Wonder when Skynet will stop sending terminators back to kill Sarah or John Connor and try sending terminators back to stop Skynet sending terminators back to kill Sarah or John Connor and see how that goes.
This was so much fun to record. Hope you enjoy it!
Nice to see the new Scotrail timetable for the Borders railway has pre-marked all the cancelled services.

We'll have cupcakes, fizz and a fund-raising raffle for the Galashiels Foodbank so please come along!
I feel seen.
Ah that’s brilliant to hear! Such a hard book to write, even harder to research…

No spoilers but: adopt a dog wherever possible... preferably one with a pointy heid. #Audiobook
What a headline.
Crazy how much Sainsbury’s spends on advertising for Aldi…
The great thing about the weird numbering system of the Die Hard films is you can pretend the shockingly bad second film doesn’t exist and you can just skip from the amazing first to the amazing third. Same rules apply with Indiana Jones films.
Just don’t buy an original copy of it. It’ll cost a fortune…
Great name for it… underrated single…
First draft of Marshall 7 done… still a ton of work to do on it, but it’s in a good place. Just a bit to do then I’m breaking for Xmas.
Two years on the trot! Thank you to Gordy at @wedale-bookshop.bsky.social for the support and to all the readers who buy my novels in print! Plenty of signed stock in the shop… for now…
Second time in a week the Borders railway was cancelled. Total joke
Crazy mist on the hills above the Tweed earlier…
Lovely lunchtime walk.
Happy publication day to @mwcraven.bsky.social - chilling and macabre, the newest Washington Poe thriller, THE MERCY CHAIR, is out today in paperback!

There ain’t no party like a NEWCASTLE NOIR PROOF PARTY!
Heading to Newcastle Noir on Friday? Grab a (free!) ticket to the proof party of the year. Goodie bags and copies of The Midnight King for all who attend!

Ho ho ho! Apparently my very dark, 'batshit' Christmas thriller, #DyingForChristmas is just 99p on kindle for the whole of December. Rude not to really. www.amazon.co.uk/Dying-Christ...
A copy of "Views of Stow", a purple cover with gold lettering and featuring the name "Sanderson & Sons, Booksellers and Stationers".
Frontispiece of "Views of Stow', decorated with a variety of fonts and borders.
A view of Stow. The Galashiels Road (A7) through the centre of the village. Saint Andrew's Church in the foreground (demolished in the '50s) and Saint Mary of Wedale's Church in the background.
Part of Stow and Killochyett, with the Gala Water river in the foreground and Stow Mill to right of centre.
Visitors are often pleasantry surprised to find a bookseller in Stow but we’re not the first to be established here.
Sanderson & Son was in Stow around a century ago and was one of many businesses now lost to history. We’re glad to be linked to the past through books!

I couldn't find a Starter Pack for historical crime writers so I started one. If you'd like to be added, let me know! Please share so we can build up a great list. #historicalcrime #crimewriters go.bsky.app/2oZd48F
Different walk this morning as car got MOT…
Not the same location, but 24 hours apart. Crazy.
I’m nine years older than my actual age. I’m sure 90% of those bands have been generated by ChatGPT. Only explanation.
Missing Iceland Noir this weekend but these photos remind me I need to head back to my favourite country…

Haha, they’re both pleased.
Velociraptors have NOTHING on them
