Oof. Watching Interview with the Vampire for the first time in decades. To say it’s problematic is an understatement with its slave-owning protagonist and paedo subtext. And Brad Pitt is so uncomfortable in his stiff role. Cruise is having fun though.

This was a Christmas gift and I thought I might not enjoy it due to my perhaps unfair prejudice against celebrity authors. But Judi Dench’s passion and insight into the many characters she’s played throughout her life has proven scintillating company. Frightfully middle-class yes, but recommended

Just finished Whatever You Are Is Beautiful by rblandford.bsky.social and loved it. Brilliant comic novel that is ostensibly about superheroes but isn’t really. It’s about almost everything else. Looking forward to reading more of his books in the near future

The Voice of The Artful Dodger.
Another piece I wrote for The Fiction Desk when my debut was published in 2013. This is about developing Dodgers first-person voice, vocab, slang, attitudes and why he'd be putting pen to paper in the first place

The Artful Dodger and the First Dickensians.
Here's an article I wrote for The Fiction Desk when my debut novel Dodger was first released explaining why I love Jack Dawkins and CD's early novels

Who fancies a penny dreadful? Cos it's republication day for my debut novel Dodger and I've priced the ebook at 99p (the modern equivalent of a penny!)
Jack Dawkins, English literature's most famous thief, is back in his own series and up to his old tricks
