Thanks to everyone for all the lovely messages on my publication day yesterday, and a special thank you to @FavelParrett, Tony Birch, @LaurieSteed and @MeredithJaffe for taking time out to read and endorse a debut novel. Feeling very grateful!
Thibault Le Texier’s forensic research into the #StanfordPrisonExperiment has just been published in English. I write about how it is an eyeopening, shocking and engrossing read.

You are about to see in real time over the next 4 days how the media can choose who it humanizes and who it villainizes, who is a child and who is a minor, who is a mother and who is an accomplice. Who is a hostage and who is a prisoner. In short who is innocent and who is not.

Lovely round up of a terrific regional festival - thanks @Irma_Gold - I would never have guessed you were once a nervous public speaker!
I had such an amazing time at Write Around the Murray and I’ve finally found some time to write all about it. Up on the blog now.
