Don’t Close Your Eyes is now in paperback!

4th January 2018

…So the day is finally here. My second novel, Don’t Close Your Eyes, is published in paperback in the UK and Ireland!

Paperback cover for Don't Close Your Eyes by Holly Seddon

I’m still in The Netherlands for the moment, glamorously dealing with my son’s chicken pox and using my literary skills to do loads of laundry as we’ve still not caught up after Christmas’s Norovirus outbreak.

But I’m vicariously living through friends and readers who are kindly sharing pictures of tube and rail posters like this one from my schoolfriend Charlotte. Isn’t it beautiful? I’m so grateful to my publisher, Corvus Books.

It’s an absolute privilege to publish a second book, and I really hope you enjoy it.

And it’s out! Nearly a year since I wrote ‘THE END’ (metaphorically anyway, I don’t actually write that), it’s finally out!

I had the most amazing launch party, the most horrific hangover and am now knee deep into the edits on book three…

You can buy Don’t Close Your Eyes from Amazon, iBooks, Kobo and all good retailers! Woohoo!

And if you’ve already read it and would like to leave a review, I’d be immensely grateful.

I’m over the moon to say that Try Not to Breathe is currently the number one bestselling audiobook on Amazon.co.uk.

I love the way the vocal actors bring my characters to life in this version, and if you’ve not heard it yet it’s currently just 99p.

I love listening to audiobooks myself, especially on long trips. With a lot of schlepping about coming up for Christmas, I hope that Amy, Alex and Jacob can brighten a few of your journeys.
