Robert J Lloyd THE HUNT & HOOKE NOVELS

This interview with Lee Child @LeeChildReacher includes the nicest thing anyone's said about my dialogue: 'With tremendous respect to Ms Mantel, I prefer your approach, to be honest. It rooted it at the time it needed to be rooted.' youtube.com/live/KjjwZxMrL…

@GoodwinMJ You used AI to write this tweet as well, didn't you?

The Left are having a meltdown about Suicide of a Nation -- cherry-picking, misrepresenting, and hate-bombing the Amazon reviews. Why? Because they think they own and control the public debate. Their default mode whenever a book/thinker comes along that dismantles their worldview is to try & discredit it and attack the person, not the argument. Only, it won't work this time. There is a reason Suicide of a Nation is Number 3 on Amazon and it's struck a chord with so many. Because people see through the gaslighting and want to be told THE TRUTH about what is really happening to THEIR OWN COUNTRY, and their own people. Everything in this book is based on official, UK census data and the very same projections that are used by the Office for National Statistics and expert demographers. Every single person who knows the data knows that everything in this book is correct - even if they would rather you not know about it, or talk about it. The Left don't want you to read it, they don't want you to know what is in this book, because they do not want you to know what is happening around you. They do not want you to know the truth. Which is why they work overtime to try and deflect & discredit anything that challenges their worldview. "Is it really true what you say about this one school?", they ask, knowing full well it is. "Should we really care about the fact that some 5 million people in England cannot speak English or do not speak it as their main language?", they ask, knowing full well this is a major problem. They are constantly trying to gaslight you. It really is that simple. I worked in the universities for 20 years; I saw the strategy up close. Only, unlike others I refuse to be pushed aside. I refuse to let them dominate the public debate. Which, by the way, is why I did not want this book to be published by a mainstream publisher. I could easily have gone down this road, having written two national bestsellers. But I knew they would censor what I say, they would try to control and narrow the debate. This is why I deliberately stepped outside the narrow, stifling Groupthink, the Overton Window. And this is why Suicide of a Nation is now selling out - everywhere. So here's a challenge. Ignore the losers on the Left who are trying to control and censor you once again, read it for yourself, and make up your own mind. Matt amazon.co.uk/Suicide-Nation…

@Matthenov Ginger! I can only aspire to ginger!

In my formative years, this is the writer's lifestyle I aspired to...lol. Now it never gets raunchier than the occasional cheeky double espresso, with a ginger shot, just for the hell of it...

I'm always interested in another author's process.

@Temulkar Happy birthday, pyjama boy!

24 year old me: It's my birthday, I must go out and go wild! 55 year old me: It's my birthday, into my jimjams, hobnob and a cuppa😂

@SRSYdiaries 😂😂😂

@Temulkar 😀

@robjlloyd No, it was a great mystery, and the museum owner would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids 😂

Coffee and scooby doo in bed is the perfect start to a lazy Sunday. I remembered my brother's birthday today too 🥳

Went to Cardiff and saw the big moon. Also saw the Gwen John exhibition, which I'm afraid I was underwhelmed by. There are only so many portraits of nuns you can see and still feel entertained.

So miracles CAN happen…

Writers should not publish for free. They should not publish at all. The only acceptable form of publication for a true writer is posthumous, ideally against their own express wishes

@JeremyVineOn5 You what?

Should older women wear their hair shorter? Vanessa's holding out with the likes of Cher and Demi Moore, keeping her locks long... But she's aware she is in the minority, what do you think? Should women of a certain age wear their hair shorter?

@Waterstones You could make any of my books Book of the Month if you like!

In January 2018, we made Bernard MacLaverty's Midwinter Break our Book of the Month and now we have the majestic Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds starring in the film adaptation, which is in cinemas next week. What a treat. Find the book here: waterstones.com/book/midwinter…

If you're ever tempted to use this company, think again! Supposed to fit two doors and a window before Christmas. Various put-backs since, definitely going to turn up today. Another no-show. renewablegreenhomes.com

🚨ANDREW CARNEGIE: “We see a future where knowledge and information are made freely available for all through philanthropy and public spaces designed for the civic good”

So many of these emails! Bored with them! theguardian.com/books/ng-inter…

The Bank of England is exploring new banknote designs this week, so why not embrace the drama of our history: Oliver Cromwell, ruler of England’s brief republic or Charles II, the king who restored the crown. Republic or Restoration. Who belongs in your wallet?

@HeadBerry You smell bad.

@robjlloyd Your disagreement offends me

People not being permanently or perfomatively offended. Being able to disagree with someone and still get along

@stone_lands I'd be flattered if you read it!

@robjlloyd OMG it looks absolutely brilliant- very up my street! The 17thC is one of the most fascinating of all eras and I love a thriller. So a thriller set in Restoration London is just perfect … looking forward to it.

Happy John Aubrey Day – born 12/03/1626 and 400 years old today! The original stone botherer, who recognised the Avebury stones for the prehistoric marvel they are, and rightly commented that the site 'doth as much exceed Stonehenge as a cathedral doth a parish church'.

@stone_lands Ooh, wow! The Bloodless Boy is the first one.

@robjlloyd I’m going to read one - looks good! Which is the first?
