@kevinh-phd.bsky.social and I finally get to share with you the book we've worked so long and hard on
I wrote a little substack about the question that powered every chapter of Food Intelligence

56/2025 was Shy Girl by Mia Ballard, thanks to @wildfirebooks.bsky.social! This was truly dark and harrowing and I LOVED IT. Not one for the faint of heart. The dog food scenes in particular made me feel weak.

New interview! @lesleymcdowell.bsky.social (pub'd @wildfirebooks.bsky.social) talks about finding her niche, how research throws up lots of truths, and of course her bookmark preferences - "I like women who aren’t easy to categorise, and often aren’t even easy to like"

Interview: Lesley McDowell
The Five By Five Interview with Lesley McDowell I bought Lesley McDowell's Clairmont for my mother at Christmas, who declared it excellent "but what a weird life", which was all the encouragement I needed to read it for myself. My verdict is the same... Love And Other Poisons came across my desk recently, around the same time as the invitation to chair a panel featuring Lesley at Bute Noir: serendipity, surely.
