Delighted to be @BradfordLitFest for Noir at the Bar, discussing why the landscape of the north breeds the darkest, sharpest, most compulsive crime fiction anywhere. Saturday 4th July. Check it out!

Just a friendly reminder that libraries are free.
Not “free trial” free.
Not “free with ads” free.
Not “free if you give us all of your data” free.
But free free.

Very last chance to grab The Drowning Place for 99p on ebook. Pass it on. From tomorrow, I’m all about The Cutting Stone which Erin Kelly has read and loved 💙

Our urgent petition calls on trans people and allies to mobilise against a new draft code that implements a flawed court ruling, which threatens to strip UK trans people of their long-standing rights and social access.

Priceless.
Decided to read Ulysses (translated from Homer by J. Joyce) and I increasingly have the feeling that Christopher Nolan hasn't got this right AT ALL.

Thanks to far right influence, and well-funded pressure groups, trans people, who make up an infinitessimally small percentage of the population, have been openly and publicly attacked and vilified for nearly a decade now.
Solidarity with all my trans siblings. 💙🤍🩷

Today my heart is with our trans community, treated so abysmally in this country.
Draft guidance means trans people are barred from services they could previously access & inclusive service providers will be at legal risk.

Just finished The Ghosts of Rome, the sequel to My Father's House by Joseph O'Connor. Brilliant books set in the occupied city during World War II. Highly recommended.

RT @JackDunc1: Just a reminder that someone burned down a queer bar packed full of people the other day, and it was a footnote in the news.
