Cracker of a read from the mighty @dougjohnstone.bsky.social, out Aug 14th from @orendabooks. Taut, timeless and truly transcendent. You’ll never look at a polar bear the same again!

Thoroughly enjoyed my first @capitalcrime.bsky.social appearance yesterday, great historical fiction panel with @stephmerritt.bsky.social & Mel Pennant, expertly chaired by @clarewhitauthor.bsky.social - brava! @panmacmillan.bsky.social @jennybrownagency.bsky.social

Back from That Fancy London, catching up on this week's digital edition of @thebookseller.com. Either something's very awry with the listings, or there is a massive coincidence afoot! They can't all have sold exactly 54,608 copies each, right? Is this a secret code? A cry for help?

One of the few pix I took @capitalcrime.bsky.social today, at the signing table with my fellow panellists Mel Pennant, Clare Whitfield and S J Parris - what a blast! Thank you @davidhheadley.bsky.social, Lizzie, the @goldsborobooks.bsky.social team and all the wonderful volunteers.

Ooft. The Pizza Express at Edinburgh Airport is rubbish. Soggy, tasteless, disappointing. Won’t be going there again!
