What a lovely review! Thank you!

TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT! Ireland and the UK! March and April! As far as I know, only the O'Mahony's and Forbidden Planet signings are un-ticketed affairs — so plan accordingly! www.waterstones.com/events/searc... ti.to/eason/eason-... forbiddenplanet.com/events/2026/...

An easy trap a writer can fall into is writing so much you don’t make time to read (no one wants to reach that Garth Marenghi stage being a writer that has written more books than he’s read) so I’m glad that my year has started off so well. What have YOU read so far this in 2026?

March is aright around the corner but if YOU reckon it’s taking too long, read an excerpt of A Soul Full of Shadows right here! issuu.com/childrensboo...

Very nice!

Okay folks- SHOW ME YOUR SHELVES! On these ones I’ve got books by @joerlansdale.bsky.social, Grady Hendrix, @joe-hill.bsky.social, @chuckwendig.bsky.social and @rachelharrison.bsky.social. People always ask about influences but, honestly, I am what I read. #skulduggeryshelfie

I was a guest at a convention once and saw an author whose work I ADORE but on my way over to say hi I noticed that his fly was down and so I turned round because there was no way I'd be able to talk to him without pointing that out.

Come on over to my new Instagram page! I still have my own one, don’t you fret, but seeing as how I’m laughably bad at updating it, I figured getting a team to do it for me would free me up to continue writing stuff! Swing by for updates! Info! News! Whatever! Everyone wins! @landylandofficial

If it's Cary Grant's birthday, it must surely be time for me to post the "puppy in the jacket pocket" picture again. Be rude not to, really.

So utterly cool!

Check out my review of Doctor Strange #2 from @dereklandy.bsky.social and Ivan Fiorelli. Dare I say Mr. Landy is making me like Angela nerdinitiative.com/2026/01/14/d...

A 10/10 review for our latest issue of #DoctorStrange from those well-informed folks over at @nerdinitiative.bsky.social! nerdinitiative.com/2026/01/14/d...

The National Year of Reading has just launched in the UK. Reading, as I've often said, is quite a good idea, and this campaign encourages folks to delve deeper into their passion for books. MY books, in particular. (OK fine, maybe other books too) #GoAllIn2026 #NationalYearofReading2026

Some things are meant to stay buried... Watch the teaser trailer for LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY.

What happened to Katie? Here's the official poster for Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin's THE MUMMY, releasing 4/17/26.

Okay then, looks like this place will be my main source of social media (along with a renewed push at Instagram, more on that later). I'll check in on my Twitter account occasionally, I'm sure, but I won't be posting from there.

To mark the final batch of reissues (with astonishing covers by Matt Taylor) we're having a competition to win an art print! Be the envy of your friends! Never stop gloating! gleam.io/D6qzq/skuldu...

Things I’ll probably be saying a lot of in 2026: (to the stray cat) You’ve got to get out of the habit of biting me when I feed you.

The great thing about the reaction to the Doomsday trailers in cinemas (which I still haven’t seen) is the the love for James Marsden as Cyclops. Jackman got all the attention, which made sense, but i always wanted the movies to spend more time with Scott Summers.

I reckon I did pretty well this Christmas- how about you?

Merry Christmas, one and all!

Oh THIS looks interesting... www.kickstarter.com/projects/jon...

Watching the trailer for Disclosure Day and the thing with Spielberg is that you can generally tell it’s him by any single frame. This shadow? Pure Spielberg.

Rewatching Scream 6, got to the scene in the park, and noticing some rather odd people wandering around… Never noticed them before.

I do not begrudge paywalls for news sites or political opinions. They need funding. But surely SOMEONE can come up with a temporary “rental” rate that allows you to read this one particular article that has caught your attention instead of a full subscription…?

Oh this is pretty cool… Two little award things for the audio books/drama… Thank you to all who listened! wrappedforauthors.byspotify.com/en/?id=1459f... #SpotifyWrapped

Ah, books…

That feeling when you’re flicking through @sfxmagazine.bsky.social and you suddenly remember “oh yeah, I did an interview for them…”

Oh I DO like these analyses...!

Going over the line edit for A Soul Full of Shadows. This was such an interesting book to write. It had a MASSIVE subplot for Winter that was meant to sit alongside her ongoing story, but I was halfway through when I realised it was too distracting.
