Happy birthday The Portobello Bookshop - 4 years old! Thank you for a great birthday party. We couldn’t ask for a better local bookshop. Fraser Ross Assoc Mairi Kidd Bellfield Brewery
It's been a joy of 4 years since the book 'STRONG BRAVE TRUE - Great Scots Who Changed the World and How You Can Too!' was published. Written by Mairi Kidd & illustrated by me, it's still going strong, I'm off to Faclan An Lanntair in Lewis this weekend. lanntair.com/events/event/s…

It was a proper honour to chat books and writing with Elle McNicoll ✍🏻📚🩷💜💙 with such an amazing audience, thank you The Portobello Bookshop and everyone who came along and tuned in!

Reading this article here in Scotland while our arts funding is getting sliced again and again is agony. And yet it shows a different world is possible. It doesn't have to be this way, and it shouldn't. Read and rage and then let's do something about it✊ theguardian.com/books/article/…
Incredible timing for this Guardian piece to land. As I was saying...incredibly hard not to compare and contrast with Scottish Government's sawing through the parachute cords.
Big thanks to Herald Mag & Arts and Teddy Jamieson for such a kind write-up of The Specimens
A few folk have asked me about buying The Specimens and having it signed. My AMAZING local bookshop The Portobello Bookshop can arrange this with one click (or so). Let's hear it for local bookshops (I mean obviously ours is the best but that's how local works, right?!) x
Appearing at Bloody Scotland was a sort of 'level unlocked' joy for me - on stage with Chris Brookmyre and Marisa Haetzman aka Ambrose Parry, no less, minutes before Chris won the McIlvanney Prize. Lovely to hear Tony Garner read too. Thanks Bob McDevitt and team x
