Wakka-wakka eh-eh. Bloody love Kai Havertz ❤️

I was having a rubbish, stressful day and then a bird shat on me. Had to laugh. At this point I just respect whatever cosmic force is fucking with me.

It’s my book birthday! 🎉 A DANCE OF BURNING BLADES, Book 2 of The Invoker Trilogy, is out in the UK today! Thank you to everyone who has joined me on this journey! Get ready for battles, ancestor magic, and big revelations! See below for links to the Goldsboro and Illumicrate exclusion editions!

Over to the White House for the latest press briefing...

Not long ago I worried that my secondary world’s cruel all-devouring republic was too unbelievable

Work was kicking my ass so I popped to a bookshop on my lunch break. I impulse bought something from an author who's great... I've accidentally grabbed the third book in a series.

Tuesday, you dehydration headache.

EXCLUSIVE: Promises from a beautiful cover and a premise of Logans Run meets The Giver (wish a dash of Autonomous by Annalee Newitz), KILLSWITCH PROTOCOL by @mjkuhnbooks.bsky.social promises to be a blast. Come check out the gorgeous cover!

How amazing does this look?! Infested Publishing killed! Out April 24th, preorder today and add to your goodreads!

I've mostly adapted to the BlueSky lingo, but I've had 35 years of my life where "Gooner" means an Arsenal fan... It very much does NOT mean that here.

Late to the party, as always, but Wonder Man is great.

Modern kaijus just aren't as scary...

That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another.

Its weird how you can pick up on an author's vibe through their writing. Like, regardless of the plot and characters, something gets through. I finished Coffin Moon last night and despite all the blood, gore, and bleakness, I get the feeling @keithrosson.bsky.social is a hopeful, kind dude.

MAKE NEW STUFF. MAKE NEW STUFF!!!!! THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER BOOK SERIES TO ADAPT!!!! jesus christ make new stuff. this is exhausting

DNF'ing a book that people with great tastes have reviewed and recommended is odd Like, I'm fascinated, what am I not getting? What does my tiny brain not understand? This one was too cruel for me. Not the characters, I can deal with Dark with a capital D. I just didnt trust the author's compass.

It's been a year now. It's odd, it feels both longer and like no time at all. This isn't a sad post, I just want his stupid face on my timeline again.

If you've got your prompts for our Prompted Stories pop-up and fancy some inspiration... Here's what @davidkmitchell.bsky.social did with the prompts: Sleeper Train Corpse Seeds A dark, immersive flash in Mulch trashcatlit.com/mulch/

Seeing Eastercon posts and pretending I'm not jealous

You've done your best today, have a high-five

And above all, you let life defeat you. All the gifts your parents gave you, all the love and patience of your friends, you drowned in a neurotoxin. You let misery win. And it will keep on winning till you die -- or overcome it.

Fuck me, @ianthegreen.bsky.social Extremophile was brilliant. I'd like to write a really thoughtful and articulate review, but... it was a vibe.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility AND it's my book birthday! LOADING...THE MACHINE CHILD is now available from @speculationpub.bsky.social ! Check it out if you're into urban legends, transfemme MCs, or low-fi scifi vibes! #tdov #transdayofvisbility

The Lesser Spotted Completely Spent Biro

Push past that awkward feeling, the worry that you might look wanky or performative. Supporting people matters more than your self-consciousness. This counts double if you - like me - look like a default character on a western rpg, and have an offensively generic name.

It starts tomorrow peoples! Our spring prompted story challenge begins with Trashie selection (blindly choosing your prompts!). The link to select Trashies will open tomorrow at 9am (BST) until 6th April. We're getting the generator ready🦝 trashcatlit.com/prompted-pop... #submissioncalls

Finally reading Coffin Moon, its been on my TBR since seeing Rosson on a panel at Brighton. It's really enjoyable, exactly what I expected from his vibe, its grungy and smells of cheap weed, but its also wholesome as fuck - beneath all the constant, gruesome murders, that is.

Animalympics is the greatest kids film that no-one else seems to have seen.

He's a big fan of the lighter evening. 🐩

Because my brain is cooked I only just realized my weird little trans novella comes out on #transdayofvisibility 🏳️‍⚧️

My new reading stand is pretty, but it costs a lot to maintain.

Look at that. 👀 Lovely bit of book post on a Sunday. @infestedpublishing.bsky.social

Midnight plumbing, because despite the stopcock being across, the lingering threat of it leaking earlier was stressing me out enough to not be able to let it lie. ...why am I like this? Plus side, fixed the leak.

New local councillor is a little Reform prick. 🫠

Happy release day Magda! Come get your slice of cosy folk horror with a sting in its tail 🐀🎭🐁 #folkhorror #BookSky

Look, obviously I don't support Remmick's many, many murders and his general enthralling of people, but his rendition of Rocky Road to Dublin meant a lot to me as a kid, so obviously I'll still get tickets to his next gig.

Shall we all just ditch school and sit flicking between Kerrang, Scuzz, and MTV 2? youtu.be/w_-lAtIXwuQ?...

The Jetsons lied to us

There are lesser Eldritch Gods, ones that don't dabble in plagues, pestilence, and chaos. One such god seeks to destabilise the food chain, and when his followers sate his hunger with sacrifice, he bestows his twisted gifts upon them. First he salted the caramel, he popped the cakes...

Out Friday, people!

I love getting edits. Someone looking at your shit and saying, "I like this, and I like it enough to be invested in making it even better."

Oh, great. They're not just crap and redundant; they're also unethical.

Being ambidextrous in this time period is such a waste. "Oooooooo, I can do admin with both hands." Centuries ago I'd have been a vital asset in tower seige AND defence.

I went through an embarrassing amount of variations before remembering how to spell 'sieve' this morning.

everything in the news makes me want to throw up and scream

Acts of kindness/sacrifice from people who don't owe them are my love language, and im a sucker for a story about hope. Project Hail Mary carried all that from the book into the movie brilliantly. 🙌

Its a lowkey, first world problem, but everytime I log onto my laptop now, it wants to sent a verification text or email Entering my password is under "other ways to log in" What is it with the gentle shitification of all tec? Everything gets just a little less intuitive or useful with each update

Watching Project Hail Mary tomorrow, in a booth. Need to give myself a pep talk before. "This isnt just for you. Its fine if its a bit more light hearted. It not being perfect doesn’t affect the joy the book gave you."
