This morning my editor @simonjedge at @EyeAndLightning Books told me that my novel’s webpage was going live. I am delighted that #TheMuseOfHopeFalls will be out in the world on 9th Nov ‘23. But u can preorder now #readingcommunity #bookbloggers eye-books.com/books/the-muse… #BookPromo

I’m delighted to see that the lovely people at @ThinkwellBooks have got a new book out. #TheRenegade by Chris Robinson is out now and available on all the usual platforms. See 👇 for more deets

@fly_press @AlanFraserCAS @commapress Just to be clear, these events were unrelated. I don’t compliment the book and then kidnap a pigeon to kill.

Highlights of day: @AlanFraserCAS naming The Others by Sheena Kalayil as the book he'd love to have published (at my @commapress industry day talk) Saving a baby seagull from MCR traffic death on way home and reuniting it with its family!

@danielcave_ I have been there, Dan. I went down to Wembley see us absolutely batter but somehow still lose to that dreadful Derby side in a playoff final, only to go down again 12 mths later to see us lose an FA Cup semi final against Pompey to Patrick Berger’s infamous handball goal.

@TheWritingAlan I was at Wembley, Alan. Heartbreak, and one very long train journey back. We didn't turn up. Shame. 🥲

This football season I fell in love with the twinkle feet of Albert Adomah, so there's that.

@IrigarayJulie @UttaranDasGupta @GregMLeadbetter I’m sure it’s not just ‘luck’, Julie. I suspect it’s predominately down to talent, hard work and a degree of perseverance. (And maybe a bit down to availability, too).

@danielcave_ That was a match (and indeed a tie) for the ages

Adore how the Inter players immediately go into the pit of fans after scoring. The debt the players feel they owe the fans in Italy hits like my ongoing student loan repayments - hard.

Words Fail Me by @Fran_McKendrick is ‘an electrifying tale of revenge, by a psychotherapist author, and a warning of the damage wrought by the internet’, says Saga Magazine @SagaUK amazon.co.uk/Words-Fail-Me-…

Was a pleasure to host the brilliant Karim Kattan, newly in translation for @FoundryEditions, in conversation at @vocebooks last night. An infectious conversation about vexed inheritance, queerness, the gothic, ghosts and soap opera family history - all set in Palestine.

@danielcave_ @FoundryEditions @vocebooks It was a great event, Dan. And brilliantly hosted by your good self.

Good Friday. Here's my poem, Man of Sorrows foreshadowmagazine.com/magazine/man-o…

Book 10 2025 read. Season by @GHarrisonWriter Totally recommend this book, An Old man/Young man bonding over their shared love...their football team. Both have very different important things in their life, but the love & worry for the team & it's results overshadows them all
