Just completed this mesmerising novel by @newlands.bsky.social
Each chapter draws you in with a descriptive narrative that flows with each page turn.
Sometimes on reading other author work my imposter syndrome kicks in,this book also inspires me to do better. A fantastic piece of writing.

As we approach the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, why not take a nostalgic trip back to Paisley, Glasgow (and Greenock), London, Berlin, and 1985 with Cal Lynch
It all happened... honestly...

This is a tremendous read by a top journalist who explored his own family past. Covering family and community bonds, which are then torn apart by fracticide. The wounds run deep. Well worth being picked up.

Who is taking these people? Where are they taking them? On whose authority are they taking them? What is happening to them? And why the fuck is the American media not screaming about this outrage from the rooftops?
WE HAVE QUESTIONS…

This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?

ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.

How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Hi friends, would anyone be aware of any Scottish/UK publishers that are open for submissons for a short story collection?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
