To The Wallace Collection yesterday for Grayson Perry: Delusions of Grandeur. Multi-layered with multiple personas, this was a visual and cerebral feast, & it was a great exercise to walk the main collection rooms afterwards to see what GP is responding to. www.wallacecollection.org/whats-on/exh...

Over to Hackney Wick yesterday to see The Glass Menagerie at The Yard Theatre. Powerful production with excellent performances from all players. Lots of contemporary touches but Williams’ text is allowed to shine as brightly, and as devastatingly, as ever. www.theyardtheatre.co.uk/events/the-g...

Looking for a new #NordicNoir #Series that's dark and ADDICTIVE?! #IntoThinAir is a MUST READ! 'Dark and atmospheric, Into Thin Air is Nordic Noir at its very best. Jakob, Noora and the team are superb characters who I look forward to getting to know even more as the series continues. I loved it!'

Among the joysof being an author are the chances one gets to read advance copies of books. Katie Allen's eagerly awaited second novel, Happy is the One is one that made me very happy. It's a funny, heartwarming and unpredictable story of old friendships, new connections and fresh perspectives.

My article for Crime Reads ahead of next week's launch of #ThomasTrue in the US and Canada. With things as they are, I worry history might soon repeat itself. Like the mollies, Queer people must stand together #ALWAYSTOGETHER 🦚 @OrendaBooks crimereads.com/the-hidden-h...
