Can you believe it is almost 30 years since the IRA bomb in Manchester?
What were you doing?

Even These Things is a triptych tale of Manchester through the ages.

On at the RX for a few more weeks.

My mind is now mashed potato.

🙈 Just when you thought #idontsweat was something #alongcameharry 😕#spare
(Left UK in 2020? Wanted peace. Hate British Press. Signed Media deals to tune of 150m sued press = more press?!). 🤔

[Maria Roberts @Maria_Roberts]

#Spare is worth a small book deal of £2,000 for 10,000 writers this year.
Some writers don’t even get that. And! A lot of this was already in the press. Baffling!

Even Tom looks ever so awkward at the pettiness and awkwardness of this. #spare #HarryTheInterview

[Maria Roberts @Maria_Roberts]

Dear god USD150m in total on did she didn’t she cry, did she didn’t want a child to wear tights. 🙈 Years on! Years on! This is not a 100m$ book deal interview. #investinwriters #HarryTheInterview

And the earlier version of The Heatwave is published by Comma Press as By the River, here 🔥

@davidmbarnett Thank you!

[Maria Roberts @Maria_Roberts]

Amazing - thanks for the mention 😃

[David Barnett @davidmbarnett]

The excellent @commapress anthology Phobic has a very unsettling heatwave story, By The River, by @Maria_Roberts which I suggest you read when you can't sleep tonight.

[Maria Roberts @Maria_Roberts]

@davidmbarnett I rewrote it to modernise it https://t.co/Fx6b1cHM6k

[Maria Roberts @Maria_Roberts]

@davidmbarnett Ha ha 😄 other people message me too - and it was 2005 - I’m currently working on the TV Series Adaptation of it to send out 🤞🏽

[Maria Roberts @Maria_Roberts]

@fliceverett I just said I’m having a fruit salad as my dinner

[Maria Roberts @Maria_Roberts]

@prymface Well I think it’s great x congratulations xx 🥰

[Maria Roberts @Maria_Roberts]

@prymface Sounds ridiculous to me - surely it’s your decision?

[Maria Roberts @Maria_Roberts]

Cracking new spoken word night with the most eclectic lineup you’ll get this side of literature - reminds me of the good old Speakeasy days in Manchester circa early Millennium @pullupbarcafe #Manchester #poetry #beats #CaribbeanEats #CarribeanFood
