I did a reading today, from my upcoming novel, as part of the Willoughby Literary Festival. 😁 It was a fun experience #writinglife

Doing more editing on the current work in progress/ novel today. Trying not to procrastinate too much. The game face is on. “Get yee behind me, you massive albatross of a novel!” I need to see it through…so I can start another one 🤣 #writinglife #ishouldbewriting

Here we go! The editing on my horror novel, title to be announced, due October.

saw an ad in my feed for an Ai app geared towards fiction writers. First of all, f*** off. Second of all, congratulations on developing something that no fiction writer wants or asked for. Pressing a button and having a machine spit out a story for you is not art or expression. Please stop.

REMEDY Is the latest novel by multi-award-winning, ex-pat Australian author, @jsbreukelaar.bsky.social . Imaginative, evocative, and sumptuously written. Well worth your reading.

Just a reminder to any author friends to include notices for “No AI training” on your copyright pages. We’ve all seen the news about Meta’s massive AI training book heist. Let’s hope those affected band together and create a class action.

I can’t believe I waited this long to see MANDY, the 2018 film directed by Panos Cosmatos and starring Nicholas Cage. What a trip! This film *was* like a cross between an acid trip and a heavy-metal video. I recommend it. It’s FANTASMA-GORE-IA.

Is there anything more terrifying than vastness of space? Between the lack of air, the radiation, and freezing temperatures, no other environment is more hostile. Kudos to Pauline Yates for authoring such a rip-snorting novel. It’s a snappy read and it packs a punch. books2read.com/PYates-Shatt...

Set amid corn rows in whistle-stop America, PEARL is the story of a naïve girl, living an insular life on her parents’ farm. More than anything, Pearl dreams of becoming a star. This film is brilliant! an interesting blend between horror and nostalgia #pearlfilm #horroraddict

We on this again.
