B.P. Walter Books In Order

Publication Order of Standalone Novels

B.P. Walter is a bestselling mystery author who made his debut when he penned “A Version of the Truth.”

The author was born and brought up in Essex and in his childhood and teenage years he was very much a compulsive reader.

He would then work in bookshops from when he was 16 until he was 23, even though he never thought of ever trying to write anything or becoming a novelist during this time.

He went through a period of thinking he wanted to write books as a thirteen-year-old but in his late teens, he was more interested in watching films and reading books rather than writing his own stories.

However, working in bookshops was important in retrospect, as it would show him just what was needed to become successful.

When he went to university, his obsession with TV drama and movies continued, even as he studied English & Film.

While he was at university, he became the editor of the student paper editing the film section. He got to interview brilliant directors and actors which was a lot of fun.

However, she always felt a need to create her own stories rather than write about the work of other people, and hence he turned his attention to fiction.

When he was very young, B.P. Walter believed that authors just sent their book off to the publishers, and then people would just buy it.

He would later learn that even if a book got published, it does not mean that it would become a success. Many thousands of novels just sit on a bookshelf at the store.

He came to realize that an author has to make the story compelling enough so that readers would pick it off the shelf and keep reading it. He learned how important a hook was and always tries to include in all of his novels.

Walter would also join the Faber Academy to study creative writing. This would prove instrumental in training him to write some great fiction. He was lucky to have Rowan Coleman the author as his tutor who provided plenty of inspiration and support.

B.P. would ultimately publish his debut novel “A Version of the Truth” in 2019 and follow it up with the Waterstones Book of the Month in “The Diner Guest” was published in 2021.

While B.P. Walter has achieved a lot of success as an author, she still works a day job at Waterstones coordinating their main social media channels.

When she is not working or writing her novels, she can usually be found reading books with her sisters with whom she has a “Siblings Book Club.” They usually get together about once a fortnight for a cup of hot chocolate and discussions on books.

Nearly three decades later, Holly is an Oxford University freshman nervous about her surroundings and struggling to get by.

But slowly she makes friends with some students with status and even develops feelings for one guy. He is a handsome and confident man who seems to be highly interested in her too.
