I’m not a fan of most superhero movies, but the new Superman film is great fun.

Just received these Turkish editions of Cry Baby. Love the cover. Huge thanks to @oliagent.bsky.social and the gang at AM Heath for the translation deal.

This is Pentle Bay on Tresco, Isles of Scilly, just declared *prettiest beach in the uk* by a Kuoni poll.
It features in my thriller #WhatWeDidInTheStorm @ViperBooks, celebrating its first birthday this month. Gorgeous though it is, death can find you anywhere. πŸ’™πŸ’€πŸ’™

Title: Choose your seat in the literary festival event tent.

Image: lines of chairs set out in a tent, a stage at the front has two more chairs on it.

The chairs are colour-coded and labelled 
1. Awkwardly close 
2. Too far away 
3. Good view / can't hear 
4. Good sound / can't see 
5. In a cold draught 
6. Behind a giant 
7. Between a chatter and a shusher 
8. Very creaky chair 
9. Great seat / wrong event 

A single yellow chair is labelled:
10. Just right!

I think it’s certainly worth letting the publisher or author know.

Not sure. Can you try changing the font on your Kindle?

Very unusual for a publisher to send out an ms in a sans serif font and with no first line indentation. Is this an ebook? I’m wondering if your device isn’t reflecting the original formatting.

Authors have less money than they would if Meta had paid them for their work. I would call that β€˜economic damage’.

It’s a disgrace that centuries-old copyright law can be dismissed like this.

Just a reminder that The Other People, my new novel under my new name, CB Everett, is out now. The Times thinks it's one of the best crime novels of 2025, and who am I to argue?
