This is not writing. Do not let people express this delusion in your face.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

So sad to learn that Nora Ikstena has died aged 56. Soviet Milk is an exceptional novel that had a profound effect on me. If you’ve not read it, I urge you to pick it up. It’s slim but devastatingly effective.

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop

Hi there! Guttingly, there have been some delays getting stock to bookshops, but they're working to fix that asap! In the meantime (if you're partial to them) ebooks and audiobooks are available. Thanks so much for trying!

Happy publication day to @holly.bsky.social and @orionbooks.bsky.social for #59Minutes

This 5⭐️ thriller is gripping, terrifying & entirely plausible. Once you pick this up you won't want to put it down.

The book cover for 59 MINUTES by Holly Seddon shows an hourglass with yellow sand on a blue background and the tagline: an hour until the world ends. What would you do?

I don't think I took a single breath during the first half of this book. 59 Minutes is one of the best stories I've read in a while, with a twist that is SO perfectly executed, I never saw it coming. Out on the 25th from @holly.bsky.social
