Revering both cats and the work of Muriel Spark (there are many parallels…), and when I saw its cover, I couldn’t pass up on James Bailey’s new biography of the writer, Like a Cat Loves a Bird: The Nine Lives of Muriel Spark.

Great to visit the Portobello Bookshop today, too, maybe my favourite independent bookshop within easy reach of home.

I really wanted to include climate fiction at Writing the Occult: Connections to Land, & am so happy Lindz McLeod put her hand up to join us. She'll join our climate fiction panel to share how she creates her urgent, literary, speculative works. More Scottish representation!🧵⬇️
