So there you have it. My ex-publishers who last year stopped paying me for the seven books I'd written for them, have today gone back on their promise that some of the money that they owe me and their other authors would come through. I should have guessed.. www.thebookseller.com/news/unbound...

Come see our panel on SATURDAY at MCM London! I’ll be on the Writers Block stage with some incredible authors to talk about writing in genre fiction 🚀🧛‍♂️⏱️ @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social Space, Vampires and Time Travel: Writing in Genre Fiction Saturday, May 24, 2025 6:00 PM - 6:45 PM

It’s #findsfriday and here for your enjoyment is the Nebra Sky Disk, which I was lucky enough to see at the Stonehenge exhibition a couple of years ago. Made of bronze, it dates back to 1600 BC, and is considered the oldest depiction of the night sky

This is your occasional reminder that we have a @starsandsabers.bsky.social starter pack, which we add our editors and writers to, so you can follow them all! go.bsky.app/3oedMuX

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

If you see this, post a vampire and pass it on

A windy walk along the Ridgeway past ancient barrows helped blow the January cobwebs away #january

Please can you help @hellenicsociety.bsky.social. They have left X 🥳 and would like to be added to relevant starter packs. Give them a follow. And please reskeet!

The amazing part isn’t just the wrong answer, but that the explanation it gives is accurate — and it *simply doesn’t know that 27 is a smaller number than 32.* Billions of dollars spent to make a black box machine that doesn’t know something elementary school kids know.

Ebook preorders have only been open a day, and already Amazon UK has OF SHADOWS, STARS, AND SABERS ranked in the top 100 of all anthologies, and high in fantasy and science fiction anthologies! All sellers of ebooks are now open to preorders ( and hardback and paperback). @starsandsabers.bsky.social

People who use AI to write books are missing the entire point of writing books Also the writing is the fun part of the publishing process

These people are your enemies

I know it’s freezing but I much prefer this silver-gold pastel-skied version of winter to the usual grey clouds and drizzle #ukwinter

If @jonathanmaberry.bsky.social says this #book is highly recommended, you know it's going to be good! @titanbooks.bsky.social will publish Future's Edge in 7 weeks' time, but you can pre-order it TODAY from all good booksellers. Links in bio.

Went for a solstice wander in the woods yesterday, then another beneath a brilliant blue-gold sunset. I prefer the winter solstice to the summer one; it feels like light sparking in the darkness, like potential as the wheel of the year turns. Plus there are mince pies ✨ #wintersolstice

Man, fuck this shit. These poor kids.

Everything about this is excellent 😂✨

#MondayMotivation If you want to start 2025 with an accessible guide to exploring the Iron Age hillforts 🛖 of Wales, why not seek out my book 📚 for a loved one 🥰 - or yourself 😉 There's an entire section on hillfort visiting to explore 🎉 👉 logastonpress.co.uk/product/hill...

I’ve been in and around the game industry for almost 20 years. I’ve worked on mobile, PC, console, and card/board games. I’m experienced with licensors and big IPs. I wrote the mobile smash hit Lily’s Garden, which made like a half billion dollars. I’m a good grab.

Well worth a read ✨

Thrilled to have a story in this gorgeous anthology, and with such a stellar list of authors ✨

We're hiring - we need Trainees & Archaeologists to join our Durham team. This is a great opportunity to work on exciting projects with one of the UK’s leading archaeological companies! More here: www.pre-construct.com/jobs/durham-... #ArchaeologyJobs #TraineeJobs #PCAJobs #JoinOurTeam

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project." Read that again: **116** times. Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding?? www.scotsman.com/hays-way/bum...

Had a lovely visit to Milton Keynes Waterstones yesterday to sign copies of The Last Raven ♥️ As a former bookseller, this is an author dream come true ✨ Also Waterstones has double and triple stamps this weekend and my book is RIGHT THERE just sayin’ 😁 @waterstones.bsky.social

This is such a lovely concept 💖

You know what would **really** disrupt the publishing industry? Fair contracts and decent pay for authors. No AI training without the creator’s consent. Artists and translators on the cover. No NDAs for ghostwriters.
