‘Meghji has the true travel writer’s eye for the comic, pathetic and tragic… This is writing full of rust, wind and sadness. It captures splendidly the air of South America.’

In his third book on the subject, Dr Seth Alexander Thévoz's new book 'London Clubland' is keen to get across that London clubland is not dying. Far from it: new clubs are opening with encouraging regularity.

🐺📚A tale of murder, blackmail, s*x and book collecting in the Ozarks has been snapped up by Post Hill Press in the USA.

A Grimm-like fairy tale… turned nightmare.

Atop the Ozark Mountains, Rolland Comstock lived in what was described as “a Grimm Fairy tale.” With his pet wolves roving the estate and a world-famous book collection to obsess over, Rolland was no ordinary country lawyer. When he was murdered, Rolland’s story turned into a tragic mystery; one some did not want to see solved.

Author James Owen is a lawyer who worked with Rolland Comstock as well as at the firm that tried the case against his ex-wife.

📅 The book will be published in January 2026 and available for pre-order now on Amazon or Barnes&Noble.

Exciting news!

A new literary novella by Scottish writer and academic Christiana Spens has been bought by Salt Publishing.

This is a satirical exploration of the wellness industry, the human desire for escapism, and the ways in which we are all contagious, in the end.

Agency author of CRYPTO CONFIDENTIAL Jake Donoghue writes for The Spectator on Trump's meme coin $TRUMP.

'Leaders and lawmakers should be very circumspect about letting the wolves into the henhouse: having the biggest players in a historically crime-addled industry write their own rulebooks is akin to letting the lunatics govern the asylum.'

J.D. Vance gave the keynote speech at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference – but failed to impress the thousands-strong crypto crowd in Las Vegas

‘They are the antidote to that great ailment of our time: loneliness, and its attendant malaises of misanthropy and melancholy. Small wonder clubland is booming.’
