‘If you like counting the days down to the publication of novels after which your life will never be the same again, set the clock for June 12 and Ocean by @MsPollyClark. Superb doesn't begin to describe it. People are going to be talking of little else.’ @StrongWordsMag
In the wake of Adolescence, our next novel could hardly be more timely: Words Fail Me is a remarkable thriller about teenage mental health, written by a hugely talented Scottish debut author who doubles as a school therapist. It’s 30% for the next week https://t.co/5s6HuAm89G
A powerful piece from psychotherapist Diane Esguerra in @kindredspirithq about her journey of ‘grief, wonder and reconciliation’ after the death of her only son. She tells the full story in her book Night Into Light https://t.co/GBzxUrfCq2
We have news. We are overjoyed to have enticed a figure of the stature of Will Atkinson to be our publisher and managing director

I had great fun making my Front Row debut tonight. If you want to hear me read from Season and say a few words about football and fiction, our chat starts around the 32 minute mark:

‘Bourne interweaves the factual and fanciful, prehistory, culture, folklore and a profound love of nature in this paean to Earth’s second-hardest substance. Lyrical, wise, whimsical, sparky as the ancient fire-starter itself’ Lovely from @SagaUK on FLINT

The concluding part of @AndrewStickland's trilogy, War Between Worlds, is out next month. Order all three parts directly from us for the price of two. UK p&p is free 2/2 https://t.co/Vq3kDbmUvz
We are so proud of this beauty, just back from the printers. Made from the remains of plankton and sea sponges, flint is the magical stone without which human development could not have happened. Flint: A Lithic Love Letter is @BourneJoanne's tribute to it

I hugely recommend @SimonjEdge’s magnificent pair of novels, ‘The End of the World is Flat’ & ‘In the Beginning’. Coruscating satires on currently trendy anti-science lunacy, and the spiteful viciousness of its juvenile zealots & their cowardly adult enablers.
Today is my 32nd birthday.
Over the last month, I asked several 90-year-olds what advice they would give to their 32-year-old selves.

Political satirists @JoshBerryComedy and @RosieisaHolt talk entertainingly to @arusbridger for @prospect_uk. NB Josh is too bashful to mention it but his book Staggering Hubris was an extraordinary (and hilarious) work of inadvertent political soothsaying https://t.co/O08Ux4zayO
I've got a couple spare copies of Future Fish which I'd love to send out to book reviewers/ bloggers. You'd have to be based in the UK/ IE, and ideally have an interest in humour/gay/Irish fiction. Drop me a message if you're interested, and please share with others who might be!
