Thank you to Edinburgh's brilliant bookshops The Portobello Bookshop Golden Hare Books Topping & Company Booksellers of Edinburgh Waterstones Edinburgh West End Lighthouse - Edinburgh’s Radical Bookshop Blackwell's Edinburgh Far From The Madding Crowd Bookshop for having me in to sign copies and chit chat. Bookshops are so important to readers and TO ME /1

And an extra special thank you for The Edinburgh Bookshop for hosting a live, v socially distanced 20 people in the evening which allowed me to talk about how sex positive the Georgians were in a church. Yes. And when I got home Hodder Fiction had sent FLOWERS .... Look! 👇

Huge thanks again to Sara Sheridan , Jenny Brown & everyone who came along to our first in-person book launch since before the pandemic. If you couldn't make it, Sara is doing an online event with Wee Three Indies this evening edinburghbookshop.com/events #books #Edinburgh

And we are live with Sara Sheridan! So excited to hear more about the Fair Botanists, and to see our Wee Three Indies pals The Edinburgh Bookshop & Atkinson-Pryce Books! #ChooseBookshops

Perfume, sex and botanical illustration all wrapped up in the daft days of George IV's visit to Edinburgh: you had us at perfume Sara Sheridan! #fairbotanists

We will definitely be walking through the New Town with wider eyes in future, it'd be helpful if we could have a recording of Sara Sheridan with us of course! #FairBotanists

These are some EXCELLENT questions from Lily Cooper! Absolutely spellbinding event, and quite lost in dreaming about rummaging in the attics of Inverleith House... Sara Sheridan #FairBotanists

If it's rude enough to make Sara Sheridan blush, we'll be digging out our battered copy of Burns later! #FairBotanists

Everyone needs a little frisson at the breakfast table. Goes lovely with toast Sara Sheridan #FairBotanists #ChooseBookshops

Rambunctious is not a word that's used enough to describe things. Georgian Edinburgh seems very apt! Sara Sheridan #FairBotanists

This is amazing. We've gone from sex on toast to the end of the Enlightenment being caused by the New Town stifling the creative city. I do love an author event with Sara Sheridan Wide ranging indeed! #ChooseBookshops #FairBotanists

What a brilliant event, we've learned loads and will be visiting the Botanics as soon as possible! HUGE thanks to Sara Sheridan & Lily Cooper for the brilliant chat, SIGNED copies of The Fair Botanists are available from your favourite indie now!
