Just completed this mesmerising novel by @newlands.bsky.social
Each chapter draws you in with a descriptive narrative that flows with each page turn.
Sometimes on reading other author work my imposter syndrome kicks in,this book also inspires me to do better. A fantastic piece of writing.

I'm heading away for a while, so I couldn't commit but would donate a few copies of my first book. If that would be of interest, Neil.

As we approach the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, why not take a nostalgic trip back to Paisley, Glasgow (and Greenock), London, Berlin, and 1985 with Cal Lynch
It all happened... honestly...

Tomorrow, the truth is waiting for you...

Bit late, but I'm finally reading this one by two great Scottish writers.

Another great review just landed. It's always good to receive feedback on your work.

Seamus Connolly @seamusauthor.bsky.social · Jun 24

This is a tremendous read by a top journalist who explored his own family past. Covering family and community bonds, which are then torn apart by fracticide. The wounds run deep. Well worth being picked up.
