    Today’s post is by author Cynthia Swanson. My debut psychological suspense novel, The Bookseller, sold to Harper in 2013 in a pre-empt. I’m not going to lie—it was an amazing deal. The type of deal that compelled me to ask my husband, when I called to break the news, “Are you sitting down?” Amazon • Bookshop By the time The Bookseller released in 2015, Harper had been throwing around the …

    Zindiya, Moseley
    It’s been a while since I sat in Zindiya. I seldom visit Moseley anymore. Peacer has changed hands, Carters soon to be replaced with a Japanese “fine dining” concept that I can guarantee will be anything but. I have a Sabai Sabai near my house, and whilst I still occasionally go Chakana, the Dark Horse, or those regrettable afters at Gordon’s, it is impossible to deny that Moseley is a …

    Actually, we can deploy energy infrastructure very quickly.

Most people in The West today have not experienced a major energy transition in their lifetimes. We think it's impossible to build new energy infrastructure quickly, because we haven’t recently.People are …

    Booknotes 3.18
    Nonfiction Sick Societies, by Robert B. Edgerton, published 1992. An anthropological critique of cultural relativism, detailing how some folk societies develop maladaptive behaviors that harm themselves or others. Fascinating book with lots of interesting (and often sad and disturbing) anecdotes. From the Psmiths’ review, which is where I heard about the book in the first place: “That’s the case the late UCLA anthropologist Robert Edgerton set out to make in …

    A Visit to The Twickenham Museum and St Mary’s Church
    From a busy Waterloo Station, take a short train to Twickenham and you’re in a riverside village, transported back in time.
