Happening tomorrow! 🦋📝

Looking forward to the #scotwriterpitch2025 thingy tomorrow! I'll be keeping an eye on the hashtag and requesting things that sound too up my street to miss!

Editors/scouts: a very specific LBF scheduling thing (tweet?): I've got two Thursday morning slots available which seems excessive. Toilet breaks? Mais non! Drop me a line if you too have unnecessary comfort breaks on Thursday.

What a display! Happy publication day @johnironmonger.bsky.social and THE WAGER AND THE BEAR.

Had a wonderful time taking @johnironmonger.bsky.social around nine, yes NINE, bookshops in Edinburgh earlier in the week.

I don’t know about you but it’s Friday night, I’ve got the heated blanket on, a glass of wine poured, a cat beside me, a good manuscript to read, and I’m feeling pretty happy about things 🙌

Is this the good place?
