Tonight at 6pm. The wonderful @luluallison.bsky.social will be chatting about her new novel _BEAST_ and her writing. @womenwritersnet.bsky.social @waterstones.bsky.social

2/ THE GHOSTS OF CHALK COUNTRY will be a book about the ecology of our chalk downs, but it will also be about ancient fertility rites, shepherds, soldiers, organic fascists, pagan activists & English identity. It's also a project to resurrect the ghosts: ghostsofchalkcountry.org/2025/09/14/i...

I did indeed love Train Dreams by Denis Johnson. Thanks for the prompt Jo.

A reminder that TODAY at 6 pm BST we'll be interviewing writer @LuluAllison.bsky.social. Lulu will talk to @drhelenmtaylor.bsky.social about her novel, "Beast". This is the third in our series of #AuthorInterviews. Come and join us! Discover a great #newbook and pose your questions to the author!

Do join us for my online life-writing/memoir workshop 26/11 with the excellent @saloneurope.bsky.social to write and read about objects and memory, Proust, social history, archiving the body, Ernaux and more. Book fast as nearly sold out! Be great to see you there! eventbrite.co.uk/e/things-we-...

Fresh off the back of being recommended by @robinince.bsky.social, today’s #BookQW is taken from the short story anthology Two Similar Looking Men With Umbilical Hernias by @zenabarrie.bsky.social, and is a prime example of her ability to combine the absurd and the existential to masterful effect.

Happy publication day Colette and @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social - have a wonderful launch!! 💙🎉💙 #Celeste #books #booksky

I love pre-ordering on days when publication day posts appear 💙, this time from the comfort of a small café off the hustle and bustle of downtown O. Cannot wait to add this new Colette Snowden book to my Bluemoose bookshelf.

It's TOMORROW: at 6 pm BST, @drhelenmtaylor.bsky.social will be in conversation with @LuluAllison.bsky.social for our monthly #AuthorInterview! Join us, as Lulu tells us all about her recently released novel, "Beast"! #WritingCommunity #newbooks #books #reading

@ofmooseandmen.bsky.social @ronanhession.bsky.social I see your ‘Julia Roberts narrates tv series of Leonard and Hungry Paul’ and raise you ‘Lulu the singer and tv personality provides crucial research for BlueMoose Faust - inspired novel Beast.’ GET IN!

Helpful insight under post for my @womenwritersnet.bsky.social talk. Look, I couldn’t resist ok, and oh boy, fuckenada. If tech bros are going to/already rule the world, it’s going to turn extremely comedic. If the internet is dead, it’s also dead funny. #lulu #luluthesinger #beast #beastthebook

Happy to announce that my poem "Perish and Live Forever," which first appeared in MEXICANS ON THE MOON, has just won the @sfpoetry.bsky.social 's Dwarf Star Award for poetry. This award is for best micro poem of 10 lines or less. Many thanks to members who voted. It is a big honor. Much love!

#Rapture is imminent - it's thrilling! But if tomorrow, nothing has changed and you want to recapture the heady rapture thrill of today, buy a copy of my book, Salt Lick from me. Probably the only book on the 2022 Women's Prize for Fiction longlist that included any reference to the blessed event

Thank you. And don't 🙂

I'm really looking forward to chatting to @luluallison.bsky.social about her new novel #Beast published by @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social on Thursday night. Feel free to join in the chat over on our @womenwritersnet.bsky.social feed. It starts at 6 pm UK time. #authorinterview #WomenWritersNet

Cow, Eggerdon Hill

Just wondering how all the rapt are going to feel when they wake up Tuesday to find they too have been left behind.

Beast in the wild today at Waterstones in Norwich @luluallison.bsky.social @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social Beast by Lulu Allison. One of my fave books of the year.

No one cares - but in a good way

Call and/or text your loved ones regularly, nothing else really matters.

Ready for another #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterview on Bluesky? This time, we'll be talking with @luluallison.bsky.social about her recently published novel, Beast. Do join us on Thursday, 25 September at 6pm BST!

Anti Fascists are now designated terrorists in the United States. Anti genocide protestors are now designated terrorists in the UK. All the decent people are going to end up in jail. How the fuck did we end up here?

New bell people just out of the kiln. I’m thinking of some themed bells. Maybe for books?

The American accent makes the word ‘fart’ sound much more farty than does the English.

Love, hate or feel a bit different about social media? Tell us about it at our upcoming #WomenWritersNet #Skychat on Thurday, 18 Sept at 6pm BST when we'll discuss #WomenWriters on Social Media. Our chats are on Bluesky at @womenwritersnet.bsky.social--do join us! #WritersLife

Whenever my mum had a sickly green/brown mess of henna, under either silver foil or a shopping bag, on her head, she used to say ‘just my luck Robert Redford is going to knock at the door any minute now. ‘ 🖤

Final week for the Haunted Paper exhibition at Dorothy, Jamaica Street Liverpool. It’s been a great few weeks with visitors from near and far. Come and have a look! Mon-Fri 9-5.

It is so nice to get a letter like this. I hope, fairly confidently, that there was a resolution to the sadness. It is a thing, for sure, knowing you have hit a mark, made an impact with your words. I'm so glad that this reader enjoyed Beast.

It is much easier for me to believe out of politicians (Starmer et al) than it is to believe in them (Polanski, Corbyn) The two are not unrelated. So I will believe in and vote only according to policy. And that means Polanski. Only policy options worth supporting right now.

Brilliant piece on the casual erasure of of a female artist from a landmark moment in pop culture. And the answer to the question, Why don’t Peter Blake’s other album covers have the power and impact of Sgt. Pepper?

Very happy to sign copies of Beast today in the excellent @resident-music.com - thanks so much for stocking Beast and inviting me in. Given the theme of the book I’m delighted it’s being sold in a record shop.

The excellent @luluallison.bsky.social kindly popped in and signed some copies of her enthralling and imaginative book, Beast. Score a signed edition here: www.resident-music.com/product/alli... @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

Night-time window open for the beautiful, familiar sound of wind and shingle drifting inland. Some bloke comes out of the pub shouting at his barking dog “Darren you fucking cunt, come here.“ I’m back in dear old Brighton.

@luluallison.bsky.social @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social look what is on the table in Mainstream Books St Boswells near Melrose 👍. (Couldn’t find any other Bluemoose publications but there are a lot of books there)

This is the man welcomed into the UK today by our PM. un-fucking-believable!

I was asked to do an interview with Ed McKeon for @hootandholler.bsky.social. It was really enjoyable, to talk about music and writing, given that Beast is about both. Thank you for the opportunity Ed. It was really fun and interesting. archive.org/details/lulu...

A pinned thread about my new novel, Keshed, publishing on 12th Feb 2026 with @ortacpress.bsky.social. Pre-orders available now from all the usual bookshops/websites. See thread for some early pre-press takes from some AMAZING writers and links to other stuff. www.ortacpress.com/product-page...
