Dominic Brownlow

Hello. I'm moving over to @dominic-brownlow.bsky.social. Hopefully see you there.

@steve_lamacq Hello Steve. Dom here. Loving the show. You supported many of my bands: iLiKETRAiNS, Sennen, Strange Death, The Indicators, Belasco. Thanks from them all

Proper looking forward to this

12 of the 15 books at LWB are now officially out of print. (My 3 self-published books excepted). It's a sad day for us all at LWB, after 6 years of hard work, but indie-pressing was a truly great experience. Books can still be bought until Friday 30th on Amazon and at website x

@CathBarton1 @LouiseWalters12 Please help find a good home for these lovely books before it is too late...

I just want to say this again - @LouiseWalters12 has been an amazing publisher. You have ONLY until Friday to buy the books she's published. Then they're out of print, finished, done. So if you've been meaning to get one (or several) for yourself, or a friend, do it NOW.

Sadly @LouiseWalters12 has had to close its doors. The Naseby Horses will be out of print at the end of this week, as will be the e-book. I will not be putting it back on sale directly. 25% discount, as are all LWB’s other excellent titles: louisewaltersbooks.co.uk/buybooks

@LouiseWalters12 @Jemima_Mae_7 I loved this novel. Buy it. Read it. Also love it, before it's too late!

Fancy a great novel about writing, lost friendship, fancying a younger man, and other interesting stuff? The Last Words of Madeleine Anderson by Helen Kitson @Jemima_Mae_7 is just the ticket. £6.75 in my closing down sale… #readingcommunity louisewaltersbooks.co.uk/buybooks

@matthewhill @DeadInkBooks @lukejbird Sounds great. Have just preordered.

13th June... and today's date is at the centre of this wonderful novel by @DominicBrownlow... mysterious, set in the heat of the fens, it features a missing girl, a dead swan, and a bunch of rather odd villagers... and white roses... louisewaltersbooks.co.uk/buybooks

@NatalieC_Author @EwinsTim I read one somewhere thanking the kids 'without whom I would have finished this years ago.'

@EwinsTim My other half was suitably delighted to be promoted from acknowledgements to dedication this time, and hopes every reader has seen it 😂

Who reads acknowledgements? Be honest.

@EwinsTim My favourite is till my own.....sorry! 'Untold thanks to ................. without whom I wouldn't have been able to write their names just here, in the back of our book.'

@Ofmooseandmen @peepaltreepress @JacarandaBooks @commapress @GalleyBeggars @saltpublishing @TangerinePress @SweetCherryPub @sarabandebooks @sandstonepress @DeadInkBooks And my wonderful indie publisher @LouiseWalters12 for whom sadly conditions have been so tough she's had to close. Lots of wonderful books going in a closing down sale ending at the end of this month.

Conditions are really tough for the smaller Indy publishers. So, if you are able, please do buy some books from. @peepaltreepress @JacarandaBooks @commapress @GalleyBeggars @saltpublishing @TangerinePress @SweetCherryPub @sarabandebooks @sandstonepress @DeadInkBooks

Another stunner! I published this in 2019. It's set in June, so a perfect read right now. Should have been on many a prize shortlist. It's bloody brilliant. After 30 June it will only be available as an audio book... #BooksWorthReading louisewaltersbooks.co.uk/lwbbooks

@LouiseWalters12 You have been nothing short of wonderful and it has been an honour to be part of the success of LWB. A heavy broadside from the industry itself has sunk this brave inventive vessel. Book readers are in danger of a full scale invasion of blandness if the indies are not supported.

With a heavy heart (and a sense of relief) I have decided to close my company and no longer publish books. Throughout June I'm running a closing down sale so please hop over for a bargain. I published really great stuff. Thanks to all who supported us x louisewaltersbooks.co.uk/lwbbooks

@CathBarton1 Congratulations Cath!

Thanks to all who voted for me. Looking forward to helping to represent the interests of all writers in Wales. www2.societyofauthors.org/2023/05/10/soc…

@lizzienugent There are also some pretty amazing opening lines on books published by independent presses. They do exist still. And they need more help than the big boys.

@cmacwritescrime And if you're Half Man Half Biscuit fan, Evil Gazebo

I need the name of a naff (fictional) indie band. A band that sounds like they are trying too hard to be cool. The winner can have a character named after them in my next book

@cmacwritescrime Meccano or Motorcade. When I worked in the music industry I tried to get some bands with better names to use these but they didn't, and were better for it!

@Ofmooseandmen @thebookseller @yorkshirepost @PublishersAssoc Many congratulations!

Holy Moly We're a Winner! Many thanks to our editors, Lin Web, Leonora Rustamova, Hetha Duffy, Annie Warren , Flora Rustamova. All our authors and the most important people in publishing, the readers. Bloody brilliant. @thebookseller @yorkshirepost @PublishersAssoc
