When people are occupied, resistance is justified.

Solidarity from the streets of Edinburgh.

The 90s dolphins proudly on display in my local vintage shop were not something I needed this Monday morning.

I think I might’ve lost my grip on reality but in other news, I found a neat rock.

Turns out I really enjoyed my first go at making silver rings. The excellent workshop leader who took the picture added the text, honest. I am partial to a bit of soldering though.

Deep in edits on new book. It has a movie theme, so I’m powering myself with popcorn. Super important scene setter, for sure.

Uhh has this been a Dip Dab this whole time? Not a Dib Dab? Is this another thing I need to add to the long list of names I’ve been saying wrong forever?

Important chairing prep, a working timepiece.

Think of my granddad every time I change a watch battery. It’s the little lessons and moments that stick with you always.

Quite a snazzy sky this morning

When in doubt, find a rock to admire.

Before I embark on the next stage of spring cleaning, just enjoying a last little blast of chaos. I work in a guddle, both physically and figuratively, but the mess suits me.

When people are occupied, resistance is justified. I can’t see what else is left, civil disobedience feels like the only logical card to play.

My creepy new novel will be clawing its way out of the woods and onto shelves, with a big thank you to Polygon and my awesome agent Sara Langham

Had such a good time shooting some otherworldly pictures with the talented Laura Meek.

Lovely to see @richardstrachan.bsky.social launch The Unrecovered last night at Golden Hare. A lyrical and chilling take out now from @bloomsburyraven.bsky.social

Sitting at my desk, doing the stuff that needs done, admiring my new (old) candle holder.

The dreaded moment for any interviewer. Luckily, I don’t trust anything and took extensive notes. The lovely interviewee had a third party app for logging into zoom which broke my recording and transcript 😭

Not only did I get my PLR statement today, but a friend happened to text me having spotted Weak Teeth in the lovely display cabinet at Leith Library alongside a bunch of great Scottish authors. Hurrah for libraries!

Great day of planning, reflecting and collaging on a wee team away day at the fab @fruitmarket.bsky.social (including a stealthy book signing on the way out)
