Can you believe it is almost 30 years since the IRA bomb in Manchester?
What were you doing?
Even These Things is a triptych tale of Manchester through the ages.
On at the RX for a few more weeks.

This Sunday 3pm-5pm I'll be on @ALLFM books, writing, arts, culture and more - listen in!
🙈 Just when you thought #idontsweat was something #alongcameharry 😕#spare
(Left UK in 2020? Wanted peace. Hate British Press. Signed Media deals to tune of 150m sued press = more press?!). 🤔
#Spare is worth a small book deal of £2,000 for 10,000 writers this year.
Some writers don’t even get that. And! A lot of this was already in the press. Baffling!
#HarryTheInterview #spare
Even Tom looks ever so awkward at the pettiness and awkwardness of this. #spare #HarryTheInterview
Dear god USD150m in total on did she didn’t she cry, did she didn’t want a child to wear tights. 🙈 Years on! Years on! This is not a 100m$ book deal interview. #investinwriters #HarryTheInterview
And the earlier version of The Heatwave is published by Comma Press as By the River, here 🔥

Amazing - thanks for the mention 😃
The excellent @commapress anthology Phobic has a very unsettling heatwave story, By The River, by @Maria_Roberts which I suggest you read when you can't sleep tonight.
Cracking new spoken word night with the most eclectic lineup you’ll get this side of literature - reminds me of the good old Speakeasy days in Manchester circa early Millennium @pullupbarcafe #Manchester #poetry #beats #CaribbeanEats #CarribeanFood

I’ve lived with HIV for 30 years and I’m healthy and happy. Can I ask you to make one small step today to end stigma and shame? Maybe start a conversation in your home, school, workplace? The old slogan ‘silence is death’ still holds true. Share if you can. Many thanks.
A lovely evening reading my short story Tanshui River, set in Taiwan, about a mother and her son who become estranged, when he leaves Manchester to live a different life in San Francisco #LGBTQ+ #writing #shortstory #literature

This is how the #patriarchy of #media works: MAN gets in power, takes advantage of the system #metoo. Women suffered (failure of duty of care by many parties); broadcasters/theatres #CancelCulture MORE WOMEN DISADVANTAGED, get a grip! @itvstudios #Equality DEAL with THE MEN ONLY
ONE MAN DOES NOT A TV SERIES MAKE @itvstudios POOR decision - you have one successful male that is being investigated for being sexually inappropriate/ abusive - but there is a tremendous amount of diverse NORTHERN (FEMALE) TALENT that suffer from your decision. #noelclarke
Final push. If you can spare £5, I need just £300 more to close my fundraiser at 3k (inc GA) for @maggiesmanc
It’s a great cause supporting families and people with a cancer diagnosis. £5 from a few will help! x I walked my thighs RAW. #Cancer
