On my way to the Lincoln Book Festival. Carriage full of football fans, one just spilled his beer, almost went all over me - and it's not even 9am yet.

Pray for me! 🙏🏾

You know that feeling when you go back to your childhood library to read a chapter of your debut novel which is set in the very same place... Utterly surreal

And The Mercy Step book tour is finally on.

Hopefully you'll find a stop near you - if not tell me where your local bookshop is and I'll get in touch.

Can't wait to see old friends, or meet new ones for the first time.

Reminded me of a piece I wrote for the Guardian almost thirty years ago about growing up with a serial killer on the loose. It never really leaves you.
