Please pre-order. "Exit, pursued by a polar bear" - I've even written the headline for your review. Hope you like the book, which comes out nexr month.
We had a ball signing copies in over a dozen London bookshops. So many happy booksellers! I expect they won't last much beyond this weekend, so what better reason to pop into a @waterstones.bsky.social @dauntbooks.bsky.social or @foylesforbooks.bsky.social this weekend? Happy reading history lovers!

Great for birthdays, Christmas etc for the Fall of Civs fan in your life...
I'll be doing events at Blackwell's around the country over this month, in Edinburgh today and Oxford on 22nd April.
Come join me! web.duckworthbooks.co.uk/fall-of-civi...
I’ve been sitting on this secret for weeks! (I’m a terrible secret keeper). So proud to see Paul’s book is a Blackwells Book of the Month! And saw a nice mention in the @waterstones.bsky.social newsletter. Lots of exciting things happening during publication week! @duckworthbooks.bsky.social
The first official event for Fall of Civilizations paperback! Signed copies will also be available from Toppings Edinburgh from 2 April. @toppingsbath.bsky.social
Where are you ordering from? If from outside of the UK then there’s the standard edition sold by Blackwells and they do free international shipping!
Go and order up one of these bad boys from my local bookshop at West End Lane bookshop. This is the limited edition independent bookshop exclusive with sprayed edges. Once they’re gone, they’re gone! So grab yours this weekend.
If you want to pre-order one of these limited edition paperbacks, the best place is from West End Lane Books, a lovely independent shop in London. Help support an indie today!
(International delivery for a small fee)

I've just been to Clays book printers to sign a thousand of these special edition paperbacks of my book Fall of Civilizations. These are very limited edition!
In Lyon for the weekend and preparing for a little aperitif.
Magazine spread - I'm Not a Hippy But... From ecstatic dance to astrology, I've tried it all, says Abi Millar, who is looking for meaning in an uncertain world.
Lovely piece by Abi Millar in this month's @womanandhome.bsky.social - tied in to publication of *The Spirituality Gap* @clarerbullock.bsky.social @mattcasbourne.bsky.social @angelampr.bsky.social
Film still from Frankenstein (2025) showing Oscar Isaac in 19th century clothing, standing in a spotlight, holding a glass beaker, in an old operating theatre

If you don't know what a puddle enema is, it's what happens when you speed through a deep puddle on your bike and your tires shoot gross water up your man business. Bracing. 💦🚲
Duckworth Books joined the Indie Alliance at a good time! I love working with them.
My thoughts on The Possibility of Life by Jamie Green and published by Duckworth. Thanks to @mattcasbourne.bsky.social for sending me a copy

Ahoy!
Doing my part to stock the communal library in the Kilburn tube station 📚
I enjoy this strategy. Like those cereal commercials where you'd need to eat 20 bowls of Special K to get the same amount of potassium in a bowl of some other cereal. Leave me to my 20 bowls, I want the carbs!
Time to put together my London Book Fair schedule. Any booksellers attending who want to meet up while they're in London? Hit me up!
Librarians are saints, offering access to literature and culture to community and social services. I would consider a career in libraries but the pay is so awful I don’t know how anyone can live off the salary. Support your local libraries! And while you’re there, slip your librarian a fiver.
He’s a master at creating eerie atmosphere and while his endings are never quite definite that fits with his books’ vibe.
A little dessert with a wee coffee.
👀 legs!
We had a lovely time at the shortlisting party last night hosted by @stanfordstravel.bsky.social. Super happy for Aube whose book River East, River West is in very good company 🥳
