February is off to a cracking start (and middle!) here at TBP with lots of brilliant books published and exciting announcements having been made this week!
Books Published
On the 15th of February, the paperback edition of FREE YOUR MIND, the Sunday Times Bestseller by Laura Dodsworth & Patrick Fagan was published!
Free Your Mind is your field manual to surviving the information battlefield. In this indispensable book, its authors draw on interviews with mind-control experts ranging from monks to magicians, infiltrate cults and forums to uncover their most deceptive techniques and expose the hidden tactics used to influence you, from social media to subliminal messages.

The 15th of February was a double publication day at The Blair Partnership! On this day, Nicole Goodman & Lauren Mishcon’s (aka Self Care Club) HAVE YOU TRIED THIS? was also published, which you can buy here.
In a world full of wellness warriors, potions and lotions, health fads and bubble baths, all promising to make you feel better, Lauren and Nicole use their experiences to debunk the wellness world and bring true, authentic self-care centre stage. The book is packed with effective practices that cost nothing and take very little time. Every practice included has been tried and tested by Lauren and Nicole (with varying results!). Their unlikely friendship offering two very unique perspectives on the same activity!
Our final publication this week was THE MISSING WIFE by Sue Fortin, a domestic suspense novel that is sure to keep you turning its pages (published on the 16th of February).
Everyone knows about the fight between Kathleen Walsh and her sister on the night she disappeared. For six months, no one has heard from Kathleen. Not her bullying husband, not her teenage son, and not her devastated sister Siobhan. But then Kathleen’s purse is found by a walker high up on the rocky Irish cliffs. The only thing inside is a torn scrap of paper with the words ‘HELP ME’.

Celebrations
In anticipation of Nicole Goodman & Lauren Mishcon’s HAVE YOU TRIED THIS? publication, the Self Care Club duo celebrated alongside Hattie via a book launch party on the 13th of February. Safe to say they had a fabulous time!
On Valentine’s Day, Celine Saintclare’s SUGAR, BABY was interviewed by and featured on VICE TV’s social media channels where she talked all about her debut novel. This is just one example of how the book is continuing to receive bundles of love since its UK publication last year and its more recent US publication in January this year.

Non-Bookish News
To celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, Chris Simpson has collaborated with Northern Monk Brewery to feature illustrations on one of the brewery’s IPA labels. Nothing says ‘I love you’ better than cracking open a cold one featuring some slightly disturbing artwork, right? Buy your own can here!
In other news, on the 15th of February, it was announced via The Bookseller that The Blair Partnership will now represent ‘Peter Pan’ and Neverland for Great Ormond Street! It’s truly an honour to be able to work with a fictional universe that has such a wonderful, rich, and historic legacy, and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes us (and Peter and co!)
Calling all fans of the brilliant Strike TV series! On the 14th of February, it was announced that Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger will be returning for the next instalment of STRIKE – THE INK BLACK HEART, the sixth story of BBC’s hit crime drama based on J.K. Rowling’s best-selling crime novels written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
