Also picked up the signed indie bookshop edition of @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social's fabulous Quantum of Menace from @bforbutterflybooks.bsky.social . Q is out of MI6, but has his own mystery to solve. A must for any #JamesBond fan!

Ordered an in-stock book from well-known indie bookshop. No sign of it after a week. Chased it up, told it was in the queue for dispatch. Chased it again yesterday (2 wks later), told they'd given my order to packaging, order went out today. Wouldn't mind but it was in stock!

Can recommend, really enjoyed The Other People
Hi all. My lovely new book, THE OTHER PEOPLE, is out now in paperback. The Times called it one of their Crime Novels of the Year and obviously I agree. If you'd like to read it, please do. I think you'd enjoy it. Sorry, but I may be banging on about this for a while.

Bought some new book shelves. Twice the height of the existing ones so I’d have some room. They’re full already.
