Thanks for stopping by, Marian. I hope you're also doing well. #booksky #finallymadeit

"As for length, well they say that doesn’t matter, it’s what you do with it that counts. And make no mistake, Stitch does many, many things throughout this poly-novel . . . " Thanks to @marcdefaoite.bsky.social, another writer weighing in at Goodreads. #booksky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

My letter in this week’s issue of @thetls.bsky.social Finding myself in uncharted waters, I felt it necessary. Share if you care about making room in our literary culture for work that swims against the tide.

This, apparently, is a warehouse of books to be scanned by Anthropic and then burned/pulped. Could be a scene from The Coast of Everything. Order at www.thecoastofeverything.com

Great to see the book get some support! Thanks to writer and critic Lee Rourke. #booksky

"An inept review in the TLS likened "Coast" to David Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas", mainly due to its 'nested' make-up—like Russian dolls. It is more complicated, and ambitious, than that." David Rose, author of 'Meridian' and a writer I hugely admire, weighs in. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

A sighting in the wild. Thanks to @davidcollard.bsky.social who spotted the book in good company in @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk #booksky

Many thanks to @davidcollard.bsky.social for hosting this event last night, and this after traipsing around London and Dublin with me to launch the book there. By the end of the week I felt we were a couple of carnies. Very enjoyable. Must dry out. #booksky

Thanks to @hotpress.com for this piece in the current issue.

My first book was published during the pandemic, just as all the shops closed, and even at the best of times tiny presses will struggle with brick & mortar bookshops—so this is my first ever such sighting. @hodgesfiggis.bsky.social I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING.

Name in lights. #booksky

“Look, I like confidence as much as the next man. It’s an attractive quality. But in a city of twenty million people I think we may need to look in more than one place.” www.thecoastofeverything.com
