My weekend so far - interviewing @caimhmc.bsky.social at Leeds Waterstones, marching in support of immigrants with the Prof (and 3000 other Leeds folks), and tackling our first potato harvest. Time very well spent.

Two authors sitting on front of an audience in a bookshop - C K McDonnell and Andrew Knighton.

Two people smiling for the camera, one of them holding a "refugees welcome" sign, with other demonstrators visible behind them.

Rows of potatoes laid out on a garage floor.

Happy Bookshop Day! Last week I visited my book Cottonopolis at radical booksellers Housmans nr Kings Cross London. If only I could stretch big enough to hug the whole shop.

If you're after a historical LGBTQ novel for readers young and old, find it here ❤️🏳️‍🌈

A great evening @blackwellsmcr.bsky.social ...
The fact that @talkscaredpod.bsky.social and @manylittlewords.bsky.social are amazing insightful speakers, as well as super talented horror writers is probably not fair!
Stoked to have had the pleasure to attend tonight's sold out event 🖤
Thanks!

Cannot recommend these 3 enough.

And, legitimately, all 3 are based on real things!

-One as the author's experience as an outsider
-One about the accusations thrown at real women
-One about the real British military research into magic to battle rumoured Nazi occult powers 😅

Definitely! It's a book we'd like to get into more hands because it's such a great message. Fingers crossed we can push it further this month 🤞
