I don't normally read reviews, but I'm writing Lombard 3 and was looking to see how the character is being received...

Ah, that's all gooseoil, I'm showing off.

London hotels are so expensive tonight, it's cheaper to book a last minute Eurostar to Paris, get a train from there, pick the car up and drive home. Perfect.

I wake up in my own bed.

Right, that's 16000 words since Monday. Now to re-read all 71000 and try to knit the spaghetti into a dénouement.

Obligatory back to school photo. Back to the UK to host an awards ceremony and record my Jeeves and Wooster short story for the new Wodehouse anthology. Driving too because we've run out of mini cheddars.

Wracked as I am today with arthritic pain, I seek solace in vanity.

Here are some lovely reviews from the US for Death & Boules.

Just prepping my next audiobook recording. No Biggie.

The laziness and implied bias of the BBC here is extreme - "No 10 did not comment" presumably because the CPS and courts are independent, but there's no attempt to find anyone who would argue the opposite view, just the unchallenged whine of someone who called for asylum seekers to be burnt to death

what the fuck is this headline from the BBC, I feel like I'm losing my mind www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lucy Connolly says she was political prisoner over Southport post

She gives her first newspaper interview after being released from prison.

Remarkable how many cuts of meat sound like veteran news anchors facing multiple accusations of workplace harassment:

It was such an honour to be asked to contribute to this new anthology. Grab a pre-order bargain while you can. #Wodehouse

Massively missed being at #theakstonscrime this year.
So here's a needy post to remind myself I exist!

It's a Mortimer and Whitehouse kind of morning. Only I've got no Whitehouse. Or Mortimer. Or fishing tackle. Anyway, I'm by a river.

Ian Moore @ianmooreauthor.bsky.social · Jul 12

Oh yes.

Ian Moore @ianmooreauthor.bsky.social · Jul 12

Saturday morning office. I may only be only on one leg again, but this is the life!

It's not been out a month yet and already Death and Boules has 400 reviews and enjoying a pincer movement on the UK cosy charts.

Thanks to everyone who has bought it so far, and to the reviewers.
