<p class="MsoNormal">That’s pretty much all I can tell you at this point.
Hopefully it’s enough of a flavour to whet your appetite.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you enjoyed any of my earlier novels, particularly 2019’s
<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0008223483/">My Sister’s Lies</a>, I think this one will be right up your alley.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The working title, which I chose when I first came up with
the concept, is My Father’s Daughter.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Don’t get too attached to that, though, as it will almost
certainly change before the book is released.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve recently finished structural edits on the manuscript,
in conjunction with my editor at Avon, and I’ll be on to line/copy edits in due
course.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hopefully we’ll have a final title and cover design to show
you before too long.<o:p></o:p></p>

I’m delighted to report that I’ve finished most of the editing work on my fifth novel, allowing me to take a break before I get to see the first page proofs in January.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
My publisher and I have now settled on a final title of How to Save a Life. Check out the blurb above for a taste of what it’s all about.<br />

That might sound quite far off, but it’s actually less than six months away. We’ll be there in no time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What’s more, it’s already available to pre-order (click <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0008374767/">HERE</a>). So what are you waiting for?<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><b>Plume by Will Wiles</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I was over the
moon when I heard Will Wiles had written a new novel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">His first two
books, Care of Wooden Floors and The Way Inn, were both instant favourites, despite
being wildly different from each other. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The former was
like an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm written by Magnus Mills; the latter was
pure surrealism, shifting from a satire about business conferences and hotel
chains to something more akin to The Matrix or Christopher Nolan’s Inception.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip35wqDWJ8hakRHJASYPEfLOVwuVuVpbJiBYjdT7VCXd_nu5w2z5sx7HBjPUiCaDyWsoAHyJ8jRRevhvrlEPEJuUSVgxm1kH1EM5CAxT0xhyHjQqBI0yAf3QRZ0MG1R89KOOFlF-1C3bEU/s1600/Plume.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="293" data-original-width="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip35wqDWJ8hakRHJASYPEfLOVwuVuVpbJiBYjdT7VCXd_nu5w2z5sx7HBjPUiCaDyWsoAHyJ8jRRevhvrlEPEJuUSVgxm1kH1EM5CAxT0xhyHjQqBI0yAf3QRZ0MG1R89KOOFlF-1C3bEU/s1600/Plume.webp" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">So I wondered
where on earth would Wiles go with book three. London, as it turns out, where
we see a boozy magazine journalist slowly losing his grip, trapped in a dying
industry while being swallowed up by modern city life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It’s a relentless
and suffocatingly gripping story that’s perfectly observed, sinister and yet
also wildly witty. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Wiles is a very talented writer who really ought to be more
widely known. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0008194416" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Plume</a><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> is out now, </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">published by Fourth Estate.</span></div>
