Dear Leader @realDonaldTrump Your Orangeness should come to the @bozzyfest in Scotland on May 10 at 5pm to hear the great @alittl quiz me about @navalny. He was a brave Russian (with warts and all) who stood up to Vladimir Putin. He was poisoned, survived, then poisoned again. Read my book Murder In The Gulag. You might understand the killer in the Kremlin better. No KGB. Find out more about what’s on offer, at boswellbookfestival.co.uk

Helen’s Judgement is out next month. This story, of Helen and Achilles, means so much to me. The research/writing began over 20 years ago, interspersed with other projects and life disruptions. I had such hopes. @NeemTreePress @unbounders #GreekMythology #HistoricalFiction
