A friend suggested to me I should pitch Drifting North as 'like The Salt Path, but real.'
Some autumn book events for you.

We've a mini-tour organised for when Drifting North comes out in October/November, and an appearance at Clifton Lit Fest in Bristol.

New event klaxon. On October 29 I'm in Bristol on the Drifting North book tour. Its's at Bookhaus, a great independent bookshop and delighted to be sharing and chairing with Marianna Dudley. bookhausbristol.com/events/#e133834

Looking at you Glasgow. Same size as Manchester, transport system stuck in about 1988. No, in fact it was better in 1988.
This is what transport ambition looks like. And I'm all for it.

Hi @AvantiWestCoast you have conflicting info for passengers heading to Glasgow. Traincrews saying they have been told termination at Carlisle with no onward travel but line open and signalling operational. Could you please clarify with your ops.
Big book news. East coast launch at the Portobello Bookshop. Picking books up from here got me through covid lockdown, so nice to return as n author. theportobellobookshop.com/events/dominic…
I've been fortunate to get some rather lovely endorsements of Drifting North ahead of publication. More info on my website here domhinde.com/2355-2/
It lives! If you're a journalist or reviewer and want a preview copy drop me a line.

Had to chuckle at this suggested ad for a Reform UK hat obviously made in China.

Excited to present a paper next week in Dundee on the process of writing Drifting North and the benefits of anthropological road trips.
