Next Wednesday, 1st April (this is not an April Fools!) I’ll be having a launch party for Fine Specimens at @Waterstones in beautiful Brussels.
The event kicks off at 19:30 and I’ll be in conversation with my good friend Paddy Donnelly. Come and join us! It’s totally free, but please do RSVP by emailing the lovely Waterstones folks at [email protected]

The first issue of the book tour pop-up newsletter is going out tomorrow!
It covers Tuesday’s launch event in Bristol and some motivations behind the tour in general. Sign up here if you fancy following along:
