French socialite and art dealer Eve-Marie Lambert possesses the kind of magnetic personality that can easily seduce both men and women. Rather a useful attribute for a two hundred year-old vampire… #vampires #thriller 🇬🇧 tinyurl.com/gr9ugm3 🇺🇸 tinyurl.com/zf2ygqd

In 2016 I recall being bombarded with messaging telling me NOT to vote "Leave". The government, Obama, Governor of the Bank of England, unfathomable numbers of EU politicians, the BBC etc, etc. But I simply DO NOT remember being contacted by anyone called Dmitri or Olga telling me what to do. This story is now being dragged up by Burnham in order to get people to look away from the REAL issues. Deflection politics is the name of the game for @UKLabour

Chartwell, former home of Sir Winston Churchill, is a fascinating place to visit. But whatever you do, obey the warning signs and stay well clear of the Black Geese!

The Pitch. At the glitzy CappaCale, Londyn dances for tourists, but when she volunteers for the club's black-market B2B implant to get some extra credits for her brother's medication, she starts seeing a horrific death that doesn't belong to her. Londyn's waking world is unraveling. Her boss/boyfriend is becoming more obsessive, her brother can't take anything seriously, and she might just be falling for the implant's inventor, Julian Butcher. As the mod pulls her toward her breaking point and social unrest seethes in Miami, Londyn must decide whether to surrender her mind to the system that has consumed everyone she has ever cared about, or tear herself free by inviting a violent, uncontrollable force into the mind she barely owns herself.

Planet Delphi is remote, sited far beyond the recognised boundary of human colonisation. So if like Patrick Hewitt you get into trouble there, the Cavalry won't be riding to your aid any time soon. #scifi #thriller 🇬🇧 rb.gy/0bn16m 🇺🇸 tinyurl.com/pko33hd
