‘Miss Costello said to me: "You haven't a good word to say for anyone but the failures". I thought that was quite the nicest thing anyone had said to me for a long time.’

Sheesh. Almost clean forgot I have a book out. Puppet Nation. If fast action paced political spy thrillers tickle your pickle then you can order it via various book websites.

#booksky, can you help? In so many ways this has been a glorious week of collaboration and support, but it’s ended on a downer…
Reader, we need you. This morning we woke to the extraordinary news that our bank accidentally duplicated several of our payments that were scheduled to be paid – ‘we’re sorry for any inconvenience.’ As you no doubt know, small presses, like many small businesses, are run on a knife edge, and as our print reps will attest, every transaction is a haggle, a struggle to ensure survival. To be clear, this will not kill us off, but we do need to quickly find around £1,000 to pay our next print bills on time. It’s a hard time for so many, we know, and we do not ask this lightly, but if you’re planning on buying books for Christmas presents, it would make the world of difference if you headed to our site today and bought a book. 🧡

‘At the Opera House that evening was H.M.S Pinochet, the high-kicking tale of a shopkeeper's daughter who dreams of one day peddling arms to Latin American dictatorships.’

Another very enjoyable read courtesy of @northernmailman.bsky.social but I’ve been trying to track down somewhere where I can see a performance of ‘HMS Pinochet’ and I have to say, it’s a bit like he’s just making stuff up…

‘Apparently the next great ecological disaster is overhyped celebrity novels. It’s true. They found a dead whale on the Southeast coast and when they cut it open there were 17 Richard Osman books inside. Charity shops won’t take them anymore so people are just pitching them into the sea.’

Latest read.
I’m a bit behind everyone else but the latest from our pal @northernmailman.bsky.social is another entertaining tour of the less salubrious parts of Manchester and Salford. Perfect for exiled Mancs.
When are we getting the trilogy Nick?

Latest Big Sam update: it’s 1971 and the Nobel Laureate has just been asked to leave a Maltese church because he’s wearing shorts.
Big Samuel Beckett is not impressed.

A dachshund goes missing, a disgraced author disappears, a local death cult may or may not be on the loose. When all seems lost, call Hunter.

This is all very welcome but for the mistake in the final paragraphs; Shelagh Delaney was from Salford!
Get it right MANCHESTER Guardian!
Hopefully, after a period of much talk and little action, the city that gave us Shelagh Delaney, Caroline Aherne and the Gallagher brothers can lead the way.
