There’s a new bookstore in town and it only stocks ME ME ME!

I’ve added a bookshop to my website so you can buy paperbacks, hardbacks and limited editions directly (with or without my signature!)

Tonight’s movie. Yes, Madam!
Not seen it but Michele Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock… 👌🏻

In addition to my crime-comedy books being set in the fictional UK city of Kilchester, I sometimes get caught up in procrastinatory shenanigans such as creating logos for the equally fictional businesses that exist there.

I suppose I should probably (occasionally) do obtuse introduction-adjacent posts.

Popped into Newcastle and picked up a bargain blu ray of the Lavender Hill Mob - Alec Guinness, Sid James, Audrey Hepburn AND Stanley Holloway!
Ealing Comedies ftw!

Some cafes take their art seriously…

It has been almost a hundred years since the last great work on comedy… @gralefrit.bsky.social have you seen this one?

Happened again today...

I need to commission something to go with the next novel when it’s finished, don’t I?
Also included was this ace card which I have put straight in my wallet like a grown up.

New bookmarks are something to shout about, right? I bought these Kate Bush dancing bookmarks from the marvellous This Is Fun, Isn’t It? and frankly had to show them off.
I’ve followed Sarah @ This Is Fun, Isn’t It? for a while now (not in a weird way…) and you should check out her phenomenal art

Ordered a copy of Dali to check how the new cover looked in real life.
I’d debated how much of the fake creases and worn corners I should have.
Apparently Amazon decided NOT ENOUGH, NOT BY A LONG SHOT.

Or... y'know... get the story it comes from instead?

Too tame? How about the mascot for Kil-a-Pizza. The smiling, deranged Mister Killeroni.
He could murder a slice and he might murder you too!
I don't know why the models are so happy about it. People know they're wrong and they will cross the street to avoid them.

By popular demand... and modelled by psychopaths...
From my story 'Just A Girl' the logo from Kilchester's finest pizzeria 'Kil-a-Pizza' is now available on a host of merchandise.

Old and worn out (The cover - not me)
All the Kilchester covers have a little texture... destroyed the corners of the new Dali Deception cover but as much as I love it I can't bring myself to have the curled corners on the paperback in case people think it's actually knackered :D

If you haven't read it then, frankly, I despair. Get on it now. It'll only take you twenty minutes to read and it's better than all that other crap out there.
Can't be bothered to buy it or can't afford it? You can get it free by going my mailing list:

I'M A FIVE STAR MAN!
This is just a quick little brag/reminder... Currently every single review that 'Just A Girl' has received is 5*
And only one of those is from me
If you've read it already why not leave a formidable handful of stars for it somewhere?

Reader, I didn’t ask for background, I just assumed it was a warning that the shop was haunted by dangerous spirit ‘Lost Mary’ then ran until my lungs burned. Which of us can say we’d have done differently?
