Dear Leader @realDonaldTrump Your Orangeness should come to the @bozzyfest in Scotland on May 10 at 5pm to hear the great @alittl quiz me about @navalny. He was a brave Russian (with warts and all) who stood up to Vladimir Putin. He was poisoned, survived, then poisoned again. Read my book Murder In The Gulag. You might understand the killer in the Kremlin better. No KGB. Find out more about what’s on offer, at boswellbookfestival.co.uk

Helen’s Judgement is out next month. This story, of Helen and Achilles, means so much to me. The research/writing began over 20 years ago, interspersed with other projects and life disruptions. I had such hopes. @NeemTreePress @unbounders #GreekMythology #HistoricalFiction

Spent last week in Paris and stood below The Raft of the Medusa once again and was captivated anew by this monumental masterpiece. The world is always failing its people, there are always those that are abandoned and forced to ride upon Géricault’s raft. #StopGenocidelnRafah

Thread of movie scenes inspired by art 🧵 1. Shutter Island - Klimt's Kiss

A fantastic collection of strange, macabre and funny stories that I thoroughly recommend.
