Happy World Cat Day to all you cats and your staff from Mr Terry Moggie. He is celebrating with chicken the staff cooked for him and several naps.
Putting this up again because I love it so much. Manul mum and kittens at Port Lympne zoo In Kent UK.
Manul in England. A mum and two youngster at Port Lympne Zoo in Kent. My husband took this video. What a privilege!
The boys are back in town. Published today, Serpent’s Tongue. Strange art, murder, snakey things, murder.
Happy Cetin Ikmen day to all who celebrate. He doesn’t but he appreciates all those who do. He’s got a cat, a cigarette and a cup of coffee so thick you could walk a horse across it so he’s happy.
There’s a body hidden in a creaky old building in this book. If you like that sort of thing then ask someone for this book for Christmas. If not, buy it yourself for someone who is that way inclined.
Published 4 Sept. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy and I can tell you it’s brilliant. Syd Moore has shone a light on a little known corner of World War 2 and produced a fabulous, meticulously researched, icy adventure that is eerie and thrilling.
Beautiful flowers sent to me to celebrate the publication of The Wooden Library by @headlinebooks.bsky.social Thank you!
Not long back from Istanbul where I went tiptoeing through these guys in Goztepe Park, Twas the annual Tulip Festival which was as always, stunning.

Received my author copies of THE EAST HAM GOLEM today. Think it looks great.
Little door with piece of wood from the Great Fire of London at church of St Magnus in the City of London. I love my city so much. Always surprising, never disappoints. I am so proud to be a Londoner.
Before 2025 begins I just want to thank everyone who read my books, sold my books, watched the show, acted in the show and represented my work in any way. Without you I could not do this job. You’re bloody great.
Christmas is coming and the geese are getting fat, please put a penny in the old author’s hat.
The Turkish Detective at Waterstones, Gower Street. Excellent Christmas present material.
