Latest read: The Blackbirds of St Giles by @lilacaine.bsky.social One of the most exciting books I've read in ages. Daniel is such a real, believable hero with flaws & secrets & huge integrity. I was rooting for him from 1st page to last. An atmospheric, compelling read. Out January 2025

Oh god it works

Bought a 1948 painting by a Ukrainian female artist from the local junk shop today. Absolutely love it.

Wonderful documentary about the art of Powell & Pressberger presented by Martin Scorsese on BBC iplayer. Strongly recommend.

I love Sarah Hyland and she’s GORGEOUS but this is what Fosse is supposed to look like. #Strictly m.youtube.com/watch?v=rw_M...

It’s a good time to say that as well as Kate Griffin, I’m also part of writing duo #LilaCain with the fabulous #MarciaHutchinson
Our epic historical adventure #TheBlackbirdsofStGiles is published by Simon & Schuster on Jan 30th next year!
It’s where Bridgerton meets Dickens… but Dickens wins!!!

Watched Godard’s Breathless in the cinema today. The film that set the standard for cool. A wild, sexy ride.
