Recording the audiobook for #Lowborn has been fascinating, intense, a pleasure (largely down to my brilliant sound engineer/producer Matt), also really hard...a feat of stamina for the heart, head, ego & body...but I'm so grateful I decided to do it.

Snow! A pretty impressive fall! Amazing speakers! I'm so glad I came to @scottishpen #IWD symposium...

Moving day...🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸

.@kirstin.innes just made my year... '#Repost @kirstin.innes • • • • • • This book is something else. Kerry Hudson and I are the same age, almost to the month I think, grew up in (nominally) the same Scotland and now, as adults, we do the same job. Reading her memoir, I recognise that our childhoods shared the same backdrop of pop culture ephemera - Kylie! Dirty Dancing! Push a Push Pop! And there the similarities end. It was always going to be possible for middle class me to become a writer. I had every opportunity. What Kerry has done here, investigating the extreme poverty she grew up in, both its sociological causes and its personal effects, digging deep into the past that made her, evoking so much with beautiful, measured and never overblown language, is an act of huge bravery. Summoning the strength to write this vital, brilliant and important book must have taken a lot; if it doesn’t win every prize going I will kick up some shit. These are the stories that aren’t often told because the people they happen to aren’t often listened to. It’s out on the 16th of May. Buy it. I don’t usually like to issue orders on social media, but seriously, BUY IT. #kerryhudson #lowborn #readwomen #igscotland #scotland #nonfiction #childpoverty #ukpoverty (Reposting without the text excerpts as they’re from a proof!)'

Said our goodbyes to Liverpool with this festival of lanterns at our local park (& a bonus cuddle from @savidgereads & hubby). Liverpool has been so, so good to us ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Full 80s & not ashamed...
