@dunnettcentral For those waiting to buy the ebook version of Operation Nassau by Dorothy Dunnett (aka Dolly and the Doctor Bird), which was due to be released on July 6, Farrago Books have told me they expect to send the ebook live next week: that is, on the Farrago site and Kobo, Apple, Amazon etc.

The new print edition from Farrago is already out. I got my copy sent from Toppings in Edinburgh.

I am looking after the #DorothyDunnett Society instagram account this month, and have found myself posting on #KingHereafter. So if anyone random information about #Macbeth, #Orkney, #Vikings, and Eleventh Century Europe etc, here you go: https://www.instagram.com/dunnettcentral/

Having a fantastic time at the first day of the #DorothyDunnett Centenary conference!

@publicdomainrev @nicolewolverton @dunnettcentral for all lovers of Tobie in Dorothy Dunnett’s House of Niccolò series.

Twitter's not good for much these days, but today it did lead me to my most recent book purchase, which I'm wildly excited about. #bookstodon #DorothyDunnett #TheGameOfKings

@dunnettcentral
Just received my March issue of Whispering Gallery. Exciting issue with the reissue of all the Johnson Johnson series by Farrago this year. #Dunnett, #DorothyDunnett, #reading

@spiderbill Congratulations Bill. A fine article about #DorothyDunnett.

I was recently asked to write a piece on #DorothyDunnett for Women's History Scotland in the run up to her centenary year. It's now up and you can read it at

My thanks to the tireless Julia Hart for makng the introduction.

I downloaded an #Audiobook I didn't intend to earlier this week and that's my excuse this go-around for re-reading all of #DorothyDunnett. I mean, once you hear Samuel Gillies say "Lymond is back" what else can you do? #Booktotodon

'We have reached the open sea, with some charts, and the firmament.' My first Mastodon post has to reference the fabulous, irreplaceable #dorothydunnett . No matter how often I read her, there's always something new to discover.

Spoilers for the #LymondChronicles by #dorothydunnett

@spiderbill Fascinating. I voted for Salablanca - that one hurt in its own quiet way almost as much as Chancellor.

Finally, tonight, made my charm bracelet for the House of Niccolo series (by Dorothy Dunnett)

Poll 2
Which death of a character - either fictional or real - had the most effect on you.

Khaireddin 20 still on top, but this time
Will Scott 17 and
Chancellor 15 came into play ahead of
Christian 12
Marthe only got 1 - the same as Luadhas; oh dear!

Poll 3
Who are your favourite supporting characters of the Lymond Chronicles?

Kate and Archie way ahead with 14 each, followed by
Sybilla 8 and
Jerott 6.

Yay Kate! ;-)

#DorothyDunnett
At the beginning of November I put up some experimental polls on my Dunnett Blog at http://www.dorothydunnett.co.uk/blog/ and I've just been reviewing the results.

Poll 1 - Which death of a fictional character had the most effect on you?
Khaireddin 32 just edged ahead of
Christian 28.
Salablanca 11 was a bit of a surprise in third.
Oonagh 10
Guzel only got 1 - 2 behind Slata Baba!

@Freyalyn Not a member of the society, but I love #DorothyDunnett!

Are there any other admirers of #DorothyDunnett on here? Any members of the society? And, perhaps, anyone also going to the Centenary celebrations in April?
