Sometime ago I was on here looking for a probation officer who was working in 2010 in the UK and who also might have worked with prisoners pre release. I can’t remember who got in touch but if there is anyone who fits the bill, pls get in touch. It’s for a book,
Many thanks.

Reading the final pages of The Betrayal of Thomas True in Sitges 🦚 — @ajwestauthor.bsky.social has written a dazzling work of queer history and storytelling. Its evocation of 18th century persecution mirrors today’s prejudices with chilling clarity, yet reminds us that love always outlives hate ❤️

The Betrayal of Thomas True by @ajwestauthor.bsky.social is a delightful thriller / historical romance, populated by C18th mollies, the queers of their era.

Well, Thomas True is in the top ten of gay romance on Kindle. Can we make him rise through the soft (apparently quite hard) pornography? 99p until tomorrow! amzn.eu/d/bQ4OKBw
