #bloggers #bookbloggers #TheSecondWife #TheAffair @bookouture

I’m always saying I wouldn’t be writing without the fabulous support of bloggers. So many of you guys cheered me on when I thought, Why am I doing this?  I probably get a bit boring saying it over, but … Well, how can you not keep thanking people who give up their time to read and review your books and are just so massively supportive?

I was gobsmacked when I saw some of the photos appearing along with reviews for The Second Wife and The Affair. Genuinely speechless and humbled that people could be so generous and lovely. All this? For my little book? Amazed, totally.

I won’t go on (I bore myself sometimes!) but I had to post a few of them here. They’re so gorgeous they simply have to be shared.

Here we go:

The pic below is from Nichola – itsshewolf – who says of The Affair: “Sometimes I feel scared reading books from authors I don’t know, or never heard of through other authority because if I end up not liking the book or format of writing I feel bad. But this was not the case with this book. I was glued from the very start. THE AFFAIR had constant turn of events and kept me wanting to constantly read. ” Thank you, Nichola, for taking a chance on me!

This one is was kindly taken by Cen at Cenninsbookreview, who says of The Second Wife: “This book has everything a psychological thriller needs to make it such a fantastic book.” Thank you, Cen, for a fantastic review and fab photo!

The next is from Mackenzie at PhDiva.blog. Mackenzie says: “I was so honored to get to be on the final stop for the blog tour of this wild thriller!!! I am excited that this book is published and out in the universe. I’ve already been seeing some great reviews from other readers that delights me!” Mackenzie, I was utterly delighted by your fab review. Thank you!

Another below from jeanniehay64, who says: “ It didn’t disappoint with loads of drama , twists , intrigue and a fantastic plot. The characters she has created are fantastic, I was really rooting for good to prevail and my heart was breaking at some points.” Thank you, Jeannie, for a fab review and gorgeous pic!

One from cassies_books_reviews! Cassie says, “I seriously was taken on a crazy thriller ride while reading this book – the ending was so shocking!” Thank you, Cassie! I’m sorry I shocked you! Um, I think…

The pic below is from It’s All About The Thrill. Kim says, “This book was so dark, twisted and pure evil. Yes thriller lovers this has all the right ingredients!” Kim, thank you! I love it!

The next was posted on Twitter by @readbyashleigh, who says: “I loved this book and would definitely recommend it to any thriller lovers!” Thank you, Ashleigh! I love it!

One from Savannahlime, who tells me she enjoys all my books. How lovely is that? Thank you so much, Savannah!

Finally, I just found another on Insta! Forgive me for blundering through here. Still finding my way around that app. This one is from Shalini, who says: “Evil begets evil. Darkness can be fought only when you can jump into the murky depths and shine the light, yet fight dirty… One has to read this book to understand this line.” I love it! Thank you so much, Shalini!

I’ll go away now. But I may have to come back. There are so many lovely pics – I can’t believe I’ve missed them! Thank you SO much to everyone who has posted. You truly inspire me to keep writing. I simply wouldn’t be without you!

Oooh, I almost forgot! The Second Wife is currently just 99p! If you fancy a read, here are the linkies:

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am at the reception she’s receiving. The reviews so far have truly inspired me. In fact, I’ve just typed THE END on the first of a SECOND three-book contract with my truly ground-breaking publisher, fantastic Bookouture.

Thank you! Every single comment means the absolute world! I’m humbled, proud – and I LOVE YOU for loving THE SECOND WIFE!

I’m also thrilled beyond words to be told by my fabulous editor recently that sales on THE BABYSITTER and THE AFFAIR – my no 1 bestselling eBook – are now in excess of 150,000 copies. How amazing is that? I won’t lie, I’ve been juggling a few personal issues – and this is just beyond my wildest expectations. It’s all down to the support of people like you, my fab editor, Helen Jenner, and the fantastic Bookouture Team. Thank you SO much.

I was absolutely ecstatic when I also received news of lots of lovely overseas deals for THE BABYSITTER. The trade paperback edition will publish this year with Grand Central Publishing in New York! – and The Polish edition, published by Grupa Wydawnicza Foksal, is coming in June this year. I just have to share the cover.

How brilliant is that?

That’s it … for now. I’ll get on with reading that first draft of book four, hoping that the weird time frame I’ve decided on has come together. I think it has, #fingerscrossed.

Ooh! There’s still time to PRE-ORDER The Second Wife, if you fancy it!

Meanwhile, keep safe all.

Love,

Phew! I haven’t been here in so long, I’ve almost forgotten how! I’ve been hard at it (writing, that is!) and, thanks to the superb editors at Bookouture, have just signed off on my line edits for Book Three! I can’t share details yet, but I have to say I am super-pleased with the latest draft. Next step: copy edits – I will keep you posted.

Things have been happening meanwhile! I’m absolutely thrilled to share that The Affair has been flying high and earned a #1 bestseller badge, bestselling on Amazon US and UK. How amazing is that? Even more amazing is that The Babysitter and The Affair have now topped 100,000 sales and are still going.

The Babysitter has also secured some overseas deals! More about that as things progress. I was absolutely ecstatic when I got a copy of the cover for The Babysitter trade paperback edition which will publish next year with Grand Central Publishing in New York!

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to readers and all the fantastically hardworking bloggers who have taken time to read and review my books. Your passion, as always, leaves me in absolute awe. Thank you! It’s been a tough journey, littered with potholes. You guys gave me the incentive to climb out of them, dust myself off, and keep going. You’re all just brilliant!

I can’t resist a little share of my updated video for The Affair (indulge me. It’s what I do when my brain fades). Hope you enjoy!

That’s it. I’ll go away now and crack on with Book Four!

Keep safe all!

Lots of love,

#booknews #TheAffair coming soon from @bookouture #Fridayblogs

Phew! I’ve finally caught up with myself… Wait. I have 4k words still to write on my work in progress! Eek! Actually, I’ve never been so happy to be so busy. Attending the Bookouture party in London yesterday, I was hit by a buzz of excitement as soon as I walked in the room. The atmosphere was electric (and this was before the Prosecco!). I don’t think I have ever been in the company of such a positive group of people. Authors and editors, along with the fabulous marketing managers who work so hard for us, just oozed positivity and excitement. I can’t thank my editors enough for their hard work on my behalf helping to get my books as good as they can possibly be. After a devastating setback on the personal front slap bang in the middle of my contract… Well, I couldn’t have done it without Bookouture and the fabulous bloggers and readers who support us all! Here’s to us!

I promise I didn’t drink to many of these!

A quick update on my book news! I can’t give secrets away yet, but The Babysitter is doing amazingly well. And, yes, I know it’s my writing, but the book wouldn’t have grown wings without Bookouture, bloggers and readers firmly behind it. I call that awesome teamwork!

So, just in case you haven’t heard, THE AFFAIR is now available for pre-order! We’ve worked hard on it. I’m a little bit excited by it. I LOVE my cover (I may have to get this one framed!). What do you think?

THE AFFAIR

The moment she opened her eyes, she knew everything had changed. The stale taste of alcohol; her uneasy stomach. She looked at her husband sleeping peacefully, and knew she would never tell anyone what happened last night.

You will think you know what happened to Alicia that night.

You will see a desperate wife, lying to her husband.

You will watch a charming lover, trying to win her back.

You will judge her, just like everyone else.

You will assume you know what happens next. But everything you think you know about the past, the relationships, what drives Alicia and her husband to lie… is wrong.

If you loved The Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us and The Sister, you’ll love this compelling and gripping psychological thriller from Sheryl Browne. The Affair will have you hooked from the very first page!

 

What readers are saying about The Affair:

‘Wow… I’m speechless… it is just that amazing… seriously stop reading this review and just buy the book… I was so gripped by this that I read it in record time, and even when I paused for a break, my mind was still on it… This is addictive, compulsive book that has blown me away… Clear yourself a few hours where you can lock yourself away from the real world… simply superb!’ Rachel’s Random Reads

‘The story starts with a big shock, BAM, in your face and it carries on from there until the very last sentence… I LOVED it, a great read, told in this author’s special easy to read style that brings you in and keeps you there.’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘Expect the unexpected, don’t try to predict the many twists and turns (you’ll NEVER guess the ending) and get the tissues ready.’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘Sheryl Browne has written a tense psychological thriller with a chilling antagonist taking central stage … a highly addictive read.’ The Book Review Café

That’s it! I’ll go away now. Before I do though, I would again like to thank all those people who have supported me. I can’t tell you how much that support has meant, particularly this year when I really needed it. You’re all just brilliant!

Keep safe all!

Lots of love,

I am back on track! #booknews #TheBabysitter coming soon from @bookouture #Fridayblogs

After a devastating loss of a close one over Christmas, I’m getting back on track – with a little help and support from my friends ~ thank you!

So, Just in case you haven’t heard, THE BABYSITTER, coming to you from Bookouture on 8th March, is now available for pre-order! For any bloggers or reviewers out there that fancy grabbing it, it’s also available on NetGalley.

I’m also uber-excited to share that the audio book is currently being recorded at the Audio Factory and will be available soon. I’ve heard some of the audio clips and they are amazing. Super-talented Tasmin Kennard is narrating and she has nailed it. There’s nothing quite like hearing your characters speaking to truly bring them to life. I’ll be first in the queue for my copy. I’m just a little bit excited. Can you tell?

Fancy a peek at the Blurb? Oh, go on then…

You trust her with your family. Would you trust her with your life?

Mark and Melissa Cain are thrilled to have found Jade, a babysitter who is brilliant with their young children. Having seen her own house burn to the ground, Jade needs them as much as they need her. Moving Jade into the family home can only be a good thing, can’t it?

As Mark works long hours as a police officer and Melissa struggles with running a business, the family become ever more reliant on their babysitter, who is only too happy to help. And as Melissa begins to slip into depression, it’s Jade who is left picking up the pieces.

But Mark soon notices things aren’t quite as they seem. Things at home feel wrong, and as Mark begins to investigate their seemingly perfect sitter, what he discovers shocks him to his core. He’s met Jade before. And now he suspects he might know what she wants …

Mark is in a race against time to protect his family. But what will he find as he goes back to his family home?

If you loved reading The Girl on the Train, Behind Closed Doors and The Sister, you’ll love the suspense of The Babysitter. This unputdownable read will have you turning the pages until way after dark. 

What readers are saying about The Babysitter:

‘I have spent the past few hours consumed by The Babysitter. I was at 60% and was about to turn off my Kindle and go to bed, but I couldn’t and just had to get it finished. It was such an addictive read that I couldn’t wait to see how it was going to end.’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘A terrific read – a real page turner.’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘I’m such a sucker for psychological thrillers, and this one did not disappoint. Makes you want to think twice about bringing people by your children! Definitely thought provoking. I would recommend!’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘A good page turning novel.’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘If you enjoy films like The Hand That Rocks the Cradle you’ll love this.’ Nigel Adams Bookworm

‘This was a great book!… I would definitely make this a read at my book club because it was very good.’ Bookish Babes

In other news, DEADLY INTENT, Book Three in the DI Matthew Adams Thriller series published with Choc Lit, continues to gather some fabulous reviews. Here’s a snippet from one of the latest: If you fancy checking that one out, please do click on the image below.
