ITS BOOK LAUNCH DAY!!!!!
Louise was born and lives in South Wales, yes thats right, not actually far from host Chris Aggett!
Louise studied English Literature at university and graduated with first class honours. As a teacher she tried to pass on her love of reading to her students (and discovered that the secret to successful teaching is\u2026 stickers! She is aware that that is, essentially, bribery.)
In the summer of 2019 Louise experienced a once-in-a-lifetime moment: she was discovered as a new writer by her publisher at the Primadonna Festival. Everything has been a bit of a whirlwind since then.
Louise lives in Cardiff with her husband and spends her time trying to get down on paper all the marvellous and frightening things that happen in her head.
Louise\u2019s debut #novel, Sleepless, a \u201cfrighteningly inventive\u201d thriller inspired by her own insomnia, was published in December 2020 by HQ HarperCollins. A UK Amazon Kindle Top 50 bestseller, it was the Asda Karin Slaughter Killer Read for July 2021. Her second #thriller, The Safe House, is published in May and if you are watching this live, then it is #publication day for Louise!
The Safe House: https://www.louisemumfordauthor.com/the-safe-house
She told you the house would keep you safe. She lied.
Esther is safe in the house. For sixteen years, she and her mother have lived off the grid, protected from the dangers of the outside world. For sixteen years, Esther has never seen another single soul.
Until today.
Today there\u2019s a man outside the house. A man who knows Esther\u2019s name, and who proves that her mother\u2019s claims about the outside world are false. A man who is telling Esther that she\u2019s been living a lie.
Is her mother keeping Esther safe \u2013 or keeping her prisoner?
