Loretta Swit, delivering one of my favourite moments in all TV. I must have thought of her delivery of the line “Did you ever once ever offer me a lousy cup of coffee” once a month for thirty-five years.

The most gifted researcher and writer (@susannahstapleton.bsky.social) has painstakingly pieced together a new book, but written it with such deftness, you won’t feel a thing…
It’ll be filed under True Crime, but it’s all character and community around Olive Branson’s grim demise. #ThatDarkSpring

10 years ago today that my debut novel came out. What brilliant people helped bring it into the world.
I think one update every 10 years on book 2 is OK. I'm 90,000 words in, and feeling very good. Finished this year -- then it's out of my hands, and hopefully into yours.

I had no idea! A bit of scratching-around research led me to a few photos hiding away on a flickr account I have no memory of setting up. Apparently 1st September 2007, which tallies.
