Jack Parlabane all at sea is a great premise for a novel marking Chris Brookmyre's 30th anniversary - I do recommend you read Quite Ugly One Morning too, it's a doozy 😁 #books #CrimeFiction #TartanNoir

New review! Jack Parlabane returns in Quite Ugly One Evening by @cbrookmyre (@TheCrimeVault thx @Brownlee_Donald) - "Quite ugly? Quite beautifully executed, and quite perfectly entertaining" crimebookgirl.com/2026/05/26/rev… #books #CrimeFiction #TartanNoir

@Helen_Fields And I note there's no offering of an alternative source of £... Plus: how about pressuring the firms you object to directly??

I note that the sort of authors who are wrecking festivals by objecting to certain funding are also the authors who can most afford not to have festivals as a means of promotion. For the rest of us, these are our lifeblood. So if you’re a big name, then just don’t attend. But don’t mess it all up for everyone else. Enough.

@ascottreid The howls of outrage if they hadn't thought of it! Mind, free kids bus travel only in August... Sigh! Keep being that guy, your work is crucial 😊

FFS, Celtic need to take responsibility for the actions of their fans. The SFA could start by making the old firm play behind closed doors, that might encourage some thoughts... BBC News - Police pelted with bottles as Celtic fans celebrate bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

ICYMI, a great thriller if you're in need of a fast-paced read for the weekend or to stash for your holiday...
