@cibc When you go on the 'Before Moving to Canada' section of your site, you have to select your mobile number country code to continue, but there are only 16 countries available in the drop-down menu (no UK, France, Spain etc). How do you continue if your country is not there?

Yep, MailOnline, two blokes scrapping at Ascot definitely more important than the result of the assisted dying bill vote.

It's official publication day for The Unravelling of Mary Reddish! A big thank you to those of you who have managed to get in early to buy/read/review the book already. @Legend_Press

[David Whitfield @davidwhitfield1]

I've been on BBC Radio Nottingham today talking about The Unravelling of Mary Reddish (out tomorrow!). It's at 1:46:10 on the link below if you fancy a listen. PS I haven't listened back yet - let me know if it sounds shocking!

I've given it a go, but I think I might have to call it a day on cosy crime. I get that there's a big market for it, but all the books I've tried - The Mystery Guest being the latest - don't do it for me. Crimes should have real consequences, shouldn't they, even in fiction?

[David Whitfield @davidwhitfield1]

The BBC often gets its priorities wrong when promoting its own content (“so-and-so to be quizzed by Laura Kuenssberg” at the top of the website etc), but to lead News at Ten with its own Prince Harry interview ahead of the election results really was editorially unforgivable.

Do you like historical fiction based on true stories?
Do you like strong female leads?

A bit late to this one, but have just finished #LessonsinChemistry and found it as engaging and enjoyable as everyone says. But spare me the inner thoughts of the dog! Now I need to watch the Apple TV series to see how they tackle that...

[David Whitfield @davidwhitfield1]

I’m calling it - this ‘fully recyclable gift wrap paper’ is the 21st century’s worst invention. It’s my son’s birthday in a week, if I start to tackle it today it I might just be ready in time.

[David Whitfield @davidwhitfield1]

@Annecdotist @Legend_Press Thank you, Anne. I’ve followed you, do feel free to get in touch. All the best.

[David Whitfield @davidwhitfield1]

Great work by the team at @Legend_Press for the cover of my novel 'The Unravelling of Mary Reddish', which is out next year. Might be of particular interest to Nottingham folk as it's set around the old asylum in Sneinton. Some more details on Instagram: https://t.co/xFgedyxjFQ
