HEIDI PERKS chats to Paul Burke about her new Psychological thriller IT ENDS HERE, getting published, rejections and bestsellers, 

It Ends Here - You are one of five strangers whose day will start with the worst phone call imaginable.
Your loved one is in danger.
They are part of a group trapped in a café in a sleepy marina town.

• The young barista on the early shift
• The bestselling novelist looking for a writing spot
• The husband on his way back from a work trip
• The influencer mum whose picture-perfect life isn’t the whole truth
• The woman starting her birthday with a quiet coffee

As the hours tick by it will soon become clear that one of them has a secret they would kill to keep.
How well do you know the person closest to you?

HEIDI PERKS My first book published with Century, NOW YOU SEE HER, came out in July 2018. It became a Sunday Times Bestseller and a Richard and Judy book club pick, and in 2021 I received a silver Nielsen bestseller award for selling over 250,000 copies. Since then I have published five more novels: COME BACK FOR ME, THREE PERFECT LIARS, THE WHISPERS, THE OTHER GUEST and THE LAST RESORT.  Look out for my next novel, SOMEONE IS LYING which will be out in spring 2024. And I am currently writing my eighth book ready for 2026. Many of my books are set along the south coast of England, you may recognise some of the destinations. I live by the sea in Bournemouth and love this area with its beautiful spots that make perfect inspiration for the crime thrillers I write. I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I do writing them! If you would like to follow me please do on Instagram @Heidiperksauthor or on my Heidi Perks Facebook page.
