Flesh. Not quite what you might expect. But a gem written in a voice that makes you see the world through one man's eyes....and this is a simple but fascinating man. Unique. #writingcommunity #books #writing, #blueskybooks #writerslife

I was probably the only person not keen on #WolfHall by Hilary Mantel. BUT #Fludd is more of a gem. Not gripping. But funny and moving. #writingcommunity #books #writing #writerslife

Quite a taste of being an exile from your own land, in this #book. For London lovers. And those curious about #Libya. By Hisham Matar. #writingcommunity #books #writerslife #memoirs

A word of encouragement to #writers who need to cut back their #books, #WIP. I just hacked 111,000 words to 98,600 by clipping here and there. Gobsmacked it worked! #writingcommunity #writerslife #writing

Tariffs will give us growth? By raising input and retail prices? So companies must cut jobs and consumers reduce spending? I don't think so. Nor do most economists. Who is this guy? #Trump #liberationday #trumplies

He talks about chronic deficits as he brings on a big deficit for the second time. Tax cuts and more spending on defense and stopping immigration #Trump #liberationday #trumptariffs

He says tariffs came too late to save us from depression in 1929. Lie. It was the tariffs that helped bring the depression. #liberationday #Trump
