SUSAN`S NEXT BOOKS

It is quiet now as I get on with writing the last chapters of the next Simon Serrailler crime novel, THE SHADOWS IN THE STREET, which will be out in March 2010.

SEPTEMBER THIS YEAR sees the paperback publication of the last one THE VOWS OF SILENCE. Vintage Books have given it a stunning jacket and at the same time are re-launching the whole Serrailler series in  new cover designs.  You can pre-order from amazon but also if you would like an early SIGNED COPY of the paperback please e-mail signed@susan-hill.com.

Howard's End is
on the Landing

HOWARD`S END IS ON THE LANDING. A Year of Reading from Home, is published in OCTOBER by Profile Books.
Here is the jacket blurb.

'Early one autumn afternoon, in pursuit of an elusive book on her shelves, Susan Hill encountered dozens of others that she had never read, or forgotten she owned, or wanted to read again. The discovery inspired her to embark on a year-long voyage through her books, forsaking new purchases in order to become reacquainted with her own collection.

A book which is left on a shelf for a decade is a dead thing, but it is also a chrysalis, packed with the potential to burst into new life. Wandering through her home that day, Hill’s eyes were opened to how much of that life was stored there, neglected for years. Howard’s End is on the Landing charts the journey of one of the nation’s most accomplished authors as she revisits the conversations, libraries and bookshelves of the past that have informed a lifetime of reading and writing.'

I will be doing an appearance at the Cheltenham Festival of Literature on October 15th to talk about it. Other dates to follow.

Again, you can pre-order from amazon or pre-order SIGNED FIRST EDITION direct from signed@susan-hill.com
