The Psychopath Next Door is out on Jan 28 and, as is traditional, I’ll be throwing a live launch party over on my FB page. I’ll be giving away signed books, doing a short reading, answering your questions and revealing all about my next novel. The link is in my bio, or search Mark Edwards author on FB and follow my page. It kicks off at 8pm UK/3pm ET.

I found out yesterday that my Amazon-published books have reached a frankly-mind-blowing 5 million sales. If you’re one of the people who has contributed, perhaps multiple times, to that number - you’re the best! I promise to keep putting ordinary people in scary situations, creating terrifying everyday villains and always ensuring the cat survives. 5 million thanks!

In case you didn’t know, I have two books out this year. The Psychopath Next Door is out next week (28) and in July, my first Penguin Michael Joseph book, The Wasp Trap, will be published. Excitingly, proofs of The Wasp Trap have landed at the Penguin office… and if you sign up to my newsletter (link in bio) I’m going to be doing a cover reveal and a proof giveaway very soon. I should also have news about American publication to share soon too. It’s all happening!!

Giveaway time! I have two signed copies of The Psychopath Next Door up for grabs. It’s out Jan 28 and is about a psychopathic woman who believes the little girl next door is just like her - and sets out to teach her how to be evil. It’s dark, twisted and picking up rave reviews from early readers. You can preorder now by searching Amazon.

To enter the giveaway simply like this post and leave a comment. For two extra entries, share it as a story on Instagram or a post on Facebook. Open worldwide. Closes midnight UK time Jan 16th. Good luck! 🤞

Thank you, Apple Watch, for the heads up! The Psychopath Next Door, by some bloke called Mark Edwards, is out on Jan 28th. It’s about a psychopath named Fiona who decides to take the little girl next door under her wing and teach her how to be evil. If you liked The Magpies and Here To Stay, you’ll love it. To preorder, just search ‘psychopath mark edwards’ on Amazon.

Happy New Year! I have my favourite wine - Sancerre, in case anyone ever wants to buy me a drink - and we are having a family game night. I’m very excited about 2025. Two books coming, including my first traditionally-published hardback, The Wasp Trap. You will be hearing a LOT about that but in the meantime, I hope your 2025 is happy, healthy, fun and fulfilling. Cheers!
