1. What genre do you indulge in as a publisher? As a reader? Bloodhound Books, the publishing company I set up with my husband in 2014 focuses on crime and thriller novels. These are the books I love to read and have always read. Despite the fact my job is now books I still read this genre all the time for pleasure. I do also really enjoy reading horror. I’ve read most of Stephen Kings novels and loved the books by James Herbert. As a writer myself, I tend not to read when I am trying to write. 2. What writers/books would you recommend people indulge in from your line-up now? We have lots of exciting new titles coming up. The Abandoned by Sharon Thompson is an excellent crime thriller from a debut novelist. Little Bird is a great book we published last year by Sharon Dempsey and is the start of a brand new police series. Another exciting title we have is Midday by David Lyons, who is also a debut novelist. His book is a character driven thriller that I’m sure will do really well and is full of twists and turns.  One of the best things about publishing crime fiction is that it is such a broad umbrella. Our titles cover everything from police procedurals, action thrillers, psychological thrillers, historical crime fiction, to suspense and dystopian. So there is something that will appeal to everyone. 

3. What might you be looking to publish in the future? We now work with over 70 authors and our publication schedule is completely booked up to the end of June, but Keep eyes open for when we accpet submissions without agents. I love psychological thrillers with a dark edge and always get excited when one lands on my desk. 4. Why should readers indulge in your books? Where can do so?  Our focus in on our ebook sales but we do produce paperbacks for every title we publish. All our books are available on Amazon and can be ordered through most good book shops. We’ve been very fortunate to hear from readers who are kind enough to tells us how much then enjoy the books we publish. Crime fiction remains the most popular genre today for a good reason.

The deliciously sinister new novel from the No 1 bestselling author of Richard and Judy Book Club pick, Lying in Wait 'I could probably have been an actress. It is not difficult to pretend to be somebody else. Isn't that what I've been doing for most of my life?' Cordelia Russell has been living on the French Riviera for twenty-five years, passing herself off as an English socialite. But her luck, and the kindness of strangers, have run out. The arrival of a visitor from her distant past shocks Cordelia. She reacts violently to the intrusion and flees her flat to spend a drunken night at a glittering party. As dawn breaks she stumbles home through the back streets. Even before she opens her door she can hear the flies buzzing. She did not expect the corpse inside to start decomposing quite so quickly. I love Liz's books and am reading this now. WOW.
