The excellent @birminghamdispatch.bsky.social (which has done such great reporting on the flag epidemic over the last few months) delivers the goods again today with this deep dive into the Midlands mythology of Penda's Fen.

Update: we have sold a total of twelve books this month. "The end of the work is the possibility of connection, that the book, if it has been made well, might become 'a site of exchange', that it might have use and value to others, whether the others are many or few."
It may well be the case that small, independent presses are the lifeblood of literature, and a vital feature of our cultural landscape, providing an essential service in a complex ecosystem, like wrasses or shrimps. What is undeniably the case is that we have sold a total of five books this month.

When Justin suggested a Robert Ryan series one film jumped to the top of my list: ON DANGEROUS GROUND in which he plays a proto Dirty Harry who goes on a redemptive journey with Ida Lupino, and a cracking Bernard Herrmann score. Join #thefilmcrowd from 8pm this Monday!

I would love for someone to write the YA novel (or series of novels) where a well-dressed teenager with a love for classic detective fiction actually *is* called in by the French authorities to help solve improbable crimes.
