The two postcards feature in my next book and a new talk - Travels with my (great-great) aunt. One of the locations featured in The English Patient and one of the characters in The Dictionary of Lost Words help tie it all together in a tenuously satisfying way. https://t.co/mr5H4H0pY1

Background research reading for my new book might not be everyone's cup of tea, but Carl Chinn is immensely readable. He often pops up in documentaries, most recently about the real 'Peaky Blinders'. https://t.co/2LvRBEZ0U2

Spent this afternoon in the company of @SturminsterF's event in Marnhull. Minette Walters spoke about her latest book – The Swift and the Harrier. Set in Dorset, it retells the story of the Civil War. You can't beat a slice of local history. Nor a slice of apple pie for pudding. https://t.co/yd71YB790F
