Stark Holborn serà a la @porticohispacon.bsky.social de Sabadell per parlar, entre altres llibres, de la saga «Deu Ras». No us perdeu les seves xerrades!

Hoy @starkholborn.bsky.social (interpretada por @cinexina.bsky.social), @susanavallejoch.bsky.social, @beatrizalcana.bsky.social y servidor hablaremos a las 18:00h sobre «Piratas, soldados y fugitivas» en la @porticohispacon.bsky.social ¡No se lo pierdan!

Absolutely thrilled to be heading to @porticohispacon.bsky.social this weekend to talk dystopias, pirates and fugitives with some wonderful people. Here's where you can find me. ¿Estarás ahí? ¡Saluda! @mangrii.bsky.social @elenatorro.bsky.social

Due to a warehouse problem around launch time, the Immeasurable Heaven won’t be stocked in any Waterstones for the foreseeable future. I’ve compiled a headache-inducing pile of nice blurbs and would be so grateful if anyone who enjoyed my weird non-human book could reshare. Thank you!

"It's powerful, concentrated and enthralling, a book to be inhaled as much as read, and then to be considered and turned over after." 🙏🙏

¡Habemus programa (oficial) de la @porticohispacon.bsky.social! ¿Nos vemos el sábado 20 de septiembre para hablar de «Piratas, soldados y fugitivas» con @starkholborn.bsky.social, @susanavallejoch.bsky.social y África Vázquez? Mira aquí el resto del programa: hispacon.org/horario/

REVIEW: “To say THE IMMEASURABLE HEAVEN by @caspargeon.bsky.social is inventive is like saying the Mona Lisa is a portrait. It’s true, but it doesn’t really scratch the surface… You are not ready for this book!” Full review 👇🏻 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-i...

Hi I wrote about some things I’ve heard and seen at the Develop games conference, plus some games recommendations from cool folks www.theguardian.com/games/2025/j...

@starkholborn.bsky.social reminding us the easily forgotten nuances of this messy world we live in. 💅🏻🙌🏻 #developconf #sessionnotes

This week is @developconference.com‬ and our brilliant writer Stark Holborn is giving a talk! Tomorrow she will be discussing her process and tips for writing for procedurally-generated content. If you’re there, make sure to go listen | Tuesday 3:00pm - 3:45pm in Room 1 @starkholborn.bsky.social‬

Detectives, we've just had a tip off that there's been a sighting of Shadows of Doubt writer @starkholborn.bsky.social at @developconference.com . Make your way to Room 1 tomorrow at 15:00 to gather some vital information regarding the latest in procedurally-generated writing 🖋️ #DevelopConf

Had a go illustrating an Idiran from Consider Phlebas a while back - these guys are quite tricky to imagine from their description in the book, although I did find a tiny sketch of one in Banks’ own drawings that’s very interesting (and not really much like this)

My schedule is starting to chock up so any narrative/games writing/sci fi nerds/IF fans/general good people at Develop next week want to meet for a coffee/pint/chat/point tiredly at each other - drop me a DM! @developconference.com

I've got a story in this! (which I can only describe as a Cornish daguerrotype horror western)

Yes we are half way through 2025! It felt longer but fear not I have a half year look back and one or two (ish) recommendations for the holidays! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/6/...

I just feel a lot less certain the further in I get. When I’ve been here another ten years i will be a silent, suspicious, shadowy figure, like the Smoking Man, standing at the side of GDC talks looking sideeye

¡Nos hace mucha ilusión presentaros a nuestra primera autora internacional! @starkholborn.bsky.social es novelista, guionista de videojuegos, crítica de cine y autora de Plomo al Cuadrado @eltransbordador.bsky.social), nominada al BFA, y también de Vuit de Hel y Deu Ras @chronoscat.bsky.social)

"You know how the strongest liquor is poured out in the smallest shots? That’s what this book is — it’s a shot of whiskey for the imagination. Outstanding stuff." Huge thanks to Frasier and FanFiAddict for this wonderful review of the Triggernometry Series 📐

I do dream that one day our haunted little space game, in which the sky is always blue and you never actually die, will find its audience.

Looking forward to helping @stefmowords.bsky.social launch his dazzling new cyberpunk novel next Sat And by launch I mean admistering a merciless literary Voight-Kampff test
