I was diagnosed with (Full Fat) Myeloma in March. A sleekit disease-put symptoms down to old age/menopause. Rib pain that wouldn’t ease. Took 6 months of pestering GP to get diagnosed. Amazing support now through chemo. Lauren. @MyelomaUK @bloodcancer_uk @laurenlaverne

What a way to end publication day! For the Guardian, I’ve written a piece on navigating the weird and wonderful word of Muriel Spark. Read it, and do give my book a read, too. LIKE A CAT LOVES A BIRD: THE NINE LIVES OF MURIEL SPARK is out right now! 🐈⬛ theguardian.com/books/2026/apr…

I'm delighted to announce that the paperback of Upon A White Horse: Journeys In Ancient Britain and Ireland will be published on April 23 by @headlinepg. Just in time, I hope, for better weather that will allow people to visit some of the beautiful old places I write about.
