Everyone has their fave bookshops and if Waterstones is yours, there’s 25% off The Benefactors pre-orders over the weekend with PREORDER25. Obvs this doesn’t just apply to my own book. If you don’t like the sound of Bennyz what about other novel debuts @cmgleeson.bsky.social or John Patrick McHugh?

It’s official! THESE DAYS will be out in the US on 8 April with Sarah Jessica Parker’s imprint at Zando, SJPLit. I love the ethos of the imprint and I LOVE the US cover - a detail from a painting by Scottish artist Alberto Morocco.
