Quite blown away by this NetGalley review of Flowers from the Black Sea that appeared on Amazon today

[Abe & Eddie @decker_ab]

So, after much fretting & sleepless nights, my next novel is finally complete and with the editor. Time to get on with other work.
Meanwhile, 'Flowers from the Black Sea' is still attracting readers

I am writing a book on Nigel Farage for @headlinepg.

No holds will be barred.

Nigel has said of me that I caused him “more misery than any other in my 25 years in politics”.

Hello Nigel.

Out in September.

The irrational exuberance of AI boosters & their cynical coupling with Trump is a familiar story of human greed & myopia, not a new stage in evolution. The product is truly phenomenal but flawed in ways that encode the deformed character of its progenitors

Many of Istanbul's visitors are unaware that the city is home to half-a-millennium-old stone-carved bird houses that reflect the Ottomans' reverence for the animals.
