In my latest Substack article, I’m talking about the Anthropic lawsuit, what it means for authors, and most importantly what we can do as a collective to push back. 📚✍🏾

I’ve certainly been impressed – and 9 series worth ain’t bad these days! Don't tell me I need to watch Morse now as well…

Brilliant, Shona – a second career as a casting director beckons. Not that you’ll need it. I recently picked up The Bookseller of Inverness on a 99p Kindle deal, so you must be minted now . . .😉

Only recently started watching. Had prob wrongly dismissed it as cosy crime – no offence, cosy fans – but it’s got a definite edge. Really enjoying it. Good, tight scripts. Great production values. Captures the period nicely. Roger Allam can do no wrong. Ninja granny sounds like my sort of thing...

This 1930s aerial shot packs a lot in. The obvious highlights are the Royal Infirmary, Cathedral and Necropolis. Today the area is a chaotic tangle of roads servicing the M8 and only a few tenements remain.

You may have a point there...🤔

Robbie Morrison @robbiemorrison.bsky.social · Aug 29

Cheers, Shona! In fairness, the cover was done by Charlie, the artist, for the original English language edition...

It’s a great novel, now possibly due a reread. Yeah, I can see Charlie and Arkady getting along nicely – the last two good men in a bad world.

RIP Martin Cruz Smith. A fantastic writer, whose Gorky Park, one of my favourite novels, was a huge influence on me.

33 years . . . 😲

You shoot the place up in your series, I’ll shoot it up in mine, and we can compare the damage...

Well, it’s been closed since lockdown with no sign of reopening as far as I’m aware, so...

And, hey, it’s publicity!

Robbie Morrison @robbiemorrison.bsky.social · Jul 23

Which seems like a wonky way for things to work in many ways...

Robbie Morrison @robbiemorrison.bsky.social · Jul 23

I did want to use Rogano’s as a location, but it didn’t open until a couple of years after the events of the books.
