I was thrilled to be on the team behind Dexter Procter: The 10-Year-Old Doctor, adapted by @amateuradam.bsky.social from his brilliant book. The cast is starry! The jokes are funny! The plot is ridiculous, heartwarming and slightly disgusting! It’s on BBC iPlayer NOW, and on telly over Xmas.

I’m a top 10 in the gay section! It’s been a while. Still time to pick up a 99p bargain if you fancy it. amzn.to/4885NwR
A screenshot from Amazon, which shows my book the glorious dead, at the number eight position, in the gay top 10. The summary reads the glorious dead: darkly humorous and riveting new novel from best selling author.

Happy 9th anniversary to the most insane email I’ve ever received
Screenshot of an email I received on the 23rd of November 2016, which says The Last Romeo OFFER Hi Justin I hope all's well with you. Having raised The Last Romeo at our acquisitions meeting this morning, I'm delighted to be sending over an offer for The Last Romeo and a second untitled novel. -

New reason to live unlocked: my local pizza place Mamma Dough is putting sprouts on a pizza for Christmas.
A screenshot of a newsletter sent to me by my local pizzeria, showing a picture of a pizza upon which is sprouts, pigs in blankets, turkey, and cranberry, along with the usual mozzarella and tomato base. Text reads: THE FESTIVE FEAST Is Back! Hey folks! It might be chilly out there, but our ovens are roaring and we're all set for a cosy weekend. Our Christmas Feast Pizza has officially landed, loaded with brussels sprouts, pigs in blankets, turkey and cranberry, served on our legendary sourdough!

It’s TEN years since Pizza Express did that Brussels sprout pizza for Christmas and I think about it all the time.

Can anyone with a sneaker fetish please identify these for me? (Have googled to no avail.) They were being worn by a very cool guy in his 70s and they’re great.

Underrated banger of a sitcom:
The cast of After Henry, including Joan Sanderson and Prunella Scales.

ICON. 💔
The amazing Prunella Scales, starring as Sybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. She is smoking a cigarette and holding a bonkbuster novel in her hand.

Very strange to be releasing a book during a dress rehearsal for the apocalypse but here we are. THE GLORIOUS DEAD out a week today. Pre-orders to an author are like crash helmets for cyclists, WD40 for uncles, and vodka martinis for Joan Collins – they save our lives! Please do if you can!

My new book The Glorious Dead is out two weeks today! It’s darkly funny, twisty, and is about a bunch of terrible people. My publisher calls it “Gay ‘Rebecca’ meets ‘The Talented Mr Ripley’ via ‘Notes on a Scandal’”. I love it and maybe you will too. Preorder if you can! geni.us/TheGloriousD...
