I’m not a fan of most superhero movies, but the new Superman film is great fun.

Just received these Turkish editions of Cry Baby. Love the cover. Huge thanks to @oliagent.bsky.social and the gang at AM Heath for the translation deal.

Two copies of the Turkish edition of my thriller Cry Baby.

This is Pentle Bay on Tresco, Isles of Scilly, just declared *prettiest beach in the uk* by a Kuoni poll.
It features in my thriller #WhatWeDidInTheStorm @ViperBooks, celebrating its first birthday this month. Gorgeous though it is, death can find you anywhere. 💙💀💙

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Title: Choose your seat in the literary festival event tent.

Image: lines of chairs set out in a tent, a stage at the front has two more chairs on it.

The chairs are colour-coded and labelled
1. Awkwardly close
2. Too far away
3. Good view / can't hear
4. Good sound / can't see
5. In a cold draught
6. Behind a giant
7. Between a chatter and a shusher
8. Very creaky chair
9. Great seat / wrong event

A single yellow chair is labelled:
10. Just right!

I think it’s certainly worth letting the publisher or author know.

David Jackson @davidjacksonwriter.bsky.social · May 18

Not sure. Can you try changing the font on your Kindle?

David Jackson @davidjacksonwriter.bsky.social · May 18

Very unusual for a publisher to send out an ms in a sans serif font and with no first line indentation. Is this an ebook? I’m wondering if your device isn’t reflecting the original formatting.
