I'm honoured to be included among The Observer's Best Debut Novelists of 2026. Huge thanks to everyone involved.

A Bolsonaro win — aided by Trump and Big Tech billionaires — will be the likely end of the Amazon, the lungs of the earth. If you have young kids, you are watching them get locked into an extremely dangerous future.
You’re not mad enough at the fascists and their collaborators.

"If we want to oppose this new fascist strain, we really have to get a move on. 'I don’t tend to use this language, I try to be measured, but I think I’ve earned the right to escalate,' she says. 'The moment we’re in, people are really mad and however mad you are, it’s not enough.
Because there is something so profound about no longer believing in the future, about seeing no value in our shared home, in the natural world. They’re traitors to creation.' theguardian.com/books/2026/s…

NAZA is as urgent as documentaries get - history in the making. 24 IDF sources reveal the indiscriminate logistics of the ongoing Palestinian genocide, and how AI has weaponized surveillance into extermination.

Doyle’s writing is deceptively simple. His words are unpretentious and yet each one is vital, the style tending towards shorter sentences which accumulate in elegant layers to build a wholly immersive world ✍️Carole Hailey wp.me/p8Mk4U-1oVT

Chelsea Football Club is today mourning the passing of former chairman Ken Bates.
The club sends our heartfelt condolences to Ken’s wife Suzannah, the rest of his family and his friends.
Ken’s determination to fight for Chelsea when times were tough, and drive the team on to winning trophies will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, Ken.

So are we saying Palestine Action should stick to letter bombs and arson? xitter.cf/i/status/2066470967992…
We're still here!

All jokes aside, The Telegraph ran several articles on this topic recently too, all while ignoring the books actually being published. What happened to the Catholic novelists? Well, have a look at contemporary fiction and find out.
I mean, if you take The Observer's word for it, a quarter of the most notable debuts of 2026 are Catholic in one form or another. observer.co.uk/culture/books…

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.
Jon Doyle retweeted
"Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 yrs, has said a collapse must be avoided 'at all costs'. 'I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5% &even then we were saying that risk is too high given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s >50%'"
Though I would say, if spoilers are an issue for you, maybe skip this one.

I'm absolutely delighted to share Communion has found a home across the Atlantic, doubly so because it's with a house I've long admired in @GraywolfPress.
Coming May 2027
