The cover for Margaret McDonald’s much anticipated debut, GLASGOW BOYS, was revealed on the 6th of November, and we LOVE it!

Our second cover reveal is Dan Malakin’s THE WRECKAGE OF US, a thriller bound to keep you reading until the early hours. It will be publishing in June 2024, and you can pre-order THE WRECKAGE OF US here. If you can’t bear waiting that long to tantalise your thriller tastebuds, Dan’s last book, THE BOX, is available to buy here! If that doesn’t sound like your type of thing, why not give Dan’s debut, THE REGRET, a try? It’s available to buy here.
Celebrations
Wayne Barnes’ memoir, THROWING THE BOOK, is publishing on the 14th of November and Wayne recently spoke all about it with the BBC. As the referee of the recent Rugby World Cup final, it goes without saying that he is a man with much to talk about! Find out more here.
