In Thou Shalt Not Kill, Sister Agnes is working at a homeless shelter when a sixteen-year-old runaway turns up, escaping something, or someone. But she later disappears without a trace, and she's not the only one. Luckily, Sister Agnes is on the case.

Some photos to bring Matt Novak to life. Matt Novak is an imaging officer featured in my short story Click, which I shared with Substack subscribers last month. Despite being a bit of a loner, he works with the police in West Yorkshire, helping to solve crimes.

This month's Substack is live! This month, subscribers received The Asphodel Meadows, a short story first published in the crime anthology The Book of Extraordinary Amateur Sleuths, edited by Maxim Jakubowski in 2019. substack.com/@alisonjosephau…

Who is Sister Agnes? She’s a contemporary nun from an open order, based in London. She lives in a tiny flat in Southwark and undertakes whatever work the order deems fit.

Some of Athena's favourite things. #bookcharacter #sisteragnes

My Substack is officially launched! This month, subscribers received Click, a short story about an imaging officer. If you'd like to read it for yourself and receive future updates, subscribe: substack.com/@alisonjosephau… #authorsubstack #substack

In The Earth Weighs Heavy, Frank Tillman entrusts Sister Agnes with a mysterious archive left by his father. How did you imagine it as you read the story? #mysterynovel #sisteragnes

Meet my beloved Eric Catona, named after the footballer Eric Cantona. He was seven when we inherited him, and although that may be a bit long in the tooth for a career change into modelling, I think he's proving it's never too late to start a new profession.

THOU SHALT NOT KILL. Every story has a turning point. This is one of them. I've linked the entire Sister Agnes catalogue in my bio. Explore the series there. 📚📷 #mysteryseries #crimeauthor #sisteragnes
