Falmouth!* Come see me and Jonn talk about all the things at Falmouth Book Festival! It will be a very fun evening as he shouts about borders and I shout about the apocalypse and we both shout about conspiracy theories probably.

*and surrounding areas such as Penryn

Two weeks' today, @tom-phillips.com and I are having a lovely chat at the Falmouth Book Festival. Come along, and watch me torn limb from limb by a rampaging mob of Mebyon Kernow activists, while Tom laughs that I got what I asked for!

Romance scam warning...

luckily it was in 1749 tho.

Over the summer I audiobooked "The Art of A Lie" a historical fiction murder mystery by Laura Shepherd-Robinson. A brilliant novel, especially as I thought it set out a persuasive story of how cons work, some of you may enjoy it.
