@Phokion1 just wanted to say thank you for Deep Black. Most enjoyable. Great space opera. Loved it. Cheers.

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

Thank you @cjtudor for The Drift. Loved it. No spoilers, but the last bit had me re-evaluating all that had gone before at 6 am this morning. Nicely done! Looking forward to hearing about Alaska…

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@ChrisRDale Ok. Thanks for letting me know.

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@ChrisRDale hello. I am James Kidd, son of Hugh Kidd from Littlebury/Saffron Walden, UK. Are you the son of Tom and Joan Dale? If so, love to hear from you. Thanks. James

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@ChrisRDale hi. Sorry to contact you out of the blue. I’m doing some family tracing. I’m one of Hugh Kidd’s sons from the UK. I’m trying to trace the Canadian family members. If this is not you, I apologise. If it is or maybe you, I can provide more details. Thanks, James

@JohnBrownlow That I have to wait and see… I know. I even thought about the opening of book 3. In the 1st person. Reader is left unsure who is telling the tale. But you’d have to be also cagey in the blurb to not give it away. I’m sure you are all over it!

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@JohnBrownlow finished Assassin Eighteen late last night in a rush. Thank you very much. Enjoyed it. (Read 17 a few months ago). Will there be a 19? And if so, who will be the first person narrator? Please don’t say: no spoilers! 🤣

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

Well @misterkristoff I finished Empire of the Vampire today. Totes Amaze Balls of the very highest order. Thank you so much. Brilliant book. This is the Way. Cheers.

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

Thanks @RealTimBooth and James for spending 623 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Sometimes. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/tJUzUmAXSU

So @MitchumUK what is happening with supplies of your most excellent men’s anti perspirant roll on? This product changed my life (genuinely) yet I can’t find it in store anywhere? I’m guessing you’ve got supply chain issues? Please tell me you’ve not withdrawn it! Thank you.

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@Phokion1 Thanks for replying. Appreciate it. Keep writing please!

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@Phokion1 I’m sure you get this ALL of the time, but wow. Just wow. Reading my first book of yours to date (sorry, promise to read more) and absolutely loving Artifact Space. Such a page turner. Half way through. My brain is fizzing with delight. Cheers.

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

Er, @jamesrollins is this a typo? Should be blade, no?

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@buckland_bev @hangerhead @fesshole Great record shop. They used to play music in the store if you wanted to try before you bought. I asked for Tender Prey by Nick Cave based on a complete whim (it was his most recent then). Been a massive fan ever since. Thank you Andy’s records (and possibly the OP).

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@KitchensOfD Just out of interest, and I’m asking for a friend, if I played KOD on Spotify silently all night on my phone, would that give you 3.5p or 4p? And if all the people who liked your first post did it?

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@KitchensOfD Should be 10,000 a day. My entry song to your oeuvre. Glorious tune. Thank you.

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@MBetanoid @ianberriman @fesshole Whilst signing This Corrosion? Love the picture. Bet the club in Leicester was Sector 5 (per your previous tweet)

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

Well @SFXmagazine this has to be one the best covers you’ve done in a while. Just excellent detail and depth. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work.

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@lesbapalooza Agreed. Which day do you get to Licence to Kill? The grittiest pre DC Bond film with no supervillain - just a drug Lord - and an ancient Q.

[Billy the Kidd @jwk14021]

@Sibealpounder @readingfestAHS Thank you so much both to you and to the school for this. She’s a big fan of your books and you made her day. James (Maya’s dad)
