I’ve just come back from a book tour of New York organised by my US publisher, Tin House. I’ve been to America before, but never New York and I had an amazing time. So many lovely people, so many cool things, so many surprise and wonderful meetings.

I met my Tin House editor, Masie Cochran for Continue reading →

Such a great event @thegreenbookshop in Herne Bay last night. Thanks to Jacqui for hosting and to everyone for coming including @thelibraryofimagination. Plus I got to spot Cliff Richard! 😂 Scroll along to see. Compensation by @churchofaugustinecerf is a darkly funny novel of dangerous choices, and a brilliant study of human nature. Wow, what a voice, what a story. I absolutely loved The Summer My Mother had Green Eyes by Tatiana Țîbuleac, but it’s not an easy read. I listened to it, via @xigxag_official. Beautiful nature writing in this novel about 12 year old Pietro. Who remembers the long hot summer of 1976? For me it was playing in the stream at the bottom of the garden, staying outside until it was nearly dark, lying under just a sheet as my mum billowed it, and the salty smell of my grubby knees. Absolutely delighted that Unquiet Guests, the anthology of haunted house stories from @deadinkbooks and edited by @dan.coxon.author, and which includes my short story Another Land Beneath has won the @shirleyjacksonawards for Edited Anthology. On Saturday 25th July I’ll be @thegreenbookshop in Herne Bay, Kent, talking about Hunger and Thirst as part of @hernebayfest. And I’d love it if you can join me. Tickets via the book shop bio. Hope to see you there! If you’re in southern England at the moment or various other places in the world, you might be feeling the heat. It can be hard to escape the sun but here’s where fiction can help. If you can’t get to an actual forest or wood, then reading a story set in one is the next best thing. Even better is taking your chosen forest-set novel and reading it in the shade of the trees. Throwback Thursday to August 2022 when I was on stage @edbookfest with a giant Miriam Toews. I was being interviewed by @leerandall20 about Unsettled Ground which had won the Costa novella prize the previous year.
