This is great news!!!! I can’t wait to buy a copy. Such excitement, congratulations Jo. All my GM emails are being directed away from my primary box, so I’m glad I spotted the tip off on Instagram. I think gmail is editing my life to make it as boring as possible.

The book looks amazing, Jo, and it was lovely to see you talking about it. My one teeny tiny fear is that Substack will go the way of IG and try to make us all watch the wretched reels. I like them occasionally but I love the long, slow reads of the current posts.

Hi Moira - never fear as far as TGM is concerned: the long reads are how it’s going to stay. It’s the reason I came to Substack and the whole ethos of the newsletter 🌱🌱🌱

This is wonderful and I am so excited for your accomplishment, and for me to get to read it! Will there be a book tour?!? You should come to Chanticleer (ideally not during our coldest and wetted March in recent memory) this time. You would love it, if you have not already been. Then you can sign my copy and I can add it to my growing collection of Thompson autographed volumes :)

Congratulations!

I haven’t been! There are plans for a spring visit to the US… I would adore to come to Chanticleer -

Perhaps we could organize a TGM meet up there. They allow picnics on the grounds and so I could facilitate some nice wine and cheese to refresh the group after wandering about.

So sorry to have missed this. I don't have email notifications switched on, but apart from that tonight was the restart of my 3 hour French class on Zoom which is unmissable for me! Live video on Substack sounds great, particularly as Instagram is less and less enticing these days. The book sounds absolutely wonderful - going straight to the top of my wish-list.
