A new story, written by me and read by @docoho44.bsky.social for #HamsterBookClub!

Thank you to @joshort.bsky.social, whose love for Peter Capaldi knows no bounds and who this year gave a brilliantly dismissive takedown of Class that had me howling. In a year where we are still expected to take Doctor Who spin-offs that nobody asked for seriously, that was a great thing to hear.

Thank you @paulmagrs.bsky.social and @stevecolewriter.bsky.social for this wonderful book. Stories that show us the familiar from a new perspective, remind us to look at life through others' eyes, and that entertain and move, with fabulous illustrations. May there always be stories and storytellers!

Jesus fucken Christ. I ordered some undercrackers, lads. Nothing came. No despatch email, no delivery confirmation, nothing. So today I check tracking online. Evri "delivered" them to my side garden (just chucked randomly). AND THEN THE FOXES THE FOXES (breathe) ATE MY FUCKEN PANTS

Is there anyone on Bsky who remembers this book? It's been out of print for a while, because it needs revising in the light of 5 more years of research & experience (including a proper translation of Umdat ul-Kuttab). Being unpaid work, I've simply not been able to prioritise this, so I've decided…

A little late, but K9 is 48 this month!

A remote village? An outsider from the big city? A local coven? Devil worship and a human sacrifice? It must be Folk Horror, erm, classic K-9 AND COMPANY, a festive treat from 1981!

Some things happening in the next few days! Tonight's art show in Levenshulme, where I'll be selling original paintings. Tomorrow - a book signing in Bury Waterstones. And next week - the publication of this Dr Who collection, to which i've contributed a story about 13, Missy and Azal the Daemon.

Tonight, Clare Balding proved a universal truth that anyone working in customer service could tell you: people do not read signs. #CelebrityTraitors
