hi robin just wondering why daisys father and george have the same name?

Upper class men in England seem to have about 3 possible names: George, Henry and Charles. There was bound to be a repeat somewhere!

AFT memes because I've just read and it's sooooo much worse than I remember

Christmas shopping

Didn't remember Miss Parker and Miss Bell, didn't pick up on Bertie and Harold, didn't realise Daisy was coming out in DITS, but fucking hell did 14(ish) year old me read about Amanda and her very briefly mentioned friend Harriet and think 'oh these 2 are LESBIANS'

George is the kind of person who reads two books at the same time but one of them is a gory thriller and the other is a cliche rom com.

The Holiday Harold/Bertie George/Alexander au where Harold is Iris, desperate to get away from his crush who doesn't care about him job, George is Graham with 2 daughters as a single dad, Bertie is Miles whose ex has just cheated on him and Alexander is Amanda who needs a break from everything <3

my prediction for tmua 3

where in england is stephen from i must know for the sake of prison related research 💔

I think Home Counties - but if you’re wondering for trial/prison reasons, my understanding is that you’d be tried near where the crime was committed - and probably imprisoned near there too.

Sorry guys but I know in my heart George talks through movies. "Oh that seems very improbable with the resources they have-" Harold plans his murder every family movie night

Hello, Robin! Love your books and I'm super looking forward to Ministry 3. I know it's set to come out in September next year (at least, as far as I'm aware), but I was just wondering if you know when the title and cover will be revealed. A vague date or an estimate is fine, of course. Thank you!

It is September! We’ve just settled on the 11th as a publication date. I think we have a title (TBC but we’ve landed on something we’re all pleased with). I suspect title will be announced in spring, possibly March, and cover in late spring - maybe May or June? I am totally making that up - but assume it will all happen in the first half of 2025!

jewish lavinia temple thoughts because i've thought about this extensively

her mother is german and from dresden, and her father is from minsk in belarus, which means she's never spoken english at home

her father's family left during the belarusian pogroms of the late 1890s, when he was quite young

her mother's family stayed in germany up until the start of WW2, but her mother left germany for england when she met her father

they moved to birmingham because there was a notable jewish community located right in the city centre

as a result she does have the insanely silly accent

she's never been a big fan of her features, not until it gets put into perspective that they're a part of her identity

falls asleep in chapel on purpose at school and quite loudly proclaims she's not a christian so it doesn't matter (but she falls asleep at temple, too)

begged her parents not to do a bat mitzvah because she was scared shitless of public speaking (and her hebrew is quite rusty)

was never big on going to the synagogue with her father and brothers because they're ashkenazi and so would've sat on her own in the women's section, but likes going with her mum

as she gets older she lapses away from her faith but maintains her ethnic identity and is largely proud of it

tries her absolute hardest to get all of her aunts, uncles and cousins over to the UK, and they live in aston with her mum when she manages it

big big fan of western christmas traditions and therefore does hannukah bushes and delights in her mum's ugly hannukah jumpers (but won't tell anyone)

has her family's candles all around the house; for all she doesn't like her father or his 'dreary' side of the family, she loves the candles and what they mean to her

mainly started cutting her hair short in the 30s because it was so curly and grew too long (and also she was dedicated to buying into the butch bit)

didn't wear her magen david in school, but after speaking to her mother, wears it just as a bit of a reminder of who she is
