So, I would very much like somebody to make this book already written, please. Alternatively, I could publish a summary and then just reassure everyone that, if I’d filled in the gaps, it would have been a work of art.
The whole team @picadorbooks is SO EXCITED that the amazing @BarristerSecret is writing a fiction series. Under the name S. J. Fleet, The Murderer's Dilemma will be one to watch! And I get to be their editor! Can not wait. @AitkenAlexander @ChrisWellbelove
Thrilled to share the news that The Secret Barrister's first novel THE MURDERER'S DILEMMA is coming in 2025, under the nom de plume of S.J. Fleet! @picadorbooks @BarristerSecret thebookseller.com/rights/the-sec…
🚨So. I have news. I’m writing a novel. A series, in fact, of legal thrillers. They are dark and uncomfortable and (I hope) authentic, and I really hope you like them. Oh, and I’m writing them under a new identity. Meet @SJFleetAuthor. Because one pseudonym is just not enough

@SJFleetAuthor How many loose horses rampaging through the streets of London have you included in chapter one ?
@SJFleetAuthor @BarristerSecret Very good 😀😀😀
@SJFleetAuthor @Beheshteh_E @Joanna__Hardy so ...the roof's falling in ... if only there was a literal way of conveying ...🤔
@BarristerSecret @radiomukhers @SJFleetAuthor Looking forward to reading this.
@BarristerSecret Think there’s a story here for @SJFleetAuthor Jesus H Christmas on a bike !!!!
JUST IN: California man arrested for allegedly eating a severed leg that he took from a pedestrian who was struck by a train. The incident happened in Wasco, California. According to police, 27-year-old Resendo Tellez removed a leg from an Amtrak Station. Tellez was seen… x.com/collinrugg/sta…
@SJFleetAuthor I’d offer but I just wrote “imminent” instead of “eminent” so I don’t think I should be allowed near words.
@SJFleetAuthor @DefenceFaithful @BarristerSecret “HHJ tipped their glasses to the end of their nose, and looking over them exclaimed, ‘they can’t deliver the defendant before 4.30pm?’ A pause, significant, “the prison is less than 10 miles away and it’s only 10.30” A wave of frustration and incredulity washed across the court
@SJFleetAuthor You are just over complicating it. You think the Murderer’s Dilemma needs to relate to something murdery rather than what to have for tea.
@BarristerSecret @SJFleetAuthor Can't wait. Audible at the same time.
@SJFleetAuthor That’s why the editing stage is so good. That REALLY drains the will to live, but also really fires you up to write a completely different story next, even if only to put the one you’ve been working on behind you!!
@BarristerSecret @SJFleetAuthor And the tensions builds page by gripping page until the last thrilling chapter: The Trial. Defendants tremble in the dock. CPS paralegal gets to her feet. ‘Your Honour we have tried 131 chambers and unfortunately no one could be found to prosecute this trial today’.
@SJFleetAuthor Then they woke up and it was all a dream.
@SJFleetAuthor Drags at this stage, doesn’t it!!
@SJFleetAuthor We want it *now*, so please hurry up and finish it...
@SJFleetAuthor Is this the dilemma that the murderer will be facing? Don't give the plot away just yet...
@MsAndreaCEHenry @SJFleetAuthor @picadorbooks @BarristerSecret @AitkenAlexander @ChrisWellbelove Please can SJ Fleet belong to Foote Court chambers. Ta. 😀
🚨So. I have news. I’m writing a novel. A series, in fact, of legal thrillers. They are dark and uncomfortable and (I hope) authentic, and I really hope you like them. Oh, and I’m writing them under a new identity. Meet @SJFleetAuthor. Because one pseudonym is just not enough
