didn't her lot just misspell "Britain" all over their merch? (They did) www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I'm on a bit of a Sixties music kick and it will never not amuse me that two of Certified Petty Bitch Del Shannon's top hits were "hey everyone that woman is a slut" (Runaround Sue) and "I'm glad you got cheated on, actually" (Hats Off To Larry). Just unbridled rancid vibes but SUCH foot tappers.

The best thing about events like Sheffield last Saturday is that we get to put books and writers that you wouldn't necessarily normally see together! Huge thanks to all those who have picked up our Sheffield authors' books recently 🙏 Check them out here: share.google/Q0RE6GnaBOgM...

I love being 30 because some of my friends are having wonderful little people I get to buy presents for and others of my friends are becoming chic divorcees.

Normally I'm team 'keep your child OFF the internet' but there's this 3 year old who does better makeup ASMRs than most of the grown ups I've seen and like. I'm grateful.

the thing about being mostly caffeine-free is I can now have one sugary Earl Grey and feel as buzzed as I was at 19 on a sticky-floored sweaty night out

had such a nice day and came home, all peopled out and ready to slumber, only to see the latest instalment of the neighborhood cat soap opera playing out at full screaming volume in my garden. love that for meeeeeeee

the Barbenheimer of northern fiction, aka the wonderful @pauldcoombs.bsky.social and I hung out at the Northern Publishers' Fair today and it was lush. (also, Manchester you cleared us out of Cacoethes within a couple of hours. love you) thank you @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social for organising!!

Happy bi visibility day to all who celebrate, and big love to @divamag.bsky.social for having me in to chat about Cacoethes! 🌈

This is staggering. Dismantling the right wing propaganda machine is imo one of the biggest and most vital obstacles to the future of this country.

Mandelson getting sacked has prompted Mama de Lullington to remind me of when I (aged 3) heard everyone having a go at someone I thought was called "Petel Mandelson" in the news back in '98 and I thought it was so unfair that I insisted on christening him "Poor Petel". Cancel me now I guess.

and tonight I'm excited to be joining this author panel at @urmstonbooks.bsky.social to be chatting about one of my favourite topics: class in fiction free tickets here - come and join the conversation! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/class-ic-l...

had the loveliest event at @darkpeakbooks.bsky.social last night - thank you everyone who came along, bought books, nibbled, sipped, and facilitated some brilliant and insightful and thoughtful conversations. I'm so grateful! @northodoxpress.bsky.social #Booksky

happy 30th birthday to the man who yesterday casually came up with a drag queen called 'Lawrence of A Labia' and then when I referenced it back to him two hours later had absolutely no recollection of mentioning it. love u doc.

you know what else was lovely? there were so many British teeth and wrinkles in the earlier series' of MM. not to get all 'old man yells at cloud' but people had proper faces.

Plz tear yourself away from your annual Gilmore Girls rewatch and come chat bisexual sugar babies, age gap relationships, messy girls, and more with me at one of these autumnal events. I'm so grateful! everyone is being so welcoming!

watching old Midsomer Murders reruns and it's one of my firmest beliefs that the most convincing on-screen family of all time were Tom, Joyce, and Cully Barnaby

If you have an emergency phone you don't want someone to find out about, please be aware that this is happening soon.

Thank you so much!! 🥹🥹

Hi London, I'm bringing myself, my novel, and my Cacoethes merch to this next weekend as part of a beautiful line up - it's free, it's at a Colours Hoxton, all the info can be found here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bi-communi... hope to see you there! @northodoxpress.bsky.social @thisisbiscuit.org.uk

Wow Sally Rooney. Fair play. ‘I feel obliged to state once more that… I too support Palestine Action. … If the British state considers this "terrorism", then perhaps it should investigate the shady organisations that continue to promote my work and fund my activities, such as WH Smith and the BBC.’

I wrote about the decision myself and other authors took to withdraw from the longlist of the Polari Book Prizes for LGBTQ+ writers www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

truly enchanted by the ITV detective drama where Adrian Dunbar wanders round craggy landscapes solving crimes and singing at the jazz club. what a life.

These Northodox authors get everywhere! Want to come along and meet some of the fantastic talent under our umbrella? We have Sheffield on 30th August, Llandudno on 30th August and Leeds on the 9th October! Please do get involved if you can! Support indie publishing!

two of my favourite topics to yap about are class and my novel, so imagine my delight at being on THIS particular panel 👀 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/class-ic-l...

Are you an emerging bi+ author of fiction who can be in London on 31 August? I'm looking for another voice to round out a panel on bi+ fiction. Drop me an email!

hey #Booksky do you love contemporary LGBTQ fiction, coming of age novels, messy girl lit fic or stories where women get to be funny and unfiltered 📣 www.northodox.co.uk/product-page...

just realised what Dan's and my books standing together on our bookshelf remind me of...

baby's first print interview (printerview??) - so grateful to Bi Community News for shining a light on Cacoethes, it was so great to chat about the book and all the things that went into it 🩷💜🩵 #Booksky @northodoxpress.bsky.social

thrilled that Cacoethes is back in stock and delighted to reveal that someone has honest-to-goodness described this novel as "sort of between Enid Blyton's Mallory Towers and Fifty Shades of Grey" www.northodox.co.uk/product-page... #queerfiction #booksky

Finished Poor Ghost! today - I really REALLY enjoyed this book. I loved the dry humour, the chippiness, the Manchester-ness, the way places and memories all tangled up in Luca's life story. It's so real!! Bravo @gabrielflynn.bsky.social 🫡

graphic design is my passion www.northodox.co.uk/product-page...

We've had to postpone this as the print run completely sold out - victim of my own success etc etc 🥳 Anyway, Bodie is of course delighted to have his mother home all evening. Look at that little FACE.

Happy (belated) ‘Oswald Mosley coming to Manchester & getting his head kicked in’ day to all who celebrate 🥳 From MCR to Cable Street & the Spanish Republicans before them, there’s only one thing to do when Fascists march. ¡No Pasarán! 📗 commapress.co.uk/books/resist

incidentally, if you're in Manchester/the Peak District this Weds, you're warmly invited to the drinks party I'm having at the gorgeous Dark Peak Books in Glossop to celebrate Cacoethes, indie publishing & bookshops, and reviews like these. Tix: ticketsource.co.uk/dark-peak-books

I think this book is finding her audience #Booksky @northodoxpress.bsky.social

I so wanted them to let Ralph Ineson do Northern Galactus

is there a nicer end to a day than in fresh pyjamas doing a slow blinking and yawning circle with your cats, I think not

so far one of my top Cacoethes moments has been the sale I made by chatting to an older chap in a bookshop who definitely didn't expect me to be a fully fledged Biggles fan when he told me his favourite author was W.E Johns. when I say I'm like if an old man was a girl I'm not joking!! 🫡

www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ju... I love babe with my whole entire heart and I love how much earnest artistic commitment and genuine care went into making it 🐷🥹

I love my long little draught excluder son

🥹"exceptional dialogue" 🥹"breathtaking" 🥹"Cacoethes demands the reader's undivided and uninterrupted attention" Can't tell you how grateful I am for thoughtful, generous reviews like these get yours direct from @northodoxpress.bsky.social : www.northodox.co.uk/product-page... #Booksky

teetotal but I ❤️ when a wall gets plastered

going all 🥹🥹 over these incredibly kind words from the wonderful Emma Morgan. www.northodox.co.uk/product-page... @northodoxpress.bsky.social

starting the next decade off right 🎂✨

travelled 315 miles from home and somehow ended up next to someone related to our family GP??? anyway, more importantly, HUGE congratulations to my incredible not-so-little little brother on his FIRST CLASS DEGREE FROM DURHAM!!!! a true working class success story tbh - watch this space!!

It's Rue's world we're just living in it!! congratulations superstar!!
