Immensely proud of this and very grateful to Johnny Mains and the British Library for their collab. Buy it, read my Intro, and believe me when I say Dorothy's the real deal! 👻
Woohoo out today! It’s The Weird Tales of Dorothy K. Haynes. Edited by @craigscrolls, with a foreword by @ohsinnerman. With FIVE previously unpublished stories & Mervyn Peake illustrations. It’s a thing of chilly beauty. Available from @BL_Shop & all good bookshops.

Incredibly tired. But not so tired, it turns out, to not take in a couple of pages of this brilliantly visceral book by @rodgeglass
Only just started and know I’m going to ❤️ this. Thanks @PressTaproot

Here @Lucy_Worsley tries out our first @UofGMiM prototype for an in-depth, 360 look at some remarkable objects related to #MaryQueenOfScots! “So the only question left is, what will you put into your museum?”. No surprise - Burnsiana #RobertBurns for me! @GlasgowBurns @UofGMiM
I've created a brand new museum …in the Metaverse! @meta Quest 3 and @UofGlasgow’s ‘Museums in the Metaverse’ project has digitised thousands of artefacts so you can see and handle them from home. It's pretty cool! Visit 'my' museum here👇#ad

Please share, folks.

This looks like a GREAT shortlist. Good on @WigtownBookFest for supporting nonfiction essays in Scotland. Winning the Anne Brown in '23 made a huge difference to me & to Joshua in the Sky @PressTaproot. I'm on @WigtownBookFest on 3rd October & watching this year's prize closely.
“It is plain from the calibre of entries that Scottish writing is in fine shape.”
- Brian Taylor @TannadiceLad
We're thrilled to announce the shortlist for the Anne Brown Essay Prize - wigtownbookfestival.com/blog…

"If you can remember a great poem, you've stolen the Mona Lisa. It's now part of your body."
It was a pleasure to converse with Don Paterson, one of my favorite living poets, for Literary Matters (@donpatersonpoet, @FaberBooks). Link to interview:

My friend @rodgeglass has written a deeply moving book about the complexities of being human, the stories we tell to connect to others & to help us keep those that we’ve lost alive. It’s a thoughtful and heartbreaking read. All profits from sales goes to @curehht ❤️
