We're talking about writing superstitions this week at Criminal Minds. Me? Of course not. It's not unlucky to miss your new book jacket out of of your blog pics. That's not why it's there.

In a month. A month from today. I'll take care of the whole thing, Johnny. All you gotta do is show up.

You don't have to get the film reference to come along, eat cake, drink wine and buy a book (doesn't have to be *my* book) but it is the full moon that night . . .

Another Halloween entry - very different book but also Scottish. @catrionamcp.bsky.social Cartiona McPherson's Edinburgh Murders is second in a great new series - and the children's Halloween party is excellent. More apples, and also treacle scones clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/2025/10/more...

I've been writing a long time. I've finally done what it takes to write a blog fairly titled "Citizen Sausage". I'm very proud.

Dru Ann Love is a BIG deal up here at the cozy end of the mystery community and she really, *really* likes my new book.

"fast-paced and well-written mystery where nothing is as it seems ... one of the best books in the series

Birthday books from Wednesday. It's decisions, decisions this #FridayReads. Also, here's why "what sort of books do you like?" gets nothing from me but a long silence.

I'm not answering for John, but personally: buy new, buy secondhand, get from a friend, borrow from a library . . . anything except downloading from a pirate site is fine by me.

We need a hashtag for posting fluff at the mo. Maybe #everythingisshitbut?

Anyway, #EISB we're all whining about the bits of our cushy jobs that we nevertheless don't love like a basket of kittens, this week on the Criminal Minds blog. So relatable . . .

Winters CA, pop. 7,000 (53% Latino (many visa and greencard holders)). An estimated 100-150 citizens showed up to do what it wasn't safe for over half of Winters residents to do. Even though it would have been legal. One inflatable cow!

Ohhhhhh yeah. I'm British and moved to California. Once at a fundraising lunch a nice white lady asked me what I thought of all the immigrants. I said "Well, I *am* one." (She had to be switched off and switched on again.)

How incapable am I of having written this? Let me count the ways. But I get title-envy, right? AS THE WICKED WATCH, Tamron Hall's brilliant and brutal debut about the murder of a Black child on Chicago's South Side for #FridayReads

Ah yes, "Marxists on full display" - because no one is more flamboyant than a Marxist.

I've said this before, but one of the more striking things about the current generation of righties is that they really show no sign of understanding that there's a world *beyond* their screens, beyond owning & being owned on social media. A real world, with real people & real problems.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Right? Whether "moving fast and breaking things" is a good idea or not . . . very much depends on which things.

Also look out for R.C. Sheriff THE FORTNIGHT IN SEPTEMBER. In fact, a lot of Persephone Press's output might be just the ticket.
