Just a quick note to bring you some news on one of our favourite authors - Nicci French. This fabulous writing team of Nicci Gerrard and Sean French have just launched their new website www.niccifrench.co.uk . We've had a look and think it's great! As you would expect it features News, Reviews, and backlist information but it also contains some of the best competitions around (the current one is a trip to New York!) and a blog by both Nicci and Sean.

March 2009


One of the delights of working in the book industry is the weird and wonderful book launches publishers throw for their authors. Here at Soho Noir we've had the pleasure of attending a number of these, some would say that we really have attended the opening of an envelope but we say, what better way to spend an evening than becoming inebriated on our two favourite pleasures: writing and fine red wine?

On one murderous occasion we attended a gloriously sinister evening of crime writers gathering together to read from their works in a beautiful hidden away church in East London. To get into our crime underworld we entered through a doorway from an equally eerie yard - that yard being Bleeding Heart, the notorious and unchanged cobbled courtyard of yesteryear. Infamous because of its ghostly happenings! Little did we know that a couple of years later, Andrew Taylor would be writing a novel on the same place. But write it he did and we loved i so much we reviewed it - navigate your way to our musings of 'Bleeding Heart Square' on our Reviews page.

Here at Soho Noir, we highly recommend going down to your local bookstore and picking up a copy (you're sure to love it as much as we did). Alternatively, if you are feeling lucky (well do you punk?) then why not enter our competition as Penguin publishers have given us 5 copies to give away. Head over to the Competition page and get an entry in before the end of March to be eligible to win.

Good luck and fingers crossed!!
