If I was ever tempted to get back on the road, the road reminded me today that it would be the decision of an absolute arsehead. Won't make it home tonight. So, a pint and Madness After Midnight by Jack Glicco.

On my way to London for awards hosting duties at The Grosvenor. The autocue will be updated regularly for football commentary then relayed by me to about 800 engineers. I think this is probably the best way to take in tonight's match.

Just treated myself to a ticket for the cricket on Thursday at the Oval. Not going clubbing after though, the curfew will be respected.

I'm very excited about this, I just hide it well that's all.

Really chuffed with the reaction to Death & Déja Vù. And though I know this is rampant self-regard, let's be honest I'm trying to sell books here. #author

It's amazing to see my audiobook in this company. Let me know what you think of the series. #cosycrime #folletvalleymysteries #audiobook

Publication Day! Out in all good bookshops, reading devices and audiobooks today. I hope you like it!

Book three of 2026 is finished. If the French government find out what I'm drinking, they'll strip me of my citizenship. #booktok #amwriting #diet

'Like Broken Toe just trying to get home...'

Great fun chatting with Geoff yesterday.

Bollocks to that.

And to think people died for this in the Normandy Peach landings.

Very pleased to announce that the audiobook for Death and Déja Vù is now available for pre-order. It is my homage to the films of #agathachristie books, but jaysus, my Irish accent has to be heard to be believed. #audiobook

I see Farage was saying Keir Starmer is Reform's greatest asset. I think that's being rather ungratefeful towards Vladimir Putin, considering the money and resources the latter has channeled their way.

As I wait for Death and Déja Vù to come out on June 4th, early research has begun into Death and Ooh La La... #amwriting

This is the start to the day we all need.

My preferred AI metaphor is actually Asbestos. - Seemingly magical properties - Developed and experimented with to make endless products - Poisoned countless communities in it's creation - Everything it was used for eventually becomes a toxic hazard to mitigate & it's in the fucking walls now

Exercise, middle aged style.

Hi there, an author book box opening with JEOPARDY! Death and Déja Vù, Follet Valley 6, is my homage to the films of Agatha Christie. Pre-order today! Please.

Processed some more from our bumper crop of asparagus. Turns out we now have asparagus beetle. Never heard of it before. Why does everything have to have a bastard? (That may become a book title.)

Yes, Monsieur So British - Between Two Merdes (working title) has reached the editing stage. Out June 2027.

Huge thanks to everyone who's pre-ordered Death & Déja Vu so far. It's two months until release day and it's already showing sharp elbows.

As an author, I'm often asked where I get my ideas from. Well, on this morning's dog walk in the middle of the Loire Valley I managed to get surrounded by the French Foreign Legion, so there's that.

The 'away from my desk' message is up. Have a good week, folks.

Possible new author profile pic, too Mussolini-ish? #author

This haunted look you see here is that of an author recording his own audiobook, regretting the decision to have a main character who is Irish. #accentchallenge

Death and Boules is released in paperback today but bear in mind champagne is released everyday.

Just less than 24 hours in London: a radio show, book signings and book buyings. Three more hours and I'll be home.

I had an RA flare up yesterday so I couldn't walk, as a result you get this self-fluffing post. It's nearly five years since Death & Croissants was published, still in the charts, still keeping good company. Thank you everyone. #author

It's #worldbookday so I feel compelled to write something. Every book I've ever read made me want to be an author. Books change lives. Today, join a library, a book group or go into a bookshop, none of them will disappoint.

This is everything it should be - meticulously researched, deeply thought out, uncomfortably probing, scrupulously fair, AND ALSO outrageously entertaining. This is how progressives should tell stories. An hour flew by.

Paperback release alert! Pre-Order links here www.ianmoore.info

Most of the Winter Olympics is just gravity, isn't it?

Really honoured to be the first guest on this new podcast. Please have a cosy listen.

This week I shall be...

In bed feeling rough, but have witten 5482 words. I could be as prolific as James Patterson if I was permanently bed-ridden. #amwriting

I wrote 2000 words earlier, then a quick change of suit and I'm the host of the European iGaming Awards.

I've looked at a map, wouldn't it be easier if Denmark claimed Alaska? I mean, if it were a game of Risk...

Well played AI, which stands for Always Inaccurate by the way. I think I need to sort out a wikipedia page, any tips?

1136 words written on The Village Where the Devil Sleeps today. So, here's a lounge classic from Dean Martin. youtu.be/KJODBg9oW3U?...

Today is destroy EVERYTHING day. After this morning's writing session, I know exactly how he feels. #amwriting

Thank you Waterstones! A critics' choice for 2026, available for pre-order now.

Well 2026 is off to a freezing, picturesque flyer. #dogwalkchronicles

Such an honour to be in this group!

There's not much of the overnight snow left, but still magical. Merry Christmas from us French Moores.

I have new glasses. The jury is out.

Who loves audiobooks? Who loves a Christmas bargain? Who wants me dripping in their ear on crime and France? OK, forget the last bit. But get over to Audible for some deals. #christmasgiftsideas

Signing books in the (wild) west end. Some people are already being Christmas obnoxious. Be nice to the people that serve you in shops, bars, restaurants etc. #christmas
