Just been on an AMAZING webinar hosted by the UK's #SocietyofAuthors – ex-DI Steven Keogh, discussing How Murders are Really Investigated.

So much info!! Fiction and TV get many things wrong.

Incredibly interesting to find out about Decision Logs, analysis panels, who does what, hypothesis trees, the importance of the FLO (family liaison officer)...

UK #Writers, #mysterywriters #mystery #procedural #crime #authors - watch if you can!

And he's thinking of courses!

Totally forget that I'm a member of #SocietyOfAuthors

Ah, I see that I should have written an #introduction. I'm amuch published children's writer who has also written for adults. Member of #SocietyofAuthors (of course!) and #NUJ. I'm a refugee from Twitter and not sorry to leave its recent toxicity behind. I'd like contacts in #writing, #childrensbooks, #publishing, #libraries, #politics, #literature.

Since it looks like I need to get comfy here, I would like to say thank you and congratulations to the members of both #NationalTrust and #SocietyofAuthors for handily seeing off the transphobes and history deniers. And to the media. Are you going to highlight those wins as frequently as you promoted the attacks?

I find the #SocietyofAuthors outcome unexpectedly cheering, because (a) the Clanchy affair was a horrible example of the RW British press putting a huge coordinated effort into undermining anti-racist action, & demonising people of colour for making legit complaints, and (b) the anti-trans stuff, also enthusiastically promulgated by the said RW press. The British people, by and large, are neither as racist or as transphobic as the impression you get online.

Ooh my fancy #SocietyofAuthors membership pack has arrived. Need to get over my impostor syndrome though! Look forward to joining the AGM next week. I will be voting against *those* two motions
