"As rich and as vibrant in detail as any of Shakespeare’s plays, Thieves’ Castle has it all — warring houses, intrigues, violence, love, death, a spymaster, & a plot that will keep you up until late into the night" #Histfic #TudorTuesday amzn.to/2m6u6GX

A review of Black Dog by Dean Hamilton @Tyburn__Tree A Tyburn Filos bookreviewsandmore.ca/2026/01/black-… Novella Writing short fiction is a very different skill than long form fiction. Hamilton has proved a master of the shorter form and I look forward to exploring his novels. In some ways this reads Elizabethan Age Jack Reacher or John Wick. Tyburn won't let a bully get away with being a thug, and he killed a dog! This is a great novella and it leaves you wanting more. Fortunately it is followed by 2 novels. This is great historical fiction. An action story I can easily recommend. #HistoricalFiction #BookReview

@TimCPeel20 You get the respect you give. When the US president is opening threatening to annex Canada, insulting the country & calling the PM "governor of the 51st state", you think it is uncalled for or a surprise if Canadians express their anger? Grow up.

The National Anthems are to pay respect to the people that have served and sacrificed for their country and continue to serve. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

This is why I still love twitter It's enormous fun 🤗

@JHMoorebooks I think that's arrant nonsense. It is far more likely that other elements like gaming, social media etc. have displaced/replaced casual reading time. I suspect the claim that it is "feminization" is more an attack on that topic than a valid claim.

Apparently there has been talk of a study indicating most men don't read for pleasure anymore. I was listening to a podcast the other day complaining that it was due to the feminization of the publication industry. I'm a bit dubious in this. What are your thoughts?

Bye!

...in plain sight, and continued denial of this is to embrace that fact. But at the end of the day, it's just a social media site, a bad one now, thanks to Elon. So Kodi and I are departing to bluer skies and green fields. Feel free to look us up. All the best!

The last few years on this platform have steadily eroded the content, lending impetus to people's worst impulses. It has steadily become a hotbed of misinformation, political extremism, racism, misogyny, overt Nazism & just plain nastiness. It has crept into every corner...

Well, I'm done. Can't stay on this platform any longer. I'll be shifting over to Blues*y & shuttering my acct here for the foreseeable future. Thanks to the writers, historians, journalists, & fabulous creators who, for a time, made this a great platform. But things change...

@DlawsonAuthor The harsh reality is that there really isn't any great ad marketing mechanisms for indie books - FB, Goodreads, Amazon - all are problematic. Breaking even on your ads is an achievement. Bookbub paid ads are slightly better so you might want to try there.

@DlawsonAuthor I suggest tying it into a "sale" of some type - like the Amazon KDP Select program so you can tout the reduced sale price to incite more clicks. Problem is that when you drop your book price, you also drop your royalty so now you need to sell more books to cover the costs.

Well, after a day and a half of Facebook ads, I have a whopping zero sales and zero page reads off supposed 32,000 impressions and 285 link clicks…

@MichaelSteele Well, it burns....

As he swore the oat of office, Trump did not place his hand on the Bible.

@BretDevereaux Damn. I would take that.

I have proposed a 'War and Society in the Ancient Mediterranean' course everywhere I have taught and everywhere I've interviewed and no one has taken me up on it, which always baffled me, as it would obviously enroll well. But mil-hist makes some folks squeamish.

@ColinSpenc4257 Oh, you sweet summer child...

Who Remembers.

@ChrisCuomo Sure Jan, that's likely....

Here is hoping for a re-set that makes the American people the priority and the goal of Congress focusing on us not each other. Amen. What can this administration DO for the majority of Americans? We will see

@krassenstein @Ders_Island If you are stupid enough to buy into anything Trump puts out, well… FAFO.

@Ders_Island Sure but presidents should also avoid launching $60 billion cash grab shitcoins.

“A SICK JOKE” The number of Bitcoin investors who supported Trump and have reached out to me in a panic today after the launch of the $Melania coin has been overwhelming. They are confused, disappointed, and struggling to process what’s happening.

@Riley_Gaines_ I suspect he's pardoning him due to the fact that a vengeful, narcissistic incompetent orange huckster who has openly stated wants revenge on his supposed enemies, is assuming the presidency. I'd have thought that was fairly clear...

Ask yourself this: Why would Joe Biden pardon Fauci if he wasn't a criminal who should be locked up for his lies, negligence, & greed that killed innocent Americans? Biden was already going out in shame and disgrace, but this is a new low.

@PierrePoilievre Do you actually have any policy stances aside from screaming "carbon tax", finger-pointing and calling people names? Or is this an entirely "Trumpian" exercise in politicking for you?

Carbon Tax Karina will try to sneakily rename the carbon tax and stick with Trudeau's plan to QUADRUPLE it to $0.61/L. Because she's Just Like Justin: justlikejustin.ca/karina-gould/
