@LindsayLaughed @LissaKEvans Thank you – for reading, enjoying and getting it into your local library! The sleeping greyhound is one of my favourites, too, but all I've managed to establish is that it's definitely not Spring. And I hear you on the frustration. Oh for a time machine...

[Susannah Stapleton @susannah_writes]

@PhilipHensher @LissaKEvans Sadly not. Just a bit of light theatre.

@LissaKEvans Thank you, Lissa!

[Lissa Evans @LissaKEvans]

'That Dark Spring' by @susannah_writes, is beautifully structured and perfectly paced and I couldn't stop reading it. It's going to take its place as a true crime classic.

[Peters Fraser+Dunlop @PFDAgents]

Happy publication day to @susannah_writes for her gripping crime book That Dark Spring!

Good read! Olive Branson, an artist and hotel owner, found dead in her Provence home in the 1920's. Was it suicide or murder? Beautifully written by @susannah_writes, in the swirl of village,judiciary, police involvement Olive is given her due and her personality shines bright.

@TeresaKnight2 Thank you, Teresa!

@littleamiss @WythamWoods The Bacchae (Euripides) has some pretty wild women in the forest. Maybe not what you’re looking for, though.

@6thfret A bit late (I’ve been away from Twitter), but thank you!

[Susannah Stapleton @susannah_writes]

@CaitlinDavies2 @DanSmith_Writer @wildwordsfest Indeed it was!

[Susannah Stapleton @susannah_writes]

I'm organising a fundraiser for the DEC #Ukraine appeal in Much Wenlock (Priory Hall), close to Ironbridge in Shropshire.

If anyone can spare a cool raffle or tombola prize it would be hugely appreciated!

On #IWD2022 my thoughts are with Alexandra Ryabichkina (the grandmother from the heartrending PBS doc The Distant Barking of Dogs) and all 🇺🇦 women. Apparently, she and little Oleg have been evacuated from their village near Donetsk. I hope they are safe.

@AngelaBarnes @wearehistorypod @mrjohnofarrell Thank you! And I was so pleased you found a good balance between bonkers Maud and brilliant Maud. Not easy, I know!

[We Are History Podcast @wearehistorypod]

A brand new episode is out! @AngelaBarnes tells
@mrjohnofarrell all about Maud West, the famous lady private detective and master of disguise, who achieved a special kind of celebrity in a macho profession normally dependent on discretion and secrecy.

[Susannah Stapleton @susannah_writes]
