I love my job! In the book world I don’t think anything comes close to being as good as a proof of a new book which comes with a message from the author, just for you. Thank you @georginamoore1.bsky.social @garethjohnbrown.bsky.social and @bingewriting.bsky.social for copies of your new books.

I finished A Gentleman in Moscow tonight and…just…wow! Why did I not read this sooner! Was really looking forward to it and although it was not what I was expecting it exceeded expectation! Absolutely loved it!

The hardback of my novel currently has 45% off at the big bad book place, making it a smudge over £8. It's gold and blue and quite festive looking. I'd say it'd make an excellent Christmas gift for anyone who liked slim experimental novels about medieval mystics... which is everyone, right? 📚🎄✒️

PLEASE BEWARE, this tech company might be relying on AI to speed up their operation, BUT it is still a “vanity” publisher, who will charge you (the author) to publish your book. My advice? Steer well clear.
