I'd be very grateful of you could predorder this. In the UK, Speedy Hen has the best hardback price (plus free shipping - an excellent deal). @severnhouse.bsky.social

If some BBC reporters are so gung-ho about this war in the Middle East and want us to be part of it, why don’t they volunteer to go over there and report?

Watched the final episode of Small Prophets. The whole series is nigh on perfect.

It would be good to see Labour move left.

A well-deserved result in the by-election.

Out in just over a month. If you'd like to pre-order from your favourite bookseller (indies are always best), I'd be grateful.

Isn’t it curious how so much to do with Reform seems to lead to the other side of the old Iron Curtain. Handy they’re a company, not a political party, so you can’t see all the funding, isn’t it?

I think it would draw a huge crowd, but maybe not the 30k who turned out for the original.

Thank you. I've missed these stories, even if the ending isn't comfortable.

There's more coming on Holbeck Moor later this year, working with Commoners Choir. I don't actually know much about it!

This April: the second Cathy Marsden thriller.
1944, Leeds. A gangster crashes his car. What's found inside starts a trail of disappearances and deaths.
Cathy and the members of the SIB need to find the killer before more people are killed.
Pre-order from your favourite place.
It won't disappoint.

Farage says that Reform UK is now big enough to go on "if I was hit by a bus".

But is he willing to put that to the test?

So far this morning, in two separate instances, I've found two Β£10 notes. If this keeps up, I could be quite well off by the end of the month.
If they were yours, well, can you give me the serial numbers?

16.02.2026 10:18 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

Likely so.

Well, I don’t know what games they’re playing in there

The Faces Of The Dead is out April 7 in hardback and ebook. You can pre-order NOW (ideally from an indie bookshop), but I hope you'll catch up with Cathy Marsden and Leeds in 1944. A white-knuckle ride on every page, guaranteed. @severnhouse.bsky.social
