Laura Shepherd-Robinson

Every single person in the UK will think this is something else for a split second

I'm so pleased you enjoyed it Neil! Thank you for taking the time to tell me 💚

Treat yourself and your friends. One of the most gripping and delightful books I've ever read.* An immersive experience into 18th century London as well as a beautiful page turner. I loved it from start to finish and want to read it all again. *Well, audio book which is just outstandingly performed.

Great news!

Wow, that's amazing Marie. Can't wait to read it x

He looks as though he's been caught cooking and also as if he mistakenly believes cooking to be illegal

Young Anton Chekhov, the playwright, looking super hot in his 20s

Wait, THIS is young Anton Chekhov? This? Good lord. Let that gun go off, daddy

This is my favourite of all Laura’s books (though I haven’t yet read the most recent - saving it for my holiday!)

A great book, do grab this deal if you haven't read it!

That’s lovely to know! Thank you

Highly recommended - one of the best historical novels I've ever read - and for far less than the price of a cup of coffee!

My second novel DAUGHTERS OF NIGHT is an absolute steal at 99p on Kindle throughout February...

I love Stephen. The face of a doomed WW1 officer and the wardrobe of John Travolta. #thetraitors

imagine being the father or mother or son or daughter or sibling of one of those brave British troops who died in Afghanistan, and having to listen to this crass ignorance

AI nudification: the latest weapon of violence against women and girls In Julie Burchill’s recent article in the Spectator, Does it really matter if Grok undresses us all?, she makes the argument that those who, like me, have repeatedly had their clothes removed by socia...

This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape.

Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason.

But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇

Genuinely hilarious to me that both Harriet and Jessie set out *in front of everyone* what their suspicions are and that the remaining Faithfuls have basically gone 'well, who needs to give that any headspace at all'.

Usually the Faithfuls have bad theories or have to follow the handful of hints they have in a faintly arbitrary way. This year's gameplay seems to be 'whatever you do, don't use logic in any way'.

every provocateur who wangs on all the time about Britain being “broken” should be sent to an actual failed state or autocracy for a month as a learning experience, there’s no shortage of them

So disgusting

If Stephen kills her I will hunt him down and uncoordinate his wardrobe #TheTraitors

I feel obliged to share this masterpiece from my brother:

We found it SO hard today! Got there in the end, but it was a slog!

The interview with Legend in the Radio Times is absolutely brilliant

NANDY'S ALIVE, I REPEAT, NANDY'S ALIVE

I read somewhere that the biggest fear a writer has is a blank page. I'm surprised that with their supposed fertile imaginations they couldn't come up with something more scary than a bit of paper. What about being attacked by a polar bear or perhaps galling down a really deep well full of giant, man-eating frogs? I'm no Jeffrey Archer but even I could come up with that one.
