People who have read Upon A White Horse may like to know that Ian Jackson, the geologist who I met at Sycamore Gap, has started a podcast series: Reading Rocks. It's on Spotify, Apple, Amazon and Audible. From what I've heard so far, it's very engaging and informative.
I posted this late last night when it went online, but here it is again for morning people. My review of Friends Again – and Lloyd Cole in support! – playing their first show in more than forty years.

Take a moment to think of all the psychologists you can name. Freud, Jung, Pavlov, Piaget, are perhaps the first that come to mind. Now consider how many women you can name. In asking this question, I am often met with a deafening silence.

Just got a copy of @joe-hill.bsky.social new book #KingSorrow, and bloody hell, it's 858 pages long! That will take me a while #goodread #goodbooks
Wow. Blown away. KING SORROW is fantastic. Fantasy, horror, gritty crime elements, Joe Hill effortlessly navigates a sweeping epic that can't be confined to a single genre. I absolutely loved this. #booksky

Back home from the book signing, King Sorrow is a huge book, gonny take me a while to read it. Joe Hill looks so much like his dad I'm beginning to wonder if Stephen King has a portrait in his loft.😁
