Author Paul Pilkington takes you behind the scenes of the bestselling suspense mystery trilogy, and reveals all about his story of self-publishing success. Discover more about the characters, the settings, and the plots that have gripped hundreds of thousands of readers worldwide.
In 2011, Paul self-published the first novel in his Emma Holden trilogy, The One You Love. The novel has been downloaded over three million times, and has spent over two and a half years in the UK and US Kindle top 100 free chart, reaching number one in both countries. The bestselling second book in the series, The One You Fear, was named as one of the Best Kindle Books of 2013 (Editors’ choice in the UK Kindle Store). The final instalment, The One You Trust, was self-published in the US and Canada and published by Hodder and Stoughton in the UK and elsewhere in August 2014. With his trademark twists, turns, and cliff-hangers, Paul is also the author of standalone suspense mystery Someone to Save You, which is also a worldwide bestseller.
Note from Paul: “I’ve had an amazing few years, since I self-published The One You Love, back in 2011. Now the trilogy is complete, I wanted to document my experiences so far, and also explore the world of Emma Holden and her friends in greater depth. I’ve had contact from readers all over the world, who have followed the story of Emma and her friends, and I hope they’ll enjoy hearing about how this all came to be. This is the story of Emma Holden and me, in my own words.”
