Yes @gabyhinsliff thank you. So great to read this on the role of cash. But don’t just hold it - use it. We need it to circulate. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

“There’s no point in writing anything if it doesn’t disturb you in some way. A novel must be about what everyone is thinking, but nobody dares say.”

1 in 14 kids don’t own a book. The cost-of-living crisis impacts a family’s ability to support reading at home, particularly those on lower incomes. @LeeChildReacher is right, much has changed in 60yrs but what remains true - we need our libraries. theguardian.com/books/articl…

To my astonishment, our book The Invisible Doctrine has gone straight to number 1 on the Sunday Times bestseller list. That's before any reviews, and after only one interview in mainstream media (on BBC World Service). Thank you so much to all our readers for your support.

Worried about being a ‘mature’ writer trying to get published?
Don’t be…#amwriting
1/ I wasn’t published until my fifties. And my breakout book I Am Watching You (1.3 million sales) came at age 58.
I’m now a proud author in my sixties who’s realised something important…

Quentin Cadbury gets a rude awakening when he suffers a break in and receives threats. Does his new neighbour, Wanda, really want to help him find what’s hidden in his house or does she have her own agenda?

Today The Climate Book is finally released in many parts of the world!
I want to use my platform to share the reality of the climate crisis – to communicate a holistic picture of how the world is changing and what we need to do about it. That is why I created this book.

Reese Witherspoon has long been one of my favourite leaders. This new podcast, between her and the brilliant @AdamMGrant, is billed as “imposter syndrome”. But it’s also a must listen for any storyteller.

How can we hope to fix our economy when we don’t talk about the real role of #money #finance #tax? Today’s #MiniBudget strengthens the need for a fully #CircularEconomy. We need something more imaginative than fiddling with an outdated model of taxation. routledge.com/The-Wonderful-…
