All the best with the meeting, you will knock them dead in that dress.
Just need to dye your hair black for the full effect for the book tour 😂😂

Great that it went well and was wonderful to be back. It’s a fantastic place. Visited it a couple of years ago to attend a talk. Shame I couldn’t make it this time.

Oh my, I’m so sorry this is happening. I can’t understand why people are doing this and using AI. Can’t they see how bad it is? We need humans and humans like you to continue to research and write excellent books - not robots!!

I’d have chosen the one on the right. Prefer chocolate. Hope which ever you chose you enjoyed 😋.

A fantastic read 😊

Stay safe, Carolyn! Really hope it’s not to bad for you, glad to know you are prepared. All the best.

Wow! Hope you get to sleep ok!

That’s a great photo. I say this in a nice way as the colour of it looks more like old school film.

That’s a good one. Perhaps they could get the lighthouse to say that via morse code via the lamp 😂.

If you can attend one of these talks it’s well worth it as I went last year to the National Archives to see Hallie and it was excellent, as is the book.

Happy 9th coming into Alex’s life , Bertie! Hope you had a good and spoilt rotten day.

Thank you and happy new year 2026 to you too 🥂

Happy new year, Cat! Wishing you a great 2026. Love the subtle earrings, at least if the fireworks didn’t work you could flash your earrings instead 😂.

Happy birthday, Tracy! have a great day and happy new year to you too.

Thank you and I wish you all the best for 2026. Here’s hoping the highs massively outweigh the lows.

OMG this is so bad and sad. We can’t even tell real stuff from AI anymore 😳. I feel so sorry for the world and the future. Believe nothing is real!!!!

Many thanks for all the content you have put out. So sad it’s been a heavy year for you.
Have a great rest and recharge over the next few days and here’s to reading more horrifying stuff in 2026.
Merry Christmas 🎄

I’ve seen you post this a few times and I’m still not sure I would eat it 😂. Looks to good to eat 😉🤣.

Many thanks 😊.

It does seem quiet even though lots of people I follow have left X to come here! Seems there is lots of choices ( TikTok etc. )so it’s probably never going to get as busy as X.

Thank you Jo and have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year too. Hoping 2026 will be a good one for you. Cheers, Ian x 🥂 🎄

Oh dear. Had you and did you find it? If so I hope it’s survived.

Grrr, not good at all - so sorry this happening. It’s truly not fair.

In a way this is good as AI will hopefully know the ‘truth’ but is this AI stealing your work? I still don’t like AI and prefer to buy a book if it’s a subject I’m really interested in - like yours. Really hope most people think like this.

Haha, the days to get confusing during the festive period. At least you now have one more day to prepare than you thought 😊.

I always thought the shortest day was the 21st of December.

Love it, very good 😂.
If only that were the normal size of wine bottles for the same price! 😊.

Absolutely fantastic news, Lindsey. So pleased for your all clear diagnosis.
That’s so funny having Dr Watson attend to you. Wonder if she will buy your book now you’ve told her all about it 😊.

Many congratulations and here, here to HI.

That was an excellent if at times eye watering video. Did you mean res-‘erecting’ your video channel 😂. If so I say, yes please.
