And we love Simon Mayo 🇺🇦 right back because he is a terrific champion of writers, thank you Simon!

And we're off. The first event of book tour is tomorrow - really looking forward to Noirwich, followed by Swaffham on Sunday. It's always a little strange taking a new book out into the world for the first time - like Baby's first trip out in a pram. Norfolk, be kind.

'In the early stages of a book I have to go hunting for it and A Bird in Winter was no exception.'

Louise Doughty takes us along on her research trip for A Bird In Winter in our latest Disposable Camera Diaries feature.

Really looking forward to this event with Guinevere Glasfurd 🇺🇦🌻 - your ticket includes afternoon tea and all money raised will go towards a much-needed hospice.

Support your local library!

There are so many pictures I could re-post from a wonderful evening Faber Books but I love these photos of me and Louisa perched precariously on a windowsill for the speeches. Thank you to everyone at Faber and everyone who came along. I am officially launched.

It’s publication day and I couldn’t be more grateful to everyone at the amazing Faber Books - especially Louisa Kate Burton but many, many more as well. Behind each novel is a crew of talented, hard-working enthusiasts and I appreciate every one. Thank you.

Thank you Fiona Hughes for this interview in Radio Times, great fun to talk to you and it's got to be Idris for Bond.

If you haven't read or listened to Dr Jo Clement s wonderful essay in writersmosaic yet, pour your morning coffee and give yourself a treat.

'Nobody but me knows what I am doing or where I'm going: what a secret, soaring thought. I'm hurtling away from my life. I've done it. I'm gone.'

Following a woman on the run, Louise Doughty's tense new novel A Bird in Winter is out this week.

Terrific interview with Anne Enright by Alex Clark in the The Irish Times

Four raves last weekend and one stinker today. Hey ho. Swings and roundabouts and all that.

I’m donating a signed book for this but will also offer a talk or workshop if anyone is interested - and if anyone out there can bid or offer a prize, please do.

Awfully proud my show is on the slate of the amazing #DancingLedgeProductions Chris Carey particularly when they do so much to encourage new writers.

Congratulations to all at #DancingLedgeProductions for this huge award - richly deserved. Hope you’re partying tonight! 🥂😘

Taking part in @ThePigeonhole has been very interesting - an online book group where people read a book and comment in real time. The contributors have spotted all sorts of small things in #ABirdinWinter that I hadn’t properly considered. Makes you think, so it does.

This is a terrific list from ⁦Kim Sherwood⁩ ⁦Guardian Books⁩ - I love the broadness of it. How many people know that Muriel Spark wrote a spy novel? theguardian.com/books/2023/aug…
