Collective noun for chihuahuas, anyone?
Last night in a lovely restaurant in @VilleStRaphael called #leBishop this charming #Chihuahua (name of Penelope, likes carrots) came to sit beside me, unprompted, for over an hour. Non mais. Have they ALL read #NiceDog? #BBCNSSA @ed_pr @BBCFrontRow @BBCRadio4 @commapress 🤣 🇲🇫
A hand drawn notice draws 75% more attention than a printed notice 😊👏👏👏
Always a good one to try for.

“Manderley Press books are long-neglected gems that have been given a brilliant polish by a publisher who has as keen an eye and as deep a desire for perfection as the finest jeweler.”
- Thank you dear reader, customer, reviewer - publisher swoons.

Had a blast in #London, went to @WallaceMuseum and @britishmuseum and, of course, the fab #BBCNSSA, live on @FrontRow @BBCRadio4 - read more about that below 👇. Not often you get to meet a #DrWho #dalek! @commapress @ed_pr @KashiHouse #BookTwitter #books blog.majortomswar.com/2024/1…

This is some book!
Yesterday's #BBCNSSA event was fun, but the highlight for me was something else (sorry, @BBCRadio4)! My publishers Parmjit and Bikram presented me with this extraordinary limited edition, the work of the great historian, Professor Emeritus Eleanor Nesbitt @uniofwarwick.

This is exactly what I hoped for when I wrote #MajorTomsWar the way I did - and I am thrilled beyond measure at such eminent and durable vindication. Thank you so much Eleanor, @KashiHouse and @UKPHA. #BookTwitter #books #HistoricalFiction #History #Sikh kashihouse.com/sikh

I spoke with Eleanor during her seven epic years of research and am astonished and bowled over to find my archive-based novel #MajorTomsWar (available in paperback and ebook from kashihouse.com) cited as a reference text throughout.

Keeping everything crossed...
All Souls, Langham Place (John Nash) floodlit against #BroadcastingHouse 📚 Tonight's the night of the #BBCNSSA #shortstory awards, a live broadcast on @BBCFrontRow 📚 Keep five nervous authors company and tune in at 19.15 UK time 📚 @BBCRadio4 @Cambridge_Uni @ed_pr #BookTwitter
Have chihuahuas actually grown over four centuries?
Indubitably an ancestor of Dubi's... looking deeply appreciative of those smart velvet sleeves too! What is the sitter holding, apart from the #NiceDog? Can't quite make it out... #BBCNSSA @BBCRadio4 @Cambridge_Uni @ed_pr

Wow. So that's all five shortlisted #BBCNSSA #shortstories broadcast, an astonishing variety of themes and voices. Here's a link to the last, #GhostKitchen by @RossRaisin. I can't order food by courier here in the wilds but if you can, and do, listen! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002309…

Meanwhile, the author of this equally delicious fictionalised work, @IgnatiusSancho, aka the great actor Paterson Joseph, is about to read #DubitheChihuahua into life in an abridged version of #NiceDog, on @BBCRadio4 at 15.30. Can't wait! 📚 @ed_pr #shortstories @litandcw_ice
