Things that always work all of the time, with studies to prove it, boosting the economy and productivity, and increasing quality of life and public health, and that will never, ever be implemented within my lifetime: 1. UBI 2. 4-day working week

thank you everyone for the well wishes and congrats - still existing in a state of bliss here 😊

The wall hanging I made 😁

On Tuesday, it was our second anniversary, and Pete proposed ❤️ I doubt there has ever been a more immediate and resounding yes in the history of the universe 😅 Sometimes life is just really, really good.

The @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social finally giving us Jen Williams’ Copper Cat trilogy in gorgeous hardcover. Great addition to the collection. #bookmail #BookSky @sennydreadful.bsky.social

listening to old episodes of Last Podcast on the Left while I wash up and I will never, ever get over their attempts at Australian accents. Just wild.

imagine getting qt dunked by ed davey. unrecoverable. you’re furious and he is serenely going down a log flume in bognor regis.

I think I'm moving out of my social media era and into my Belatro on my phone era

Oh my god

Oop.

You should all know I’m annoying my mum by laughing at all the dramatic bits in Legends of the Fall

The @sennydreadful.bsky.social shelf grows yet again! Thank you @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social for making all the lovely editions. Proud to be nr. 29 ^_^

Using this piece by @reallygoodwizard.bsky.social in my introductory lectures for my design students.

love 2 see The Sleepless flagged up as one of the best fantasy books arriving this month ❤️ (in the US) fangirlish.com/2025/08/26/t...

Today in 2011, I had the idea that essentially started my writing career. See, sometimes procrastinating IS good

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

Something to pin, I think- a sampling of some of my favorite recent(ish) work! I'm a character designer, except for when I'm an illustrator, which is all the times I'm not a teacher, and the rest of the time I'm...asleep ✨

Thrilled to see The Sleepless listed as one of the possible YA blockbusters of the year 🤩 bookriot.com/blockbuster-...

Unfortunately it's too late, I've already portrayed myself as the cool dog stealing sausages and you as the humidity riddled furious kitten.

It's true, The Copper Promise ebook is on offer this month (probably available places other than Amazon, too)

SEPTEMBER! 🙌 Bring out your jumpers, it's the beginning of spoopy season (I will be ignoring the fact that it's still pretty warm, okay)

blessing your timeline with a bit of Donald O'Connor

It's almost time again #GBBO

putting things on my to-do list as fast as I'm taking them off this morning >_>

Uk peeps - worth checking this out

being a full time writer is 97% being confused about what day it is.

I spent yesterday at the Folk House in Bristol doing a silversmithing workshop - loads of fun! I made two rings, which I am very pleased with (I MADE THOSE LITTLE SILVER BALLS WITH A BLOW TORCH 🤘🤘🤘)

Oh wow, I had a review for The Sleepless that described it as having 'echoes of The Last Unicorn' 🤩 Having your work compared to one of your very favourite books is an especially lovely feeling

I love that The Sleepless is included in this goodreads list of hotly anticipated romance and romantasy books 😍 www.goodreads.com/blog/show/29...

it would also take dinosaurs to make me like little kids

in britain the anchorites of asda dwell by the sacred stones, solemnly intoning the words “that’s asda price”, and performing the necessary ritual (the double bum slap) three times a day to bring about the great rolling back when we will all be redeemed

listen, everyone knows the only way to get into SF is reading a battered copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy stolen from an old people's home. Or is that just me?

Enjoying a pint and a re-read of @sennydreadful.bsky.social Jen Williams !

I have decided that the writing soundtrack for this book is just Daft Punk. All Daft Punk, all of the time.

getting so many spam emails along the lines of: 'Hi! Your books look really exciting! What are they called? How many? Are you on goodreads?' Obviously they are nonsense but why would you email an author without knowing what books they write? Supposedly you have my name? Google it, bish.

I had two (2!) fun video calls today and now I am wiped, zonked, done in.

My first official BBC Doctor Who story is out today! WHAT STILL REMAINS is a Seventh Doctor and Ace adventure, and is read by Ace herself, @sophiealdred.bsky.social Available as a physical CD or as digital audio from your favourite retailer. Links at the link! www.penguin.co.uk/books/464137...

Oh this is sad. Each Peach Pear Plum still brings me enormous joy - when I worked in a bookshop I'd pause to reread it all the time www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

Right, the sequel to The Sleepless is back off to lovely editor - so new month, time to start a new book!
