The realisation of an ambition I never knew I had: Grimstink is now available via VENDING MACHINE in Glossop Market Hall thanks to @darkpeakbooks.bsky.social

Because @fireflypress.bsky.social are the best publisher they are ignoring Bleak Friday and instead donating £1 for each book sold through their website to a homelessness charity for the rest of this year

Got a lovely welcome at @urmstonbooks.bsky.social where they let me sign my name in the Grimstinks and I bought this…

Grimstink is a month and a day old so I made this shoddy edit of some of the things people have said about it so far

Went in @waterstoneskids.bsky.social Stockport to sign their Grimstinks. It’s the first shop I’ve been in to do this, meaning that for now it’s the ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD with signed copies for sale

Today I promoted my book to my 350 Strava followers, most of whom don’t speak English. Can anyone beat that for a futile marketing strategy?

My new children’s book is out two weeks today. Ideal for anyone who has, knows, is or was a child

New series of Not Going Out starts this Friday at 9pm on BBC1. Co-written by Lee Mack and me, which is to say that I write the scripts and Lee writes his name in at the top

This bad boy (and he is a very bad boy) comes out two months today. The absolute best way of getting a copy is to preorder from your local bookshop, which in my neck of the woods means the brilliant @bforbutterflybooks.bsky.social or sensational @serenitybookshop.bsky.social

Tolstoy left it nine years between War and Peace and Anna Karenina. No such slouch, my second book is out in July, a mere four years after the first. Preorderable here: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/grim...

Parfit by @davidedmonds100.bsky.social is one of the best biographies I’ve ever read. Elegantly threads the life and work and leaves you with a feeling of having personally encountered its subject. Also several lols

Check out this artwork by Jack Brougham for my new book Grimstink, coming from @fireflypress.bsky.social in July. I hope readers will think the story lives up to this cover

For #WorldBookDay why not invite a friendly author to your school to inspire the children with a love of reading for pleasure

Self-respecting writers don’t repost praise but luckily I’m not one, so I can mention that this book by me might make a good gift for an 8-12 year old you know
