Happy birthday!!
Five years ago this week, Sarah Everard was murdered by a serving police officer, sparking protests & promises of change
But now, woman officers abused by colleagues tell me reforms have victimised them more instead of protecting them

So THE SALT ORACLE is a finalist for the BSFA awards! And my amazing designer, Sam Gretton is a finalist for the cover too! 🙌🏽
Truly delighted for Sam & very, very grateful to everyone who voted for my strange, briny why-pick-one-genre-when-you-can-pick-four book 🤗

BREAKING: A wonderful speech from Green Party's Hannah Spencer after winning the Gorton and Denton by-election.
Congratulations!
The cover for The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance by Chiara Bullen. The tagline reads: "Behind every hero, there's a historian." The cover is framed by icons; two open books at the bottom, green quills and thistle leaves above. Two golden daggers frame the title, and thorns lead up to two dragon heads. Above the title there is the image of a mountain and a small dragon. Below the title, there is an image of the white inn, a stag behind it and a path leading to the front door. The colour palette is mostly light gold, a teal green and black. The book cover is placed on top of an image of a snowy Buachaille Etive Mor and the Lagangarbh Hut, a white stone bothy, sits beneath it. Text reads: Now Available on NetGalley UK
UK reviewers: The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance is now on NetGalley UK!
My debut fantasy novel featuring a historian desperate to document a hero — even if he has to push them up a dragon-infested mountain himself...

64 million times. Great factoid. Wish we could calculate the environmental impact of those too.
screenshot of the Libro FM page for E.M. Anderson's The Keeper of Lonely Spirits, audiobook narrated by David Sweeney-Bear, currently on sale for 81% off, just $5.39. Sierra from Page 1 Books says, "A quick and delightful horror-fantasy about an immortal ghost hunter dealing with a curse that banished him from his home in Ireland over 200 years ago. Romantic, heartfelt, and queer relationships, talking plants, found family, and grief healed through community. I loved the keeper and the people of Harrington so dearly "

A coloured screenprint of a title page for LANARK: A Life in Four Books. The illustration contains dreamlike imagery against a background of stars and rushing clouds: at the very top, a black-and-white sketch of Glasgow tenements and streets; next to it, a strange figure, part woman, part tree, who is eating the apples that grow from her body; next to that, a hand reaches out of a stormy sea towards a golden sun. A monstrous, distorted mixture of a whale and an elephant, with human hands and breasts, is suckling two embracing figures: a blue man and a pink woman. Dominating the image is a blonde, blue-eyed woman, looking outwards. A thin, almost emaciated, monochrome male figure rises from the page of an open sketchbook. He holds a pencil and a set of dividers and is drawing a replica of his own face. On the sketchbook is written "For Andrew Gray and Morag McAlpine | Glasgow Print Studio | 2014"
INTERVIEWER: When somebody asks you to describe your book LANARK, what do you say to them?
ALASDAIR GRAY: I say it is a Scottish petit bourgeois model of the universe.
I: Just like that?
AG: Yes, I’ve rehearsed it and honed it down to as few words as possible.

Thank you for your service 🫡
I have wuthered
the heights
that were on
the wily windy moors
and which
you were probably
saving
for gothic hauntings
Forgive me

Video shows a person on a motorbike being attacked in central Gaza as the Israeli military continues to violate the ceasefire.
Israeli forces have killed nearly 600 Palestinians in Gaza since the ceasefire was agreed last October.
