England, 1939. A war is coming. And in the shadows, a secret resistance of witches stirs.

"A fresh and powerful take on the period. Highly recommended." 5-Stars

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.

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 😅

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 ❤️🏳️‍🌈

And still the magpie stays."
