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.

Aw, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁

That's my annual politics tweet of 2026 done. Back to books and Beatles! 😁

Aye, the 'hot take' 'a source says' journalism has really got to go. It's tedious, agenda-led, and means nothing to the vast majority of us and our lives.

Yeah, they showed you can be ambitious, gamechanging without it. That lesson was lost in the 70s!! 😆
Grandiosity has its place, though. It just wisnae the Beatles ' style.

YouTube video by Scott Walker - Topic If You Go Away

Fucking hell, Scott 3. I think this might be my favourite album of all time. It also takes me back to a very specific place in Streatham, when I was 21, that I have never been to since. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhz8...

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...

Remembering George Harrison on his birthday.

"Don't Ever Change" is a 1961 song by Goffin and King. It was a rare harmony duet between @GeorgeHarrison and @PaulMcCartney.

@thebeatles performed the song on BBC's radio show "Pop Go the Beatles". It was released August 1, 1963.

Born this day in 1943, George Harrison, guitarist, songwriter, singer, Beatle, light.

George wrote what may be my all-time favorite Beatles song. I think it's just an incredible two-plus minutes of euphoria, which I invite you to share now. ❤️

"The men implicated in the Epstein files reinforces that I spend half my life explaining to men that their simplified, optimistic view of other men doesn’t line up with the experience of women and girls trying to dodge sexual harassment, assault and abuse attempts." - Leslie Morgan Steiner
