Since I’m not sleeping in my own bed these nights, a view of this evening’s digs: a very fancy mirror, and a free glass of wine, but unfortunately the armchair retrieved from a pond is still with us. It may even be following me…#hotelodyssey

A kind review of A RIVER RED WITH BLOOD in Shots Magazine: "indeed thrilling, full of twists and turns . . . while fans of the Parker mythology are going to be pleased with what they read, a casual reader will be able to enjoy this exciting novel." www.shotsmag.co.uk/book_reviews...

Thanks to @ala-booklist.bsky.social for this review of A RIVER RED WITH BLOOD: "Dark and unsettling but with a rather impish sense of humor, the novel pulls us into the story on the first page and refuses to let us go until the last." www.booklistonline.com/products/982...

Sorry, that should be “sixty years ago today”. Doh.

Again for the curious, my hotel room desk transformed into a work space for the duration. The bottle of wine is a gift for a friend. Biscoff and Cadbury’s Fudge, model’s own…
