For anybody attending the World Fantasy Convention in Brighton next week, this year I'll be the 'Roving Reporter' for the British Fantasy Society. If you want to do a short interview for the BFS socials, let me know! Or feel free to find me while we're there 😄 @britfantasysoc.bsky.social

I'm pretty sure I know which of the #RevPit #10Queries posts is about The Trail of Blood Red Stars... It's been so much fun reading through all of the feedback, and I've learned a lot! Looking forward to hearing from the editor who read the query letter / opening pages. Thank you for your thoughts!

Excited to look for my #RevPit #10Queries feedback!

I'm about to enter #RevPit #10Queries Enter now for a chance to win free feedback on your query and first 5 pages 😄 Fingers crossed!

This week I had my first (ever!) author interview! It was a joy to discuss Fantasy with Phasmid Press and unpack how I approach my own writing (as well as my complicated relationship with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 🐉) Read here: tinyurl.com/2s4b97kw #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #AuthorInterview

I've kindly been given an agent referral for The Trail of Blood Red Stars! I'm not sure what influence a referral has upon querying, but it's exciting either way 💌 #amquerying #querying #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WriterSky

During EasterCon, I was (kindly!) ordered to query the agents of my comp titles, so I made sure to do that today! This brings the total number of outstanding queries to 9 - who knows what'll happen? 💌 #amquerying #querying #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WriterSky

Happy Terry Pratchett Day! We're so grateful to @rhi.bsky.social and @terryandrob.bsky.social for digging up a signed first edition of Monstrous Regiment for the Genre Creators for Trans Rights charity auction. It's up to £6005! Which means we've raised over £13k! www.32auctions.com/organization...

Yesterday ended with 3241 words written and the chapter I started before EasterCon finally finished! Through the power of more tea, hopefully I can pull off a similar writing sprint today 🍵 #amwriting #writesky #writersky

2230 words later, and we're getting... Somewhere?! I'm having a lot of fun with this project, at the very least! We'll see about finishing that chapter today though 🤔

Today I'm working on the first draft of my next book - I'm never entirely sure of what's going on in opening chapters, but it's nothing a cup of tea can't fix! I'm hoping to finish this chapter before the end of the day, so we shall see what happens...

I didn't take part in #PosterPit because I was at EasterCon, but here's my poster for THE TRAIL OF BLOOD RED STARS: When her only friend is kidnapped by gladiator traders, Nuada begins a quest to save him - by striking a bargain with the demon that has possessed her... #PosterPitQ #F #A #NA

So in the midst of the chaos and joy of Eastercon, @ngjeannette.bsky.social and I have set up a charity auction: Genre Creators for Trans rights in the UK and South Africa as a small personal response to what's happening in the world.

I had a wonderful, wonderful time at my first EasterCon! My sincere thanks to everybody involved in organising the event - I can't wait for next year! 💌

A week had passed since Nuada's exorcism. Her fingertips were black with rot. She rubbed them against her restraints, staring at the roof of the hut. With her arms bound above her head, her body had stiffened and numbed, but dull pain pulsed through her hands. #1stLinePit #Q #Querying #A #F

Nuada has abandonment issues at the best of times, so she might've not handled this particularly well... #ChaosPit #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Fantasy #Querying

I (23F) got possessed by a demon. My exorcist was a creep, so I ran away before he could exorcise me. He then tried to kill me and sold my ONLY FRIEND (23M) to gladiator traders. I need to save my friend - so I struck a bargain with the demon for help... AITA? #UnhingedPit #Fantasy #WriteSky #Q #F
