A wee thread about a young boy and the tweet that got away. Feel free to RT. Three weeks ago my youngest, Gabriel 12, came home upset. His love of woodwork was not deemed cool, nor was only having 6 followers on his instagram. 1/15

Wonderful achievement! And if the others are as good as Musa's beautiful collection, it would be stiff competition!

The worst way to try and refute a book entitled Gangster State is to behave like gangsters by destroying copies of the book because you hate the content- content you've probably not even read. Talk about performing the very insight the book delivers. Thugs have a sense of irony.

RIP Stephen Johnson: there are books I would not have written had it not been for Stephen. Books I would not have edited. We might have initially disagreed about my first crime novel, Payback, but after that he was a staunch supporter. He was a writer's publisher.

Can’t agree more. Deon’s absolute best - no pressure :) Prooi is flying through the family, from here to the US. Well done, @MeyerDeon!
