This was a lovely belated Christmas present: a full-page review of Fiesta in the latest issue of the esteemed Times Literary Supplement. Many thanks to the TLS and Nat Segnit for a review which calls the book “affecting and articulate.”

What did Oman do to deserve this

Taking place tomorrow afternoon 👇🏽

@JamBriggs @iconbooks Has to be done

Are you really a needy/publicity behemoth of an author if you don't slip in amongst the throngs of Christmas shoppers and place your book facing outwards...

Read @perceptivetrav's reviews of Sh*tty Breaks by @benaitken85 and Fiesta by @DanStables. For some excellent travel recommendations this Christmas, discover more about the UK's hidden gems and festivals around the world. perceptivetravel.com/issues/1225/bo…

Absolutely delighted that @ShafikMeghji's brilliant Small Earthquakes has been shortlisted for the Stanfords Travel Book of the Year. Very richly deserved
