The cover of my new book is up on the @LivUniPress website, looking magnificent! The artwork is called 'Deep Water ' by the very talented Bevan de Wet.

The official release date is November 1st, but you can pre-order it if you like the look of it.

@JSmithy64 I'd definitely have come to that one!

A great piece with Willy Maley, whose influence on me was huge - a model of intellectual curiosity and of how those with more institutional power can use it to help those who have less.

This man was an important player in my life when I was 18 and encountering imposter syndrome in second year English Lit at Glasgow Uni.

He’s taught many people how to read many stories over the years. He let me write some of his in today’s @heraldscotland.

@RolfHind I once taught a 75-year-old beginner. It was great fun. There were sometimes dexterity issues as she had arthritis, but otherwise I just proceeded as with any adult beginner. This person liked learning songs from her youth, but just ask what she'd like to be able to play!
