Love this church marquee sign in Lower Manhattan

This cameo and crossover reference from the wonderful Rye Lane is genius

The thrill of international editions: various cover reveals, giving insight into what diff markets see the essence of your novel as. Love the rom-com feel of the Brazilian edition- Lindiwe and Ian do have their comedic moments in their unpredictable love story, set in a turbulent Zimbabwe #books

Always fascinated by how symphonic bare tree branches against a sweep of blue sky can be

Stormy afternoon in New York #SpoutPhotography #landscapephotography

Ok, I want to be kind but, what the....?

There is a cost of living crisis in the UK and you are talking about.....emojis?????

Meanwhile, in Paris....

Ah, so not the world class royal pr getting the message at last but Macron seeing the writing on the wall...

ICONIC #UnPrisoned

I know he is your brother Harry, but... urghhh

At that book fair I had a lovely dinner with my Swedish publishers and sat next to Erica Jong whose 'Fear of Flying' I had just read! My Swedish cover of 'The Boy Next Door' left me somewhat perplexed. Can you see the matchstick, the fire? For some reason, back then, all I could see was a lion!!!

And what, pray tell, could be wrong with that?

Vive la République !

oh là là

Dave raps in 'Black' ...'You don't know the truth about your race 'cause they erasin' it' but In a block in Chelsea a piece of history remains ...'the official racially segregated education system which existed in New York City for most of the 19th century'

The audacity....'without it accepting the museum's legal ownership..'

I visited San Augustin and Tierradentro in Colombia in the 90s and the immensity and gravity of those statues in the forest, the temples and tombs was breathtaking, full of meaning, humbling- not stripped of their geographical, historical, cultural, spiritual context- in their rightful place.

My. first spout video- Just a regular Sunday at a French flea market!

Since I am on a wildlife reporting spree let me entertain you with this highly embarrassing blooper from my 'Peace and Conflct'- how it got through various edits and myself is a mystery- hoping for a second edition for corrections!

Urgh...now let's talk about how the early colonizers decimated wildlife through big game hunting...get really annoyed by this propaganda that Africans do not appreciate and know how to take care of their resources when these resources have been vandalized by so called conservationists...

One of the most exciting things as an author is when you get delivery from your publisher of your book (Feb, 2020), and published in March at the onset of the pandemic- I could not travel to London to promote 'An Act of Defiance'- but this moment remains very special to me #WritingCommunity

I thought it was 'a gift'? I guess it's a question of 'step by step'- we'll get to the reparation's stage....eventually.

Charles, Camilla- do the right thing, hand back those jewels!

Still Here. Still Nasty. Still Persisting.

The best hotdog ever: wild boar sausage from The Winter Village, Bryant Park. Delicious! #SpoutibleCooks

I have discovered many wonderful things in America. My current favourite: the Pro200 High Output Hot Melt Glue Gun- never knew these existed until I came here, and started on my pandemic tent #ArtSpout

Shame on Charles #WeLoveYouHarryAndMeghan

If this is true (keeping in mind that the royals brief through the tabloids) I have no words. If this is true this tells me that there was no apology from Charles and William, and that consequently Harry and Meghan said no to coming to the coronation.

I am making a tent...and, yes, those are Fresh Direct bags...all from the height of the pandemic when holed up in New York...working title-'an ode to the pandemic'. Fresh Direct was, after all, promising '100% happiness' in that bleak period. #SpoutArt

Sometimes, you don't always get what you want, Charles. Mugabe wanted Cliff Richard, and he got Bob Marley instead.
