Fantastic time at the #BlackbirdsofStGiles event today in Manchester. Also the day I met @emmavardy2.bsky.social and tried tofu for the first time! A memorable day all round 🩷

A joyful evening last night to launch @kateagriffin.bsky.social and Marcia Hutchinson’s (Lila Cain’s) brilliant #blackbirdsofstgiles a Dickensian journey though a fascinating slice of London’s black history. Out now!

What a launch! 😱 Huge congratulations to Kate Griffin and Marcia Hutchinson aka Lila Cain on the launch of #BlackbirdsOfStGiles 🐦‍⬛ So moving to celebrate with you at Hatchards Piccadilly and hear a beautiful reading by the awesome Paterson Joseph 🥳 Get your pre-orders in asap (it’s out Thursday)

Just started this fabulous #historical #saga which has already swept me from a plantation to the mean streets of #london in 1782. #amreading #blackbirdsofstgiles #lilacain @kategriffin @marxia1 @simonandschuster 🖤🐦‍⬛🖤
