CW: My day job
Today I am mostly doing holiday photo shoots for the books that were shortlisted for this year's #WalterScottPrize for Historical Fiction. There's so little good light on December days, I need to do this quickly. This is the book that won, James Robertson's NEWS OF THE DEAD, but they will all get this treatment. I'm the social media manager for the prize.
