I ❤️ Glasgow so I'm reposting this thread re the culture of the city (sex & chips). So, ages ago (when I didn't live here) I visited my daughter. We had dinner up at the bar near her pad. High excitement cos the barman, I swear to God, *winked* at me. Now I was 51 & (as you know) a serious novelist.

I don't have anything clever or original to say about Sam Neill, but I loved his work and he felt like a friend during lockdown. News of his passing has made me cry.

Ooh, lovelies! Fancy a 20% discount on a preorder of my new book as Lana Wren, #IfYouveGotItHauntIt? Head to Bookshop dot org dot uk and use the code PREORDER20 to grab my spookily tempting rom-com from today until 17th May. You'll be supporting fab indie bookshops and getting a fab new read! 👻💕

A graphic showing the cover of my new book, "If You've Got It, Haunt It", written as Lana Wren, with an offer for 20 per cent off if you preorder between 13th and 17th May. The cover of my book shows a young woman dressed as a fortune teller, with a green veil draped over her head. She is staring in shock at a crystal ball she holds in her hand, where a handsome young man appears to be trapped inside it. The tagline reads, "Death is calling, and he's not one to be ghosted."

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1

The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

No no no no NO. Palantir is patently untrustworthy as custodians of our data. They are profit focused and will sell us out at the first opportunity. It goes without saying that the NHS should not be supporting the enablers of fascism. notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-tar...

‘Useful phrases for the murder mystery writer abroad’ (my cartoon for this week’s Guardian Books)

Title:
Useful phrases for the murder mystery writer abroad

An eight-panel cartoon showing a writer in a series of situations in a foreign country.

Panel 1: looking at historic buildings saying
"Kia bela vilaĝo!" which is translated below as "What a lovely village!"

Panel 2: in a pretty garden asking the gardener "Ĉu ĉi tiuj estas venenaj" meaning "Are any of these plants poisonous?

Panel 3: in a bar asking the server “Kie oni povas aĉeti pafilon?" meaning "
Can one purchase a firearm nearby?"

Panel 4: on a beach asking a fisherman "Ĉu la tajdo povus forporti kadavron?" meaning "Could the tide carry a dead body away?"

Panel 5: approached by a police officer and saying "Saluton, oficiro." which is translated below as "Hello officer."

Panel 6: being marched to the police station protesting "Okazis miskompreno!" meaning "There has been a misunderstanding!"

Panel 7: in the interrogation room the officer holds up a moleskine notebook, the writer explains "La murdo en mia notlibro estas fikcia." meaning "The murder planned in my notebook is fictional."

Panel 8: locked in a cell asking "Mi ŝatus telefoni al la Brita konsulejo." which means "I would like to telephone the British consulate."

Note: The foreign language used by the writer in the cartoon is Esperanto. It has not been proofread by an Esperanto speaker so there may be errors.
