Books, camping, festivals and Cardiff City Football Club obsessed agent. If a story's worth telling, tell it to me.

It appears I’m the victim of a rather elaborate phishing exercise using an email address that is not mine - [email protected] advertising self publishing services connected to Curtis Brown. Please disregard entirely. Thanks Elon.

So the book I teased about earlier is the absolutely brilliant Saltwater Mansions by @d_whitehouse Now I am not a non fiction reader but this lured me in and I read it in four sittings. Yes it’s a narrative non fiction about a woman who seemed to vanish but it’s about SO MUCH

It's October, and you know what that means – #31DaysOfDark is back! Every day I'll share a spooky/strange book by a woman or NB writer.

Day 1: Things We Say in the Dark, with its matching siblings, translated in Spanish and Catalan, and currently being developed for film

@kirstylogan I bet for so many writers it was ESSENTIAL

I’m so happy to be supporting @starlight_uk and @MediCinema with live events for patients and donating mini-libraries to hospitals. Both charities are wonderful, as any parent or child who has benefited from their crucial work will know.

'... it's still wide open. You can be anyone you want to be.'

@WhittyAuthor shares how writing offered a chance for him to write his own narrative rather than let past trauma define him. A fascinating conversation about a wonderful book; watch here: https://t.co/TQ8iRstZB7

[Chris Whitaker @WhittyAuthor]
