Me, standing outside The Edinburgh Bookshop, joined by the lovely team.
Marie from The Edinburgh Bookshop, holding a proof of the book next to a sign which it reads: The Bruntsfield area of Edinburgh has a rich literary history. Muriel Spark, author of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, was born a few doors away from here at 160 Bruntsfield Place. Other famous residents of the area include: Kate Atkinson, Morag Hood, Norman* MacCaig, Maggie O'Farrell, Catherine Rayner, lan Rankin, J.K.Rewling and Alexander McCall Smith
Here I am at @edinburghbookshop.bsky.social 💜
Photograph of me, standing next to a sign which reads ‘Muriel Spark Walk’. I’m wearing dark corduroys, a red jumper, brown jacket and a brown beanie hat.
My book, LIKE A CAT LOVES A BIRD: THE NINE LIVES OF MURIEL SPARK, comes out in just over a month!
In the run-up, I went to Spark’s birthplace to drop off proofs in lots of brilliant bookshops. Here are some photos of me gallivanting about like a big smiley tea cosy.
