If we get a movie or TV adaptation of #thewolfmile by @barrington_cf @BrockLesnar would be ideal as Bjarke 💯

Was in St Andrews last Saturday, with no book to read going home. So I finally picked up this in @ToppingsStAs from @barrington_cf Delighted to discover I was a student when the book’s set, just starting my third year, living in Sallies’ annex. AND my grandad had a green Uno!

Thank you two wonderful authors for those two wonderful endorsements, though now I’m wondering can a story be ‘seductive and shadowy’ and also a ‘visceral roar’? 😂😀 @MatthewHarffy @JSThrillers

Meanwhile, on Amazon I seem to be in a mean and dirty fight with Stephen Fry at the top of the Folklore and Mythology category 😀. Outnumbered and surrounded, I may need more reviews! 😜 @HoZ_Books @UA_Books @AriesFiction #fiction #bookish #readers #reading #thrillerbooks

✨✨ NEW BOOK-TOUR ✨✨ When We Were Killers is dark academia at its finest—an intoxicating blend of history, folklore, and obsession set in the eerie corridors of St Andrews. A gripping tale of power, mystery, and the blurred line between myth and reality. Full review⬇️
