THREAD. After a tough few months (involving my ex-publisher Unbound ceasing to pay their authors, then disintegrating) I am enormously relieved to reveal Joe McLaren's fantastic cover for my 3rd novel. The book will be published on September 11th. I believe it's the best thing I've ever written.

Still no payment from my ex-publisher, so I'm selling a few more of these (all purchased from their warehouse). The offer I'm doing is ALL FOUR of these, signed, for the price of the 1983 hardback (£16.99) plus postage. Please email me at [email protected] with your address if you want to nab them.

There is a narrative of “you are either with Israel or against it” that entirely ignores the reality that there are many Israelis outraged and disgusted by this relentless massacre too

THREAD. I decided to make this my pinned post because although a few people know about the books I’ve been selling myself and the sad story of what happened with my (now ex) publisher, not everyone who follows me here does...

I am excited that as well as Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal being out in a few weeks, there will be an EP of 10 poems put to music with @racheltaylorbeales.bsky.social that are thematically linked Signed books available here and your local indie cosmicshambles.myshopify.com
