Hi there
I am really excited to be part of the blog tour for Emma Kavanagh's new book, Hidden, published by Cornerstone which is out now. Hidden is a psychological thriller that had me gripped from the start. I really loved it. My review is here

I am really pleased that Emma has taken some time to write a piece for my blog today about what her plans are now that Hidden has been published (I'm delighted to see mention of a third book!). Enjoy!
Gosh,
it’s
been an interesting couple of years. I have had my debut book published, have
given birth to a baby, survived a toddler (my crowning achievement) and am now
enjoying the roller coaster that is the publication of my second book, Hidden.
So,
what comes next?
I
am really hoping that the answer is a nap!
Kidding.
Kidding. I thrive on the chaos.
Or,
more accurately, it hasn’t killed me yet.
Well,
just recently I signed my second 2-book deal with the exceptionally talented
team at Arrow, which is all kinds of wonderful and allows me to continue doing
this job that has become as important as breathing to me.
And
what that means is that I am now knee-deep in book 3 (currently known as The
Missing Hours), the story of a woman who vanishes, only to reappear 18 hours
later with no knowledge of where she has been or what has happened to her. I
have to admit that it’s getting pretty
twisty, sufficiently so that I have had to unleash the index cards. But I am
loving writing this as the characters sit beside me and mercilessly order me
about.
I
am also, perhaps prematurely, lining up book 4. That doesn’t
have a title. It doesn’t have much of
anything, in fact. Just the kernel of an idea and a couple of characters that
have already begun to nose around the watering hole. It’s about a serial
killer. That’s
all I’m
going to say. Oh, and there are police in it. But you knew that anyway…

HE'S
WATCHING
A gunman is
stalking the wards of a local hospital. He's unidentified and dangerous, and
has to be located. Urgently.
Police
Firearms Officer Aden McCarthy is tasked with tracking him down. Still troubled
by the shooting of a schoolboy, Aden is determined to make amends by finding
the gunman - before it's too late.
SHE'S
WAITING
To
psychologist Imogen, hospital should be a place of healing and safety - both for
her, and her young niece who's been recently admitted. She's heard about the
gunman, but he has little to do with her. Or has he?
As time ticks
down, no one knows who the gunman's next target will be. But he's there. Hiding
in plain sight. Far closer than anyone thinks...
