New Books, Pre-order signed copies, and more for 2026...

US Tour, UK news, and Eddie Flynn turns ten.

Hi folks,

It’s been a while.

I hope you’re all well.

The main reason I haven’t been sending out these updates is that my head has been fully immersed in a new book. A new Eddie Flynn, in fact. More about that a little later. I do want to give everyone a quick overview of what is happening so far this year, some early hints as to where I will be doing events and what new books you can expect from me.

USA

First of all, to all my lovely US Readers.

Thank you for the wonderful reception last year. I had a blast travelling around the US and meeting so many of you. I think Witness 8 went down very well with US readers and, coincidentally, is now out in paperback!

US readers have waited long enough for Two Kinds of Stranger, and I’m delighted that I’ll be doing a short visit to help promote the book. I’ll be in New York, Cleveland Ohio, Indiana and North Carolina. Full details right here…

For the New York event, you don’t need a ticket, just come along and enjoy the evening.

TICKETS to the other events are available below.

If you can’t make any of the events but you want a signed copy of TWO KINDS OF STRANGER why not order one by clicking right here…

UK

This year I’ll be kicking off events at the Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate, as a special guest of the festival in July. It’s always a great weekend at the Old Swann and I hope to see a lot of you there.

Here’s some pics from the Festival from over the years, including a snap of the last audience I had there in 2023, which was fun. You may notice, right before some of these pictures have been taken, someone has given me a pint of beer to hold. Very odd. I’m sure you know some of the other authors in these pictures, there are no prizes for spotting them, I’m afraid.

And now to new books.

July will also see the launch of the brand new Eddie Flynn thriller, ONE OF US IS GUILTY.

No cover yet, folks, but it’s coming soon and I will share it here when it’s ready. Until then, you can pre-order!

PRE-ORDER BY HITTING THE BUTTON BELOW…

I will be able to tell you a lot more about the new book in the next update. I will also let you know more when I can about UK Tour dates which I’m hugely looking forward to.

I will also be getting as far as Germany and Austria this year to meet some more great readers, more details on that when I have it.

EDDIE FLYNN 10

ONE OF US IS GUILTY is, quite unbelievably for me, the TENTH Eddie Flynn book. I can’t really process that yet. As you may know, I’ve written two standalone novels as well, but getting the tenth story in the Eddie Flynn series into the world is a bit of a milestone for me. So I thought in these regular instalments I will share more about writing those books. So you can see exactly where the character has come from, and how he has developed. Of course, I always say you can read the series in any order, and I make sure that every novel works as a standalone for the new reader, and a welcome return for series fans.

Next time I send an update I will include a little section on writing The Defense, the first in the series, what it was like, and how it happened. Which is also the story of how I became a writer.

I will also share more on what I’m up to this year.

So, I don’t want to take up too much of your time, just to say again, my enormous thanks to you for reading my books and recommending them.

More soon.

Let’s hope 2026 is a good year for all of us.

My very best wishes to you, and your family,

Steve Cavanagh.
