Benedict Brown answered Roy Murry's question: Do you have an X/twitter account? Hi Roy, no, I'm afraid I've never done much on Twitter. My Facebook stays up to date, and I occasionally post on Instagram, but nowhere else. The best place to hear about my books is via my newsletter which you can sign up for on my website.
