Did Grant Shapps really just warn us against the dangers of Labour having "unchecked powers" after the damage the Tories have done to us over 14 years of, er, unchecked power?

That @Jamie_LeeBrooke really knows a good book when she reads one, but she likes mine, too. Which is nice.🙂

Just spent a lovely hour at the launch of Dr Liz Mistry #DeadlyReckoning's The Blood Promise at WaterstonesLivingston (who laid on a fine event, it has to be said). I was too busy fanboying to remember to get a selfie, so you'll just need to take my word for it. I was there. And it was lovely.

Yes! Remove all testosterone and white, middle-aged, male, entitlement and toxic masculinity out of all governing bodies. Please!

I'd like to second Andrew's comments. When I get my edits back from my own Storm SuperEd, I experience several forehead-slapping, gob-smacking, "how did I not see that?" and "oh good grief, that's good" moments. Always. I think editors should be mentioned in the book credits.

Congratulations ⁦Doug A Sinclair⁩ for being included on the McIlvanney 2024 Prize longlist. Some achievement! ⁦Bloody Scotland⁩ #crimefiction #tartannoir ⁦Storm Publishing⁩

*Stunned* to be on this longlist. Special thanks to my agent Kevin Pocklington at The North, and to Oliver Rhodes & Claire Bord & Kate Gilby Smith at Storm Publishing. But mostly to my amazing wife, Maaike, who believed in me for years when I couldn't. I don't deserve her.

What do I say? I can barely process this. Wow. Just, like, bloody wow. (Can't frame it right, please click to see full image).

Tomorrow evening Sunday 30th June, at 19:00 the UK Crime Book Club will interview me and fellow Bloody Scotland debut prize nominee, Allan Gaw. I'll do my best not to say anything inappropriate enough to have my nomination rescinded. 🤣 Link will follow, if can find it again.

I try not to be too negative on here, but how bloody dare these racist thugs take over a moment that was meant to be about those little girls and their families, and use it as an excuse to attack their neighbours and people fleeing terror and, for some reason, Greggs.

3 headlines in a row from CNN online news tonight. Not cut and pasted together. This is as it was on the website. All new from those we’ve been talking about for the last couple of days. 3 more murdered women. 3 more murderous men. What has to happen for things to get better?

Listening to James O'Brien. As usual, refreshingly "woke". Caller called Charlie nailed The Rump's utter idiocy/dishonesty. Thank you, James and Charlie, for reassuring me that there *are* right-minded people out there.

99p is a steal. Join Malkie & Steph as they fight every day to protect the best of us from the worst of us. Book four out in August so a good time to climb on board.

How exciting!!!
