And if there's a bookshop happy to host a reading/signing event with an author, please get in touch.
#BookSky Here's me in Waterstones signing a copy of my novel. My lovely publisher has organised interviews for me but I've had no responses from my local indie bookshop or local book clubs, and my library says ALL event slots are booked up. It feels like doors are being closed in my face.

So if any book clubs in East or West Sussex or Surrey would like an author to join a discussion of their book, please get in touch!

It's appalling that banks promote flights with offers of holidays as prizes.
It’s not normal in a health & climate crisis to actively promote highly polluting products that make things worse. Congrats to Bristol - the latest city to end ads for things like fossil fuels, flights and SUVs. @badvertising.bsky.social @adfreecities.bsky.social

Killed illegally.
Cubs, like these ones, are being killed by hunts training their hounds on them.
Report hunts, strengthen the ban.

Sorry, I forgot to add #booksky
The Second Life of Anthony B is in good company on a table at my local Waterstones.
After my first publisher collapsed just when it was due out, leaving me devastated, this is so exciting to see.
The book already has 4.8 stars on Amazon.
Thank you, readers.

As if everything he's far so far were not enough, he now wants to kill us all. It beggars belief.

Absurd. We've shown for thousands of years we can manage fine without data centres and we can go on managing without them.
Cato in Fife, Aurelius in Lanarkshire, and Rufus in East Ayrshire: three AI data centres proposed by ILI Group for Scotland. Together they would occupy around 215 hectares, nearly as large as the entirety of Holyrood Park. All of it greenfield and home to a rich tapestry of animals.

I've made it. Bestselling thriller writer James Patterson is offering to put me in touch with his scouting team. Because this is clearly how all multi-million-selling authors operate. 🤣

Not just cruel, but damaging to native wildlife.
Some 10 million red-legged partridges are released into the countryside every year. They join an estimated 50 million released pheasants.
All so that a few rich people can entertain themselves by blasting almost-flightless birds out of the sky.
Game dealers say more Red-legged Partridges have been released this year than they can cope with.

Standby for sacks full of shot and rotten RLPs dumped & fly-tipped across the countryside.

My Dad, 94 and blind, was the inspiration for my column for the Mail's You magazine in Ireland. I'm so lucky to still have him. Also, an honourable mention for pigeons.

The tables have been turned on me. As a journalist, I've interviewed many people but until this month had never been interviewed before. Now, as an author, I've given several interviews.

One that stood out was with Dundalk FM. It starts at 1:09"57:

Hello everyone here! I've been quiet for a time while writing, working, reading and caring for my 94-year-old Dad. I'm still doing those things but I'm back! *Waves* Here are some gorgeous flowers.
