Honoured to have a #BookReview featured in the esteemed @WritersReview1 - This Thing of Darkness is one of my favorite historical novels.

[WritersReview @WritersReview1]

New guest, novelist @FionaMountain, praises this novel based on the voyage of #HMSBeagle - "immense, brave, tragic, hauntingly profound". Sounds irresistible! https://t.co/u9FfVIgvaM @headlinepg #CharlesDarwin #voyage #exploration #evolution #seafaring #naturalhistory #greatreads

@MartinSLewis @mmhpi Well said. I challenged Cotswold District Council on this and they said ‘the bill is for the whole year not for a month so it’s discretionary that you are allowed to pay monthly’ - it’s shocking!

Quick trip to my hometown to see @samleesong - the original Keeper of Songs & always an inspiration. A truly lovely human being and his new album ‘Songdreaming’ is powerful, poetic and profound, in pretty eco vinyl with sleeve notes detailing the incredible stories of the songs.

👻 Been drinking @19Crimes wine for a while because it’s very good and as a #historicalnovelist I was also drawn to the concept. It’s only recently I discovered the eerie augmented reality labels featuring stories of real life crimes and criminals. #Halloween #Halloween2023
