Happy festival of Anna Perenna! Time for a picnic on the banks of the Tiber, with wine and your best beloved. #ancientRome #Ovid

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️

Interesting chat about crime fiction. But in which I say 'Absolutely!' a lot.

Springfield, Massachusetts, 1651-a wife accuses her husband of witchcraft. Friends and neighbors tell of mysterious occurrences. A child dies. Who is guilty? Who is the witch? A perfect Autumn read! amzn.to/45Fjm3F

I am lucky to have read an advance copy. It is fantastic (and very different from the excellent Zammit series). It is a Gothic mystery which will grip you like the vines in the conservatory. @AJAberford @HobeckBooks

I’m working on a contemporary urban fantasy, featuring a modern version of the Hell-Fire Club. I've taken a look at the history, so my Substack this week is 18th century sexual perversion and politics, neatly tied to adventures now on a Caribbean island. tomcw99.substack.com/p/do-what-you-…

On the 20th March, probably around 15 CE, #Ovid celebrates his birthday in exile, by writing a miserable poem: “Oh look, it’s my pointless birthday - for what was the use in being born?” (Tristia 3.13.1-2)

A very happy birthday to the Big O, Publius Ovidius Naso. Really happy to be reading some of his Metamorphoses today with our finalists.
