French editors to Moscow: “Keeping Evan Gershkovich in custody is tantamount to taking a hostage. It’s a warning, a threat, an act of terror directed at the last representatives of international media still present in Russia.” #FreeEvan #IStandWithEvan wsj.com/articles/top-f…

My 8 - year- old son told me nobody will be interested in your book about a fat, Scottish policeman - and he may well have a point. Now, I love my boy so much I dedicated the book to him. But I would also like to prove him wrong! The book is out TODAY.
