Thanks to everyone that came out to this, it was a DELIGHT x

This is tomorrow! Me! You! @goldenharebooks.bsky.social ! All your questions! My excitable answers xoxo

American friends! The Shipwright & the Shroudweaver is 25% off in the @barnesandnoble.com pre-order sale! The graphic design is bad but I'm tired and I've forgotten to do my Spanish homework! The book is very good though SO, get on it ilu x

Today is cover reveal day for THE BONE BRIDES, and I am vibrating like a star in the sky! Not in my wildest imaginings did I ever think I would have a cover this beautiful. THE BONE BRIDES comes out Sept 29th---with exquisite spredges exclusive to the first edition! Pre-order links in bio!

I missed out on the chance to publish this book which was exceedingly annoying as it is wonderful. Happily, if you are Edinburgh adjacent, you need not miss out on the chance to hear Raf talking about his book.

We're very much looking forward to hearing all about The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver on Thursday 26th. Join us!

A wee reminder that I'm at @goldenharebooks.bsky.social next week to talk all things Shipwright and Shroudweaver. Alight with ideas for this one so book early to avoid disappointment. goldenharebooks.com/products/the... Booking feeds the little idiot I live with so don't let him starve.

Finally remembered to book my ticket for this Edinburgh event I already started reading the book and so far it's rather gorgeous Looking forward to hearing you talk about it @rtorrubia.com goldenharebooks.com/products/the...

"I lay waiting between turf-face and demesne wall, between heathery levels and glass-toothed stone. . . . and I rose from the dark, hacked bone, skull-ware, frayed stitches, tufts, small gleams on the bank." First and last stanzas of BOG QUEEN

Hey pals, I'm down at the beautiful @goldenharebooks.bsky.social at the end of the month (March 26th!) talking about The Shipwright and Shroudweaver. It'd be lovely to see you! Tix as below (click my giant heid), my boundless affection available in person goldenharebooks.com/products/the...

May you all trip and fall 🌊⛵️

Buoyed up by this perceptive, thoughtful and generous review from Niall at @locusmag.bsky.social, which gets the book down to its core. locusmag.com/.../short-ta...

Really looking forward to chatting all things Shipwright and Shroudweaver with @dunfermlinereads.bsky.social this Thursday 26th at 7:30pm on Instagram live. Come say hello!

Lovely folk, why not come chat all things gothic, fantastic and salt-struck with me at But n' Ben Books, Stonehaven, next Saturday 28th? There'll be a cute wee dug and some live music from my pals David and Gloria too.

& evening arrives & you escape - the light lengthening noticeably - reed buntings on barbedwire & the gap beneath a deerfence someone has made passage; way back a red kite cambers, steadies ENE

The cat, the ship and the mage are all out the bag - grab your tickets early to hear myself and the lovely @cameronjohnston.bsky.social have what promises to be a truly wild and wonderful chat. April 16th! Waterstones Argyle Street, Glasgow. See. You. There.

Goodnight, snow moon.

Not saying I'm tired, but meant to write to a pal saying "I'm sorry things are tough" and wrote, "I'm songs". Which would be nice, frankly.

Passing time on the train North. Incredible last line, might crib it for Book 2.

Aberdonians! Come and see us on Saturday the 31st! For putting up with our nonsense you'll also get to hear Raine's interesting and erudite thoughts, AND she's bringing origami.

Today, boat with generously timed seagull. A raddled shed. A pleasant face. Windows illuminate.

Hi pals, me again, we've added extra seats for Saturday's event with myself and @mkhardywrites.com but are down to the last few tickets, come and goth up your weekend. I'd love to see you there!

Delighted to spotlight a critical member of the Ship and Shroud team, who is preparing the way for the arrival of my co-author next week.

In return, @farwall.bsky.social, a pleasantly gothic moon.

Evening @farwall.bsky.social, today it's a perfectly round dustball of a squirrel.

Start the new year right by coming along to see myself and the inimitable @mkhardywrites.com talk about all things Scottish, gothic, fantastic and fictional at Blackness Library as we discuss our new books, The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver and The Needfire. FREE tix via Eventbrite.

hello @farwall.bsky.social, today all I have is a train station looking somewhat acceptable

Evening @farwall.bsky.social, today the trees held the moon from rolling off.

Happy New Year when it comes pals, wishing you all the kind of onward that you want, and all the holding dear of what you love.

Evening @farwall.bsky.social, neither a bird nor a bush today.

Evening @farwall.bsky.social tonight it's a little punch of gorse. Yellow is the only colour permitted in winter, apparently.

Evening @farwall.bsky.social. We have a lot of birds and sky up here, little else.

I fell asleep but tonight it's a lichen-bright little yellowhammer @farwall.bsky.social

Very humbled to be in truly incredible company on @jamreads.com books of the year. Why not see in 2026 with The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver, and all of these other stellar titles?

The Corner That Held Them by Sylvia Townsend Warner. Gimme that lush, high-budget period miniseries. We deserve the nuns.

Merry Crowsmas Eve, @farwall.bsky.social, and indeed, the rest of you lovely lot.

Looking for the perfect last minute Christmas gift? Why not sneak my wild, epic fantasy of murdered gods and stolen names under the tree? Guaranteed to see you through the coldest nights. Link in bio. Merry Christmas, sailors ⛵️🌊❄️💀

Evening @farwall.bsky.social, tonight it's one hill just sat there.

A slip after midnight @farwall.bsky.social but today it's one puffy little finch.

& close to sun-stilled but deepwinter it moves more quickly - flare 8.30 & gone 7 hours later: a buzzard sits parallel as you watch sun set (under empty jackdaw nests, 2 robins in angry chase through jagged tangle) - aftermath of clucking fieldfares, startled blur that may have been woodcock

Evening @farwall.bsky.social, tonight it's a series of curves bordered by lights.

all day it was evening - gloom & glimmer - water pulsing powerfully, wavering & searching, overtopping ditches or flung high in HGV wallow & wash - & yet the fierce winds warm, ripping agri-wrap & testing twine securing gates: a hunker down & wait but a strange version, unwinter

Evening @farwall.bsky.social tonight we're back to spindly things in fields. And also this photo.

Also! I keep coming in late with these but tonight, @farwall.bsky.social we have a little silver mouse on some cheese.

Hard to believe I'm posting another beautiful review of The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver, but I'm so buoyed by this on a freezing Monday. Snippets below, full thing at: www.instagram.com/p/DSSD-3MCiu...

Evening @farwall.bsky.social, tonight it's an icthyosaur conference. Obviously.

Very late but good eveningish @farwall.bsky.social tonight it is the pinprick honk of geese.
