Autumn leg of the Ordinary Saints roadshow! Would love to see you there - all tickets at the link in my bio.

Dodgy pics, but loved finding this excellent programme of anti-fascist films advertised at Eden Court, Inverness over the weekend. Great to see a civic arts institution unequivocally stepping up to play its part in the fight.

Here you go!

Could not be more honoured and delighted that Ordinary Saints has been shortlisted for the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize! Thanks to @waterstones.bsky.social and to all the booksellers who voted for it. Huge congrats to the other authors!

I've finally started a Substack, with some thoughts about ambivalence and Pope Francis. furyoryearning.substack.com/p/i-didnt-ki...

Ordinary Saints is an absolute steal this weekend! Pre-order from @waterstones.bsky.social and you'll get 25% off - today, tomorrow and Monday only. A bargain for the gorgeous (if I say so myself) hardback edition, and a well-deserved treat for future you.

Some old and new friends launching books today. Have already read This Immaculate Body and it's spectacular. Very excited for the other two.

Some cracking novels by great people officially out in the world today!

Three months until my debut, Ordinary Saints, is out in the world! Marking the day with a little mood board - just some of the art that influenced the novel, which you can pre-order now! geni.us/OrdinarySaints

Literally obsessed with every one of my #OrdinarySaints advance readers. They're perfect and the best group of people in the world and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

Conclave; or, A Taxonomy of Catholic Bangers

Finally saw the film on Saturday. Review over on Insta: www.instagram.com/p/DDEWwG-Mno...

In 2020, I read a news story about this boy - Carlo Acutis - being beatified. It fascinated me so much that I wrote a novel about the strange and disturbing world of conteporary saintmaking. Yesterday, the Vatican announced that Carlo will be beatified THE SAME week my book comes out. Like, what??

I've written a book! Ordinary Saints, coming 24 April 2025 and available for pre-order now! geni.us/OrdinarySaints
