Amazing crowd at the book chat and signing. Sold out of books. Bonkers.

You go ahead and boycott whatever you want to for whatever reasons you think make it right. This is a free country after all. Meanwhile, I’ve reviewed an Israeli restaurant. Israeli food, Israeli culture, Israeli owned. And it was marvellous. thetimes.com/article/1456f7…

Oh my, love this! @WaterstonesCovG was my go-to bookstore when I studied at London School of Economics, so this feels like an awesome moment. Thank you for posting, @nathandeanDC! @LSEalumni @bedsqpublishers @noexitpress @ShakespeareLisa

Popped into the Covent Garden Waterstones in London and was stoked to see @isberryauthor’s The Peacock and the Sparrow on one of the tables, which the associate said was a big deal.

When I was the director of cancer services in west London, we included a smoking room in the cancer centre that we built. The press were shocked and asked why we would ever allow smoking in a cancer facility. I replied that, for people who are lifelong smokers, if they’re having…

"Haunting realism" is how @timesculture describes THE PEACOCK AND THE SPARROW. Thanks to @ShippersUnbound for this piece on my evolution from #CIA spy to spy novelist (Honored to be called "one of the freshest new voices in spy fiction.") @TheTimesBooks thetimes.com/culture/books/…


Exploring the Corycian cave above Delphi. Mind blown by the fact that locals hid in here from the Persians in 5th century BC, and again from the Nazis in 1943. Utterly incredible.

Delighted to write this piece on how Graham Greene's THE QUIET AMERICAN - a cautionary tale of entanglement - inspired my spy novel, THE PEACOCK AND THE SPARROW, set during the Arab Spring. Thanks to @AspectsHistory! @ShakespeareLisa @bedsqpublishers @noexitpress #grahamgreene


I cannot believe how late I am to the @HoleLubbers Lubbers Hole podcast. Every Aubrey-Maturin novel earnestly and fondly discussed. Any fellow O’Brian junkies, dive in, for all love! Not a moment to be lost…

We have the wonderful @isberryauthor coming on the podcast in a couple of weeks. Don’t miss it! @JakeKerridge knows his stuff. This debut is so special @ShakespeareLisa

"Berry has all of le Carré's cynicism about Western intelligence services & outsoars him in her ability to convincingly evoke a love affair against an espionage backdrop. This is a star in the making." Wow, thanks so much to @JakeKerridge @Telegraph for this rave review!

Thinking that openly cheering on the rape and murder of Jews, calling for the destruction of an allied democracy with women's and gay rights and the imposition of a misogynistic, racist, homophobic Islamist theocracy makes you one of The Good Guys

What’s the weirdest thing society accepts as normal?
