Author Anna Caig at Orkney Library with her book The Wise Witch of Orkney

Huge thanks to Anna Caig for coming along to Orkney Library last night to talk to Daniel Aubrey about her brand new novel The Wise Witch of Orkney.

It was a lovely evening and a fascinating discussion.

The Wise Witch of Orkney is available now.

Hawaii: A Kingdom Crossing Oceans review – a feather-filled thriller full of gods, gourds and ghosts This retelling of Captain Cook’s death and the merging of two cultures is a trove of miraculously preserved wonders – but beware of the shark-toothed club!

New exhibition, "Hawaii: A Kingdom Crossing Oceans" opens at the British Museum on 15 Jan. If any newspaper or magazine editors would like me to review it, please get in touch! I'm an award-winning historian of the age of European exploration.

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

Read a brilliantly nerdy stat that the three Traitors were the only #CelebrityTraitors contestants whose ages were square numbers: Jonathan Ross - 64 (8x8), Alan Carr - 49 (7x7), Cat Burns - 25 (5x5)πŸ€”

Country diary: Red-hot spindle sets the hedgerow ablaze | Nic Wilson Braughing, Hertfordshire: This fiery plant is one of the most startling sights of autumn – and it has a place in history in this county

In today's @theguardian.com country diary, I'm hunting for the county's first ever recorded wild plant along the same the road where it was spotted by the father of British botany, William Turner, in 1548.

If you join us in real time, you'll be able to interact and ask questions too.I LOVE that we're starting with these two writers - who's work is so different on the face of things. We're a group of authors supporting each other to find readers, and across our cohort there is a HUGE range of subject matter and genre, across both fiction and non-fiction. We are wholeheartedly embracing this variety. We’re posing a gentle challenge to the idea that readers like to stick to one genre or type of book - and Surekha and Karen's work really epitomises this. We know almost no one who reads like this - do you?#ReadingRecommendations #LiveChat #AuthorLife #AuthorChat #JoinUsView all comments

A light, #booksky diversion: delighted to be doing an Instagram Live on Weds 22 Oct, at 12 noon ET / 5pm UK, a light-hearted convo with novelists @annacaig.bsky.social and @karenstoreyauthor.bsky.social! Anne will interview Karen and me about our new books.
