I love hearing from people who have read my books. It's great to know that readers – and other writers – are enjoying Upon A White Horse. It will be out in paperback on April 23.

That man @peteralanross.bsky.social has done it again. Just finished reading 'Upon a White Horse' - beautifully written, frequently moving, peppered with lovely bits of humour and just endlessly interesting. Well, it does have an end, sadly, but you know what I mean. Superb.

“All those living a relegation season know their death sentence already; that is half the agony.” Daniel Gray’s latest slow match report on Kelty Hearts.

'His kick, though, curved through the air and out of play again at the far side of the goal. It was like watching someone walking into a room and forgetting what they were there for...' My latest Slow Match Report is up on Nutmeg FC: open.substack.com/pub/nutmegfo...

🎵Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky? It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time🎵 Whoever this manager selects plays a type of football I can't remember seeing our lads conjure. Pass follows pass like a fast-ticking clock, but no dull sideways motion. Viva Hellberg 🇸🇪

'A corned beef man in a small plates world' is so #hmhb i'm already semi-singing it to two of their songs.

Dan's latest ⬇️

@danielgraywriter.bsky.social as ever setting the bar for football writing extremely high!

This match report is every bit as good as I hoped it would be

"Supporters walked towards the bulbous steel of the modernised Stadio Friuli, itself resembling foil scrunched round a giant focaccia." Such a great piece by @danielgraywriter.bsky.social which is by no means diminished by the no-show Scottish players.

Another lovely piece of writing from Leither @danielgraywriter.bsky.social - his evening out watching Scotland somehow beat Greece last Thursday.

Take a bow @danielgraywriter.bsky.social. The most lyrical, yet also the most accurate match report of the Scotland v Greece game that you will read.

“Gannon-Doak on the left is a gift unopened and a toy kept in its box. It is a crime thriller missing its final page and bubble wrap un-popped.” There is noone who does match reports like @danielgraywriter.bsky.social. Every line of this is genius.

A lovely listen

🎵Football Songbook🎵 From Power Game to Pigbag via a flight to the moon, here's a lovely chat about Middlesbrough music I was part of on 5Live at the weekend. It starts at 34.30mins: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Outrageous appropriation of a West Country folk tune (Papa's Got A Brand-New Pigbag), but otherwise top work from the boy Gray.

Absolutely loved talking Middlesbrough music on the Football Songbook this morning. It starts at about 34.30mins here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
