V pleased to have my short story The Cargo featured on @The_CWA website for #CrimeReadingMonth. I wrote it back in 2014 when it was longlisted for the @histnovsoc short story contest. It might come across as *quite* current, even though it's set in 1347. https://t.co/B5Dl2GPJkI

Panic buying quote 1914 ..' the panic and greed of the better-do people, who have disgraced themselves by taking long queues of motor cars to stores and carrying away as many provisions as they could persuade the stores to part with'. Newspapers denounced the 'selfish rich.'...

Moments before his passing in 2013, the poet Seamus Heaney texted some Latin words to his wife. They have never felt more apt: “Noli timere” (Do not be afraid).
