They mentioned this in the Great Lives anniversary programme and it’s really interesting. There’s a similar reluctance by men to buy books by female authors.

I worked for Rosie Duffield MP.

Her dignity in the face of a constant hail of misogynistic threats and abuse was unreal to behold. I won't say much here, as it's not my place, but it was an honour to work for such a decent, kind, and devoted MP.

This. Humza Yousaf was free to show his faith in Bute House; Kate Forbes dares to show hers and she’s vilified. Why? Answers on the back of any feminist text of your choosing.

My latest book is 99p on Amazon for the whole of May. It took me 2 years to write and edit so that’s like ONE PENCE A WEEK. Go buy it!

“Those who lacked the moral fibre and critical faculties to call out what was happening in plain sight now seek to recast their behaviour as a kind of goodness overreach.”

Please stop saying 'gotten'. I beg you. You're not a Texan rodeo rider or a short order cook at Greasy Pete's Waffle House just off Route 66.

You live in Chalfont St Giles and play badminton.

Loving the amazing Hatchards window on Piccadilly!

Signing copies of #ProfileK Goldsboro Books today. Lunch in Covent Garden with my son, and a few shops was an added bonus. Lovely day!

I love it so much. All my favourite bits are like this: crystal battlements, angels being thrown out of heaven, the sense of scale and grandeur. There's nothing else like it.

I would find this harder to deal with than angry protesters

When will a newborn baby's cry stop being like a dagger to my heart? Never bothered me until I had kids and now I can't hear a newborn without going into a hypervigilant panic state.

Doing a clear out. Came across one of the most exciting letters i ever got. I haven't looked back...

What a thrill to be included in this stellar list of authors who have written books about books. Thank you Woman's World Magazine! womansworld.com/posts/books/bo…

To the people who recommended Baby Reindeer:

Why? WHY?!

I feel like I need to put my brain in bleach.

Rather later than I hoped it was my pleasure today to share my latest My Weekly online review of the menacing #ProfileK by Helen S Fields out now from Avon Books UK myweekly.co.uk/2024/04/25/pro…

As MPs debate assisted dying, here’s why having once supported it I now find it v hard to do so. I think state-sanctioned wrongful deaths will be inevitable.

When the right to die becomes the duty to die, who will step in to save those most at risk? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Join us. Mark Billingham is - you know - pretty good company. I promise fun, silliness, book talk and wine, so that's about as good as the world gets right now.

I watched Baby Reindeer with a deeply uncomfortable sense of recognition - because over ten years ago, I attracted the attention of a stalker, and like Donny in the show, I made the mistake of inviting her into my life
