I no longer feel an obligation to the publishing community. I have to do what is good and proper for my ego.

Reform: where no one is too corrupt, no one is too racist, no one is too incompetent. They welcome any and all shitstains. Very few questions asked. No principles ever needed. Just a raging sense of entitlement and a willingness to betray your country for money and maybe a grubby peerage.

Tonight! There’s a reading by yours truly on Total Rock radio - tune in around 9.10 to hear an early chapter of Girls to the Front

This book is a MUST read! Broken Biscuits by Adam Farrer. A great read about masculinity for anyone - but the Gen X-ers will especially love the nostalgia

Hmm, should people believe JD Vance or their own eyes? "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

now we find out if the rest of the world does anything to stop a rogue state, run by narcissists, rich kids, attorneys & podcasters, treating anything or anyone they want like a piñata - i imagine Starmer is in a meeting now checking with his advisors on best way to avoid upsetting the Daily Mail

Devoured in one sitting. So much to commend. The righteous feminist fury, the deft flitting from past to present, the descriptions of straightened childhoods, the sprinkling of magic. Came for the grunge; stayed for the plot. Bravo, @lucynichol.bsky.social

Beside myself with excitement for the new book by @lucynichol.bsky.social , ‘Girls To The Front’, a found footage feminist revenge thriller soundtracked by Riot Grrrl bands. Loving the cover - designed by Chris Bigg of 4AD fame. Book sourced by Yorkshire’s finest bookshop, @jebookshull.bsky.social

Epic few days...celebrated @lucynichol.bsky.social book launch and thoroughly enjoyed the Q&A, Coheed and Cambria at Birmingham Academy and now off to Netherlands for the Common Thread tour!

Anyone else’s cat have a side of the bed? So my legs get hot and I like to stick my feet out of the duvet. But Dennis the cat REFUSES to lie on the inside and, even if my arse is literally hanging off the side of the bed, he’ll find a way to move back to his outer side of the bed!? Over and over…

Thank you Nick! Hope you enjoy it!

This book was published today and is brilliant. I felt so strongly about it that I’m quoted on the cover.

Three events that inspired my upcoming book GIRLS TO THE FRONT (now on Goodreads pls add to your TBR!)

Has anyone on here (esp any hair professionals) used honey or apple cider vinegar on damaged hair to moisture or lighten it?? Is it worth a shot?? I can’t find anything negative online other than it only lightens by a very small amount (but also that you can mix with cinnamon!?)

LinkedIn sent me a notification to say it looked like I was making good use of the app and asked if I was enjoying it. I answered not so much. Then it asked me why.

Just realised it's possible to be normal around strangers. I was doing the other thing

This is going to be a problem for Reform eventually. A lot of them are complete wingnuts. I know lockdown created quite a lot of freshly radicalised loons and conspiracy freaks and we haven't reckoned with that as a society but even so, they don't really sound like a government in waiting do they?

He's not wrong.

Just found this 80s playlist I made in 2020 when I was writing my second novel set in the 80s (still in the proverbial drawer! Might do something with bits of it). Anyway, there’s some right bangers on this one. And isn’t Cruel Summer the best poppy pop song EVER!? open.spotify.com/playlist/4ou...

Going to write a floor plan of my characters’ home today….who knew you needed architectural skills to be a writer. And I haven’t even started on their wardrobes yet…

A tour of the #Hull venues that feature in my books The Twenty Seven Club and Parklife Did you go to any of these?

Do those weird purple fucking lip things work?? Do they!?

Just watched a clip with Josh Wink’s Higher State of Consciousness and now I don’t think I’ll sleep again until I’ve danced to it one more time…

Great read for this 47 yo who’s still as obsessed with Courtney as she was as a 14 yo….i still have my ltd edition white vinyl of Live Through This - bought on the day it was released…thanks for the lend @mollytie.bsky.social ♥️

Pushing Exeter Phoenix gig next week as it is a bit sluggish on sales exeterphoenix.org.uk/events/robin...

Had REALLY bad writer’s block earlier - so much so it physically hurt. But I *think* I’ve sussed my plot niggle now and it just needs to be edited in tomorrow…. Loving working with @goldcaro.bsky.social - such a brilliant and challenging editor who seemingly cares about the project as much as I do!
