Thanks to everyone for all the lovely messages on my publication day yesterday, and a special thank you to @FavelParrett, Tony Birch, @LaurieSteed and @MeredithJaffe for taking time out to read and endorse a debut novel. Feeling very grateful!

@sybilthefirst @rcbregman Completely agree with RB. I also think people seem to have forgotten that Lord of the Flies is fiction.

Thibault Le Texier’s forensic research into the #StanfordPrisonExperiment has just been published in English. I write about how it is an eyeopening, shocking and engrossing read.

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

A French science historian dug deep into the true story of the Stanford prison experiment – revealing 'guards' were actually coached to be brutal. His findings are now available in English. @GinaPerry @unimelb https://t.co/UazCrIE0Hq

50 years ago a social psychologist took 2 groups of boys on what the kids thought was a summer camp. It turned out to be a disturbing psychology experiment. https://t.co/rtGXTGLj3a

The view from the boys…
@GinaPerry looks at how Muzafer Sherif’s Robbers Cave participants saw his studies.

You are about to see in real time over the next 4 days how the media can choose who it humanizes and who it villainizes, who is a child and who is a minor, who is a mother and who is an accomplice. Who is a hostage and who is a prisoner. In short who is innocent and who is not.

Lovely round up of a terrific regional festival - thanks @Irma_Gold - I would never have guessed you were once a nervous public speaker!
