This little map was drawn by #djangopinter to accompany the reader through the landscape of Broken Horses - I consulted so many beautiful maps along the way, they found their way into the heart of the story…

Sorry about the flare-up. I used to enjoy your posts. My good news is that I’m finding creative joy in tiny things, and it has reminded me of Perfect Day, a film I’d like to watch again for its slow precision and its delight in overlooked loveliness. Thanks for being present here

I saw this photo of a boxer in Santiago, 2017. I love the image for its vulnerability, magnetism and power. It became the inspiration for a character in my novel, Broken Horses.

The cover for Broken Horses is so beautiful, I thought I’d share this tiny clip of the careful, painstaking process involved in developing such a lovely artwork. Thanks to @linenpressbooks and to Django Pinter for his gorgeous work.

The real Salt Path: how the couple behind a bestseller le... Penniless and homeless, the Winns found fame and fortune with the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. We can reveal it was far from the truth

I spent months on this investigation and gathered docs from the UK courts, Land Registry and a French local authority, to show that Raynor and Moth Winn's story is not as they claim. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social @observeruk.bsky.social

Oof. So many interesting thoughts here around the ‘contract’ a writer must enter into with their readers in order to create trust. Emotional truth, actual truth, and how it feels to have that trust broken in this way
