Read on Twitter
For those who missed the drama yesterday - here's the digest. I was made aware that @BBCRadio4 were airing a long series about ghosts which was using the title of my book. It was the first I had heard about it and I looked up the presenter - and lo!
I contacted her directly
This was her reply
I challenged her
she denied she'd ever heard of my book yet assured no material from my book had been used in her programmes - a strange claim under the circumstances - you can't not have read a book and then give assurances about its contents
she got called out
and indeed her recommendation of my book from 2016 was still up on her website!
Turns out she'd even tweeted to me back in the day
Cue - operation strip tweets and website after being caught in a lie . But you can never really erase things properly from the internet.

I'd like to call on @BBCRadio4 to change the title of their ghost series, which they're already heavily flagging. I'd like @kirstylogan to apologise for lying to me as to whether she had read my book. The bad faith here is extraordinary.
I'd also like to ask all fans of the REAL Natural history of Ghosts to listen carefully to the series and inform me if they think any content has been obviously lifted from my book without credit
Don't steal, folks!
