Calling all authors - be careful, this account is based in Nigeria, very suspect.

Ask who profits from division. Socially Engineered is a novel about online influence, fear, belonging and how ordinary people can slowly lose themselves inside modern systems.#SociallyEngineered #PoliticalFiction #FreeSpeech #CriticalThinking #MediaInfluence #Polarisation

The danger isn’t always in what people believe. Sometimes it’s in how easily we stop listening. Socially Engineered explores radicalisation, fear, media influence and the slow drift of ordinary people in extraordinary times. #MediaInfluence #Polarisation #DigitalAge #BookTwitter
Thoughts on this utter embarrassment?

In an age of algorithms, outrage and endless noise, perhaps the most radical thing we can still do is listen to all sides, think critically and make up our own minds. That idea sits at the heart of my novel Socially Engineered. #ReadMoreBooks #IndieAuthor #OnlineRadicalisation
You’re clearly not a geography wonk either.. this is a Shakira crowd in Rio. I’d like my country at least correctly identified.. 🀣🀣

Fiction can influence when people refute facts - Socially Engineered is a raw, contemporary novel about belonging, identity, and the quiet mechanisms that turn neighbours into threats.

The work that goes into writing a novel cannot be underestimated-nor the emotional effort invested - that people will question book prices yet spend their money on apps, coffee and trinkets, yet begrudge the price of a book, when a story can change your live or view is beyond me.

That was an interesting day, Danny from Northern Ireland described my book as the 'Libtards Bible' of course Danny hasn't read it, but let's not let facts cloud the issue-and then I got a 5-star review & before we've started the PR for the release #bookstoread #bookstagrammer

Heads up everyone - I've just noticed an uptick in potential scammers trying to connect with me - it had dropped off post a very intense period but now seems to be ramping up, I know it sounds like paranoia but be careful and don't share manuscripts unless you're sure who with.

There is something very real about seeing one's work in print form - it all of a sudden becomes very real - to all the writers out there - follow your dreams and keep writing- @books_europe thank you for being so supportive to work with #writerscommunity #bookstagrammer #Booksnow

Does anyone else feel that hollow feeling when you've finished a first draft, you think it's good (obviously) but can't share it with anyone because it needs editing - it's a sort of achievement undefined feeling.

In a post fact world, fiction can often cut through where facts can't - with most of the media now owned and partisan to agendas and causes, fiction remains the free press - limited stock it appears, but more on the way - amazon.co.uk/SOCIALLY-ENGINE…

In the UK 68% of the major news titles are owned by billionaires - here in Australia it is 70%-I don't want to add pressure to my writing peers, but we're at a point where fiction, ironically; is now the last bastion of the free press-it is the only non-controlled/partisan media

Please stop being angry-don't fall for it-Churchill has been on the note less than 10-years-he replaced Elizabeth Fry-who also did her bit for humanity, I don't remember complaints then. Notes are changed regularly - it is now the turn of British Wildlife, the publics choice
