I took this book baby to Broadcasting House in London yesterday to make a programme for BBC Radio 3 all about The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson - our latest bestselling novel. There was chatting, outside recording and even music - with Bach on the viola to bring the whole package back to life!

‘She looked all round, at the wide open space of "Dreamland"... Oh, God, it was all such a big muddle now. She’d decided to run off: and it had all gone wrong... She took in a deep breath of Margate air and fresh rain...’ - Break in the Sun by Bernard Ashley

Three out and three to go - this is 2026! Manderley Press was a mere twinkle in my eye back in 2021 but five years later it appears we’re on a publishing roll. Here’s to an autumn on the sofa with a stack of rediscovered literary gems #booksky

If books were cake…! It's fab to resurrect forgotten titles - and to work alongside living authors too. When I sent @fionasampson.bsky.social a finished copy of this book she introduced - Mary Shelley in Bath - she exclaimed that it was good enough to eat, like a slice of Battenberg cake 💕 #booksky

Reading just these 4 books, you could time-travel directly into Iron Age countryside, Georgian Bath, the Channel Islands during WW2 and New York in the 1980s. And on your bookish journey you would be joined by ancient horses, imagined monsters, prize cows … and loads and loads of dogs. #booksky

A huge thanks to David V Barrett for reviewing our rediscovered sci novel from the 1930s - Woman Alive by Susan Ertz - in the latest edition of the @forteantimes.bsky.social - "Woman Alive is a strange mixture of utopian and dystopian … this novel is a powerful and prophetic warning." #booksky
