We've had so much focus on the Odyssey this year (rightly so!), but what of the ancient lore of our own islands? The Mabinogion contains some of the core tales of our ancient land, including Arthur. If you loved Lord of the Rings, this is essential reading. #books #livres #mythology #mythologie

Beautiful and calming view from the tower. No wonder William Morris chose to live here.

Lovely restorative weekend in the Cotswolds.

A little message about the Britain I love.

Fascinating visit to Snowshill Manor and Gardens on the way home from Murder at the Abbey. An eccentric collection of bizarre artefacts – the manor not the writers at Murder at the Abbey – that is well worth a visit.

I also want to add what a privilege it is to be a part of the crime writing community. They really are the loveliest, most supportive people, and it was a joy to be in the same event as such brilliant writers and to appear in front of a warm and engaged audience who'd travelled from near and far.

Loved Murder at the Abbey on Friday. Huge thanks to Guy Hale and @paulcrimetime.bsky.social for organising the event so brilliantly, @ponydish.bsky.social for being the perfect MC, JT Bookshop for impeccable bookshopping, my wonderful fellow authors and a smashing audience.

Who fancies a spot of Murder at the Abbey? An evening of all things crime fiction with some great authors! Come and join us in Pershore on Friday at 7pm for murder, mayhem and maybe a few laughs. Tickets here: www.number8.org/event/murder...

Lovely event at the brilliant Coleford Library to launch The Art of Occupation. I'm always made to feel very welcome by the fabulous librarians and audience, and it was a joy to be there. And when @alishawkinsauthor.bsky.social is the interviewer, you really are a very lucky author. Thank you!

On 5 June, I'll be taking part in the first Murder at the Abbey, with fabulous authors @paulcrimetime.bsky.social Guy Hale, @tonyfisherfjg.bsky.social Abir Mukherjee @cazengland.bsky.social @jocallaghankat.bsky.social @tommeadauthor.bsky.social @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social www.number8.org/event/.

Less than a week to go until the @thecwa.bsky.social National Crime Reading Month launch event. I'll be one of the authors reading from my work for Noir at the Bar, which promises to be great fun. Looking forward to seeing you there. stan.store/.../national....

The view this morning. Hope you're all having a good day.

Very excited about going to the fabulous Waterstones Aberystwyth on Thursday 28 to launch The Art of Occupation, where I'll be in conversation with my brilliant friend @alishawkinsauthor.bsky.social. If you're in Aber on Thursday, please come along and say hello. www.waterstones.com/.../in.../ab...

Second event was at my brilliant award-winning local indie Griffin Books. Book people really are the nicest, and I want to say a huge thank you to Mel, Lucy, Dawn and all of Griffin's amazing team, to a warm and lovely audience and to my fellow Crime Cymru authors. It's a privilege to know you all.

A lovely couple of events this week. First up was the fabulous Waterstones Hereford where I chatted all things historical crime fiction with my great friend @alishawkinsauthor.bsky.social. Huge thank to a warm and engaged audience and to Vic for organising and Hayley for looking after us so well.

And if you're going to be in Penarth this week – Thursday 21st May at 7.30pm to be more precise – come along to the wonderful Griffin Books where I'll be chatting about The Art of Occupation and the stories behind it. www.ticketsource.com/griffinbooks...

Thrilled to be starting a tour of events this week with my great friend @alishawkinsauthor.bsky.social. On Tuesday (19th May), we'll be at the lovely Waterstones Hereford to talk about all things historical crime fiction and our new books. www.waterstones.com/.../chris-ll...

Llyfr Agored will be an uncomfortable read for the people who wronged Ant Evans. But with warmth, humour and emotional honesty, the author also acquaints us with good people and an important perspective on being a disabled man in Wales ✍️ Malachy Edwards

Book Review: Llyfr Agored by Ant Evans

The final Jonas Flynt thriller is OUT NOW in hardback (in good bookshops) and ebook. I like it (but then I would say that). But I'm not alone...

My first sighting of The Art of Occupation in the wild!! And it's in Griffin Books. And I've scribbled in it... and in a few more. If anyone catches sight of a copy in their local bookshop, I'd love a photo!

Congratulations to @chrislloydauthor.bsky.social on the release of The Art of Occupation! Paris, WWII: Eddie investigates looted art at the Jeu de Paume. He must win the trust of curator Rose, but can he trust her? The answers lie in the museum's most secretive collection. amazon.co.uk/dp/1409190404
