Love the cover art for the Japanese edition.
The cover art for the Japanese edition of Death at the White Hart - the winding street of a Dorsetvillage at night with the coast on the distance. A white silhouette of a deer peeps out from between the thatched houses.

Was simultaneously thrilled and slightly terrified to be subjected to The Shoot Treatment by the brilliant @4hundredblows.bsky.social for @theanfieldwrap.bsky.social
This show - and Martin himself - always manages to provoke conversations few other interviews get to.

That Ishiguro quote, one more time.
A quote by Kazuo Ishiguro: But in the end, stories are about one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I'm saying? Does it feel this way to you?"

A blast @edbookfest.bsky.social last night, thanks to the amazing Denise Mina and a great crowd & long signing line! 35 years ago this summer I had my first full length play on at Old St Paul’s Church on the fringe - returning with a bestselling novel at the Book Festival was special.

Two children hold up tribute scarves to Diogo Jota. They’re looking out over players lining up in Anfield’s centre circle ready to honour the player’s memory with a minute’s silence, immediately before Liverpool play Bournemouth - Friday 15 August.

Not the standard interview photo.

I love @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social #TheakstonsCrime

Perfect setting, fantastic panels (always packed to the rafters, even at 10am!), joyous positive vibes throughout, super-engaged readers and a bar tent where everyone mingles together and you can chat to anyone. What a blast.

Sky Kids will no longer commission originals. Massive hit to a sector of the UK TV industry. (From Broadcast). Leaves only BBC & 5 commissioning originals for children.

A child’s Lego model of Anfield with the words Jota and YNWA left at Anfield in tribute to Diogo Jota. Also pictured a game controller with Jota 20 written on it in tribute to Jota’s love of esports. A child’s drawing of Diogo Jota’s shirt along with the message “To Jota, I miss you” Close up detail of an LFC scarf with “we sang your name, we’ll remember you heart” written on it A wall mural reads Forever 20 on memory of Diogo Jota and his shirt number. The mural features hundreds if not thousands of handwritten signatures and messages from fans.
