So sad to hear this news. Chris was a huge influence on my writing and was very generous to me when I was first published. I will miss the excitement of a new Shardlake book - but what a legacy he leaves. His novels will be read for years to come 💔
It is with immense sadness that Pan Macmillan announces the death of C.J. Sansom at the age of 71.

65 days now on the diet. Few carbs. No booze. Walking about 3 miles a day (so quite gentle). I've lost 16 pounds. The maniac husband has lost 2 and a half stone! Though he's been going to the gym most days too. It's not been too bad, given we are total gluttons!

2 weeks of our diet left (until January when we plan to pick it up again). We've been doing it ten weeks and I've lost 18 pounds. My husband has lost 35 pounds, so he's feeling VERY smug. Although all his trousers are falling down. He looks great though!

I find the first 25% of a novel the hardest part and usually takes me longest. Getting that foundation right is tricky. The end is in the beginning and all of that. But I think I've worked out how to tell this story now and I'm one chapter away from getting that first 1/4 down.

I'm feeling quite emotional. THE SQUARE OF SEVENS was only released on Netgalley two days ago and three determined darlings have already read it (it's fair to say it's not a short book!) They all gave it 5 stars. It means such a lot after all the months of writing and research ❤️
