A great evening @blackwellsmcr.bsky.social ...
The fact that @talkscaredpod.bsky.social and @manylittlewords.bsky.social are amazing insightful speakers, as well as super talented horror writers is probably not fair!
Stoked to have had the pleasure to attend tonight's sold out event 🖤
Thanks!

Good morning.

The next 10 days are going to be absolutely brilliant.

I would like to thank all the Indy booksellers who have made _Leonard and Hungry Paul_ @ronanhession.bsky.social a word of mouth bestseller.

With a special nod to.

Cannot recommend these 3 enough.

And, legitimately, all 3 are based on real things!

-One as the author's experience as an outsider
-One about the accusations thrown at real women
-One about the real British military research into magic to battle rumoured Nazi occult powers 😅

Takes hours and every ounce of strength. As she sits by his bed Alice’s lungs grasp at the last remaining atoms of hot and fetid air.
And still the magpie stays."

Am actually quite moved to read the thoughts of the actors and director about Leonard and Hungry Paul.

I honestly never expected any of this. I was just typing away for my own entertainment and a book popped out.

www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Leonard and Hungry Paul cast and Director on telling a story about kindness, friendship, and the quiet heroism of everyday life -

The feel-good series stars Alex Lawther, Laurie Kynaston and Jamie-Lee O’Donnell, with Julia Roberts as narrator

Huge thank you to every person and bookshop that's ordered Ravenglass and made it stonking success so far 😍

This gripping and powerful tale of gender-fluid Kit/Stella traversing the world in the 1700s is very relevant in today's climate!
