Wonder when Skynet will stop sending terminators back to kill Sarah or John Connor and try sending terminators back to stop Skynet sending terminators back to kill Sarah or John Connor and see how that goes.

Nice to see the new Scotrail timetable for the Borders railway has pre-marked all the cancelled services.

The great thing about the weird numbering system of the Die Hard films is you can pretend the shockingly bad second film doesn’t exist and you can just skip from the amazing first to the amazing third. Same rules apply with Indiana Jones films.

Just don’t buy an original copy of it. It’ll cost a fortune…

First draft of Marshall 7 done… still a ton of work to do on it, but it’s in a good place. Just a bit to do then I’m breaking for Xmas.

Ho ho ho! Apparently my very dark, 'batshit' Christmas thriller, #DyingForChristmas is just 99p on kindle for the whole of December. Rude not to really. www.amazon.co.uk/Dying-Christ...

Visitors are often pleasantry surprised to find a bookseller in Stow but we’re not the first to be established here.
Sanderson & Son was in Stow around a century ago and was one of many businesses now lost to history. We’re glad to be linked to the past through books!

I couldn't find a Starter Pack for historical crime writers so I started one. If you'd like to be added, let me know! Please share so we can build up a great list. #historicalcrime #crimewriters go.bsky.app/2oZd48F

Gary Wagner's Photos Illuminate Rugged Icelandic Fjords and Shorelines Gary Wagner’s striking photos of Iceland pare dramatic landscapes to their essential shapes, lines, and tones.

Missing Iceland Noir this weekend but these photos remind me I need to head back to my favourite country…
