My new novel, Bally and Bro, seems to have exhausted the dog.

Shout out to the team who gave us the brilliant Angels in America at @TheatreGrove in Eastbourne last night. My review: https://t.co/AvGL7Y1JMr

@TheatreGrove See you on Friday!

[Grove Theatre Eastbourne @TheatreGrove]

Tonight, Angels in America: Part One opens.

A great modern play: fierce, witty, haunted and humane. Fear, illness, love and revelation collide in a drama that still feels urgent.

Join us for opening night.

@trafalgarreleasing @OthelloInCinemas I saw the best Othello I have ever seen last night. Toby Jones, David Harewood and Caitlin Fitzgerald were as brilliant as you would expect but Vinette Robinson was, to me, a revelation as Emilia. My full review: https://t.co/DKimhLz7a9

@renardpress So that's what you look like!

Tomorrow.

Leicester’s Local Writers Fair.

Where I’ll be strutting my stuff (standing behind a table), selling millions of copies of Saltburn (1 or 2), and my other books, (you’ve written other books?)

Come!

10am-3pm at Leicester Central Library, Bishop St, Leicester LE1 6AA

Twenty years ago Heth & I remortgaged our house to start a publishing company that would find great new stories others thought too risky to publish.

Our books have been short listed and won awards and two have been adapted into TV series.

Today we paid that mortgage off

Magic!
