What’s everyone reading lately? I adored Holly and I really enjoyed Whispers of the Deep! I’ve also got a couple more current reads that I gotta catch up on. Alas I’ve fallen behind on all my reading. (I only finished the aforementioned two because they’re audiobooks I put on during my commute.)

okay but why is manoeuvres such a hard word to spell like what the heck m a n o e u v r e s yeah okay whatever manoeuvres

you know when a word is on the tip of your tongue but all you can think of is how to describe it and you're going a bit mental about the whole thing and then you remember mid mind boggle that dictionaries are a thing 🙈

My current read - The conclusion of the GAEL SONG trilogy THE LAND OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD by the awesome @shaunalawless.bsky.social !! Will see after this final volume if this series ends up being an all-time fav... It is certainly on track to get there!

Double stamps at Waterstones today. Popped in for a look about. Saw @shaunalawless.bsky.social new book in the wild.

Awards season is looming - or so I’m told If you are nominating and have read my work, these are the novels/novellas that are likely eligible ☺️

Ahhh - I’m so excited it’s finally been announced!!

My story “To Love a Castle, To Love a King” came out today! It is an Arthurian retelling, and it can be heard as well as read. @zoeticpress.bsky.social #shortstory #writing Here is the link: www.zoeticpress.com/4lph4num3r1c

This is such a crunchy, nit-picky thing to be annoyed by, but I'm reading 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' with my English students and every single GR entry reads 'THE Strange Case' and no? That's not how Stevenson titled it? There's no THE! DON'T MESS UP THE AUTHOR'S INTENTION!!!

This is what I don't get about people who use AI. The whole point of writing is writing. Like ... what are you even doing here if you don't like writing? Go cook. Go hiking. Go ride a bike. Go play a video game. If you don't like writing ... then don't? But you can't claim a title you did not earn.

I don't use ai for inspiration. I don't use ai to write. I don't use ai for anything. I simply sit and WRITE. Because it's MINE. Because I LOVE it. And if it gets tough, I just keep WRITING.

AI Industry right now:

My S3 wishlist: Robert as Elros. ✅ Jamie as Celeborn. ⌚️👀⌚️👀⌚️👀⌚️👀 Glorfindel???? ⌚️👀⌚️👀 Mairon/Sauron/Halbrand/Annatar as Dark Halbrand in Númenor. 🗡️🗡️🗡️ Where for art thou Anárion?????? ⌚️👀⌚️👀

seconded.

my dearest darling internet, the actor was 'cast' in a movie. not 'casted'. the actor was never 'casted' in the movie. it's not a thing. cast > casted for movies/roles. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

JUST TWO AWAY!!! I'm so, so close to selling 100 KDP copies of my dragon short story this year! LET'S FREAKING GOOOOO ;) If you fancy a short story with dragons, knights and revenge, check it out! Only 99c! Any reposts to help me get there would also be most fabulousssss.

So in like 1/4 of the time it took to get all my Twitter followers, my Bsky numbers are now nearly on par with that and my posts get far more interaction. (We don't talk about Threads LMFAO.) (This just my way of noting where the best book interactions are happening for me. Bsky for the win, tbh.)

Raise your hand if you are in urgent need of a holiday 😮‍💨😅

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Starting Project Hanuman by @stewarthotston.com Just four chapters in and this already feels very different. I'm intrigued.

Movie idea: A lonely boy adopts a dog and discovers it has a strange talent for making French pastries. Call it "Eclair Bud."
