THE MARRIAGE TRAP is set! On pre-order now. Plus other #booknews #psychological #thriller @bookouture #SundayBlogShare

Just in case I forgot to mention it 😄, THE MARRIAGE TRAP is set! My new psychological thriller from fab Bookouture is out on 30th July but available to pre-order right now. And how irresistible is this cover?

I am totally in ❤

My husband has been keeping secrets for a long time. He thinks I don’t know what he does outside of this house. But I know everything… 

Karla watches silently as Jason hurriedly packs his belongings into a suitcase. She knows that her stillness is unnerving him as she watches his every move from the doorway of their bedroom.

Clothes are screwed up and packed into the case, along with a watch she bought him for his last birthday and his precious laptop. He takes everything from his bedside table. Everything except the framed wedding photo, which now stands alone. Karla strains to see the smiling faces in the photo. If only she knew then what she knows now.

‘I’ve fallen in love with someone else,’ he’d said to her, just moments earlier. The brutality of those words hit Karla hard and she struggled to breathe as she took in each word in turn.

You may think you know what Karla will do next. But you’ll be wrong. Because Karla isn’t who you think she is. Only she knows what’s about to happen. And you will never see it coming.

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller for readers who loved The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Other Woman. With twists you’ll never see coming, you will not be able to put this one down!

Keep safe all!

Lots of love,

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!

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

 

What readers are saying about Sheryl Browne:

‘Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! What a rollercoaster of a ride that story was, bloody brilliant! This story is jaw droppingly addictive, you won’t be able to put it down. Amazing.’ Gemma’s Book Reviews

‘Had my blood boiling! … had me hooked, gripped and my heart pounding throughout.’ Between the Pages Book Club

‘WOW … Stunning … Gripping, tense and suspenseful… There aren’t many thriller authors who can grip the reader so powerfully, a heart in mouth and pulse racing realistic thriller.’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘Absolutely sucked me in, I was totally captivated and couldn’t put this one down … an incredible read … blew my mind.’ Bonnie’s Book Talk

‘WOW!!! What a story! From the first word I was dragged into the story.’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘Sheryl Browne absolutely NAILED it with this book! I started reading telling myself I was just going to read one chapter. I ended up staying awake until 3am finishing this book in a single sitting.’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘Phew … Goosebumps, shivers down my spine and the hairs on the back of my neck were standing on end, that’s how good this book is.’ 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,
