I'm taking a short break from X. Basically I need to write more books like the one below and that requires a social media detox. You can still DM me if I owe you money.
7 years ago today, my manager Mely Corado was shot and killed by the LAPD.
Recent Reads: 'The Satanic Screen' thoroughly enjoyed this insight of the incarnations of Satan in film. 'Love Me Fierce in Danger' I was gripped into Ellroy's turbulent world, a compelling biography. 'The Peacock and the Sparrow' a thrilling spy novel debut.
Interrupting my X sabbatical to promote my interview with @DLGowlandWrites about her new novel 'The Missing Wife'. Fans of Mary Shelley and gothic fiction will love this book
I've had a wonderful chat with @EllroyReader about all things #TheMissingWife #maryshelley #writing venetianvase.co.uk/2025/07/16/mar…
'Beijing insists that the Dalai Lama's reincarnation needs government approval through the lot-drawing system.' Good job these guys weren't around for the resurrection or parting of the Red Sea! bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq6m…
'It is normally necessary to explain the effect of such a minimum term in detail but given your age of 92 and for all practical purposes, I can do so in very short terms. You will never be released, you will die in prison' Succinct closing to this judge's sentencing remarks.
Britain's oldest cold case, the murder of Louisa Dunne in 1967, has been solved. Sterling work all round. Now if we can just get the same detectives to work on the Jean Ellroy case from 1958... mol.im/a/14817245 via @MailOnline

The duckweed and algae is so heavy on this pond at Ness Gardens that you feel like you could almost walk across it...

Port Sunlight is a one factory town, or in this case Village. But rarely do you find a factory as beautiful as Lever House.

Demi Moore was eager to play the stripper Kate Piro in a film adaptation of 'Little Odessa'. Sadly that fell through and we got Demi in 'Striptease' instead, a major turkey based on the Carl Hiaasen novel.
