My new book Saltburn now has its own site.
With links to buy, reviews, soundtrack and interviews.

(And I recommend LinkTree to writers as it’s quick to set up and maintain.)

After my calamitous bike accident had my first physio today. At a training centre with a lovely young man. I’ll see you out, he said at the end. Turn right and you end up in the morgue.

Currently, there are 75 copies of A Short History of the Future with the distributors, (@gardnersbooks.bsky.social) and an unknown number at @northodoxpress.bsky.social. When they're sold, that's it - no new print runs!
If you ever wanted a print copy - get one before they're all gone!

Stop filling me with festive cheer, I may become human 💘😭💘
I was very excited to recommend “A Good Year” by the wonderful @polisloizou.bsky.social for the Christmas meeting of my local LGBTQ+ book club. I was so excited in fact I’ve finished it almost a month early. Highly recommended, especially if you love folklore and superstition.

Best film I’ve seen this year. Sorry, Baby. Sexual abuse, female friendship, sex, life. Full of perfect funny and sad moments. I’m reminded of the lobster scene in Annie Hall, completely natural and spontaneous but obviously not.

Yesterday I was up at 7. Wrote/read for 3 hours. Cycled to optician. Cycled to W’s. Walked dogs. Cycled to dentist. Realised I’d got a puncture. Cycled to bike shop. Cycled home. Made pasta. Drank wine. Eat all the chocolate biscuits. Watched Scotland qualify for World Cup!
