Reading recommendations and a bit of banter — a perfect way to end a year of crime (fiction). Huge thanks to @paulcrimetime.bsky.social and CrimeTimeFM

Highly recommend this book from Dominic Nolan, le grand fromage

We all know our Gallic cousins have superior taste in crime fiction, and to prove the point Télérama have included VINE STREET in their best polars of the year. Je suis un grand nom, as if we didn't know.

Recording a special end-of-year CrimeTime episode yesterday at Newcastle Noir with Paul Burke, Trevor Wood, Jo Furniss, Rob Parker, Michael Wood, and 📸 Sam Holland. I don't know how much of our nonsense will survive the edit 😅 but we had a good laugh making it!

I’m in bloomin’ Bloomsbury to tutor a day course on “the suspense is killing me!” But writing it doesn’t have to, folks :)

“Artbarf machine” 👌 Also, it’s “only” proofreading rn (still not great for professional proofreaders, hey) but isn’t that machine learning the AI to write novels so that the next step is … artbarf

“How’d the world die? A pack of no-talent tech grifters created a digital artbarf machine to spew endless artbarf and each time the machine threw up it drank more water, destroyed more resources. Nobody wanted it but they did it anyway! Eat your roach paste.”
