Honestly, here mostly to shout about my #resist middlegrade trilogy about a #1930s girlgang rescuing kids from the fiendish plots of the Blackshirts, the British far right of the 20s and 30s. she/her jmcarr.com

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

This is serious. New polling shows Reform UK surging—they could win 67 seats and become one of the biggest parties in Parliament. They’re building a ruthless campaign machine to push their far-right agenda. We need to fight back. Will you join me? www.stop-reform.org @hopenothate.org.uk

My first book is free. scgowland.com/contact/ “Epic fantasy at its best…” “A fantastic read, full of snappy dialogue and emotional resonance.” "Honestly it's a breath of fresh air in fantasy. Highly recommend."

Writing anything worth reading is hard. I’m never sure if i’ve managed it but at least I’ve entertained myself and escaped from the real world for a while. I have tips - don’t we all? Here’s one… #booksky #amwriting #author www.jmcarr.com/post/how-to-...

“A swashbuckling, anti-fascist, inclusive and girl-empowering page turner!” “I really loved this book. It's funny, charming, heart wrenching and a perfect read for anyone looking for something to make you feel good about the world.” www.jmcarr.com/twg1 #1930s #antifascist #kindle #BookSky #Books

Starting prep for #WorldBookDay25 with image and video searches about #TheBattleofCableStreet Love this one (that I can’t use in school sadly) from #TheMenTheyCouldn’tHang #TheWonderGirls #Booksky youtu.be/Vv9iZ6Aj8oM?...

Working through the UK’s libraries to tell them about *The Wonder Girls*. If you’re independent like me and want your books in libraries, go to www.askewsandholts.com/AskHolts/Sel... And here’s a great film from 1989 about how they get on the shelves. #BookSky #libraries youtu.be/1beMIrogz24?...

#Conclave the film is one of those rare examples of the film being a smidge better than the book. Although Robert Harris is brilliant and Conclave the book is brilliant but the film misses those bits where i’m thinking ‘why am I reading about the machinations of the Catholic church?

#BlackDoves now watched to end - i was curious. My mostly #spoilerfree concluion…The ending is ridiculously protracted sentimental and silly. Plus the reveal was not a reveal for the story just the actor. Still 5.5/10

#BlackDoves the motivations rely too much on flashbacks so i don’t care about the dead bfriend. The timeline is defined by haircuts- however this fails when k knightley has same long hair 2017 as in present day however twin bump does help.
