As writers we owe such a massive debt to book shops and booksellers. Very grateful. Support your local ones! #BooksAreMyBag

Independent Bookshop Week starts today, celebrating booksellers all around the UK and Ireland!
More than ever, indie bookshops are also vital community hubs and author advocates.
Find your local store at https://booksaremybag.com and buy a book (or three 😂)
