Very thrilled to introduce Hope Adams, who is my alter ego.
London, 1841. The Rajah sails for Australia. Aboard: 180 women convicted of petty crimes. They have only each other. Until the murder. Based on a true story, we can't wait for Hope Adams' #DangerousWomen. Be the first to read on Netgalley: netgal.ly/KIKMKM @adelegeras

Tom Lehrer has left us, aged 97. An incredible talent who, in 2023, put all his songs and recordings into the public domain, making them free for anyone to use for anything, forever. What a remarkable bloke.
This is very sad news. Part of the fabric of my youth….may his memory be for a blessing.
The Tom Lehrer Fan Club Facebook page is reporting that Lehrer passed. RIP
A fabulous novel!
Latest read: Shy Creatures by Clare Chambers depicts with remarkable insight how a sensitive child makes sense of the world, taking his cues from those around him. Moving, flawlessly structured & written with a beautiful sense of period. Exquisite #amreading #books #sundayvibes
Helen McNichol painted 'An English Beach,' (c1905) at St Ives on the west coast of Cornwall - there is enough of a sea haze to hide the cliffs on the right-hand side of the cove; a picture that suggests long summer holidays.
Bird Spotting sitting with good company here, including @ellygriffiths who taught me on my writing masters @Cambridge_Uni :) Never thought my book would be sitting with hers! Or The Silent Patient by @AlexMichaelides who came to talk to us on the course 😍
I finished #TheGoodFather by @LiamMcIlvanney. Read it now before they turn it into tv to appreciate the truly wonderful writing. Terrific.
Gorgeous!

Couldn't be more thrilled with the stunning cover for BENBECULA. Massive thanks to everyone at @BirlinnBooks. Out 2nd October. #benbecula
Well, Robert Harris and Mick Herron recommend and I download instantly. The Sandfords are 99p each. Has anyone else read them?
In 1884, when he was working at Fontainebleau, John Lavery painted an unknown woman resting in a hammock slung between trees close to a river. That sense of dolce far niente, of beautiful youth and summer's luxuriance remained with him for the rest of his life. This is from 1904
The new Greenhouse Café at @Scotsdales in Great Shelford is really lovely! @AnneMStott told me so and it’s true! Alert for all Cambridge people.
Can’t wait !
