Iceland is extraordinary. This beach is very much like death - and has taken many lives.

New book announcement! Hawthorne 4 is published 18/8/22...assuming I finish it in time. About 20,000 words to go. Great cover though.

So 101,088 is the magic number. The final word count of NIGHTSHADE which I finished one minute ago. 🍾🍾🍾 The longest Alex Rider yet!

Just written the 40,000th word of my new Hawthorne novel... I'd like to say it's "murder". But, annoyingly, it's "the".

Hooray. Very close to the end of the new Hawthorne - and the 80,000th word is actually the name of the killer!

First sighting of the cover! What do you think? The book is set in Alderney.
@AnthonyHorowitz has a new book coming out in August and I can only marvel at how one author can be so prolific.

It’s incredible to think that it’s been twenty-five years since my reluctant teenage spy first sprang to life in Stormbreaker. Since then, there have been thirteen more books, a feature film, three series on television... ven.so/alex25

My publisher will break both my legs if I don't retweet this.
Just finished the new @AnthonyHorowitz book 'Moonflower Murders'. Absolutlely loved it. So, clever, just masterful stuff.

This is quite an exciting announcement. It was a devil of a job writing the scripts!
Magpie Murders, a new drama based on the bestselling novel written by @AnthonyHorowitz, is coming to MASTERPIECE. More details via @DEADLINE: deadline.com/2020/07/magpie-…

The 84,442nd word of my new novel is "out". Which is appropriate because it's the last word! (I don't count THE END). Now for a KitKat!

My publishers have tracked me down to Crete. "Can you share the title of the fifth Hawthorne novel?" OK - it's CLOSE TO DEATH. "Can you mention it's out in March next year and available to pre-order?" Sure...it's here. linktr.ee/AnthonyHorowitz"

Not the most exciting word in the dictionary but I'm excited. It's the 50,000th word of my new Alex Rider novel.

Hawthorne will be pleased to know that his name is the 40,000th word of my new book. It means I'm almost half-way through.

70,007: "scar". My Bond novel is now longer than Moonraker and Diamonds are for Ever. But it won't be as long as From Russia With Love.

Do watch this if you're in and the rain is still lashing down. A touch of summer in this dreary spring.

Happy to report that the 60,000th word of my new Hawthorne novel is "skull". Won't say who it belongs to - or what happens to it.

Rather pleased to have reached the 30,000th word of Hawthorne 4. And it's 'Heartbeat' - the name of a TV show in the 80s.

I've reached the 50,000th word of the new Bond novel. Disappointingly, it's "and". That is, however, one of the words of the title.

So here's the OFFICIAL COVER of the new Alex Rider novel - out June. My kindly publishers have allowed me to share it. What do you think?

So I've hit the 70,000th word of my new book. It's "packet" - a reminder that, I'm afraid, Hawthorne smokes. On the home run now to the end.

Not sure what makes me happier. Being in the NY Times bestseller list or seeing the delightful new title they've given to 'Atticus Pünd Takes the Case.'

#MoonflowerMurders is out 20th August and you can preorder a signed copy with extra content from @Waterstones here: bit.ly/2JQJQqc (My publishers *asked* me to post this.)

Over 750,000 UK children do not have a library at their primary school. Supporting the #LibrariesForPrimaries campaign to get a library into every primary school is a non-brainer. It's like saying it would be good if all hospitals had medicine! librariesforprimaries.org.uk

Interesting coincidence. the 50,007th word of my new Bond novel is M again - but this time as in 9mm (the calibre of the weapon). Only four and a half chapters left to write!

So finally it's out. Alex is an Amazon Original. Can't wait for you to meet Otto, Brennock and the gang! piped.video/watch?v=4HEzyvRB… #AlexRider
