Had the greatest time at @HburghBookFest this weekend. Came second in a literary quiz where I was on a team with a dog, had a packed event, sold all my books, met so many wonderful people and ate so many biscuits. An incredible literary festival. Can’t wait to come back.

What Callum said! Smashing event.

IT’S EDITING TIME!! 😃🎞️

Having captured the 1 hour session with @ambroseparry at The Hill House (@N_T_S), it’s been decided nothing will end up on the cutting room floor! 🙌🏻

The @HburghBookFest team, have agreed to serialising the session into 6 “chapters”!

Last event of a fabulous @HburghBookFest weekend: @SpacemanDan13 talking to @susiesbookrevs about Dark Island, his acclaimed debut. Capped a great few days of author talks, workshops and panels for all ages. Huge thanks to all who came to talk, listen, question, and eat cake

Forgot to mention the Book Nook at @HallHelensburgh which is open week in week out whether or not the @HburghBookFest is on. All books only £1 each!

Brilliant “What's Hot '25” engagement session held at the @HallHelensburgh this morning! Gill Simpson and the team put on a fantastic event and the panel were an amazing wealth of “bookly-knowledge”!

Had a really lovely time @HburghBookFest today. What a smashing example of a community coming together around storytelling. Thanks to the whole team and all the readers, pitchers and bookworms who came. New friends made and writing buddies caught up. Thank you!

Wonderful evening at the book quiz for @HburghBookFest beautiful decorations, lovely atmosphere. So good to see my books for sale. I think the team I joined came last, which sort of made it all the better.

[Graham Morgan @GrahamM23694298]

What a wonderful evening with @ambroseparry up at Hillhouse for @HburghBookFest I didn't really chair, instead I listened; entranced. Thank you so much!
