Not sure how this made it into a book for babies. The last time I saw something this horrific Sigourney Weaver was blowing it out of an airlock 🦗

One of those Jack London stories that’s brilliant but so brutal that after finishing it you’ll need a cup of tea, a lie down and possibly some counselling

I am gobsmacked and beyond excited at being picked for this @edincityoflit.bsky.social residency. Two weeks in Scotland with two Japanese writers, Eight Tenkawa and Heisuke Kitazawa, then myself and Morag Hood are off to Okayama for two weeks in March. Amazing. cityofliterature.com/two-authors-...

Can’t help feeling the honour of having a plaque made for you is somewhat diminished when they choose to put it on a bin
