Good morning world. It is still yesterday in California so we still have an hour or so left of the Kickstarter campaign. We are currently at £7223. Anyone else fancy joining the fun? www.kickstarter.com/...

Just finished "The Sheltering Flame", the first novella in Wiz Duos volume 3 from @wtpress.bsky.social and it was excellent, a very satisfying contemporary fantasy that reminded me of Peter Beagle or Charles de Lint - three burnt out academics discover their fixer-upper house is a magical sanctuary.

Join me in calling on @RachelReevesMP to stop propping up declining oil and gas companies with £2.7 BILLION of tax breaks a year (🤯) and fund a jobs guarantee for workers instead: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

Today's update features a real-life Welsh princess who eloped with a young king to help lead a guerilla army, died fighting the English, and may have also been a notable author. www.kickstarter.com/...

Ghosts linger amid the fields of England, waiting to be summoned by passing feet. As a walker faces the spectres of his own grief, he's drawn into a struggle between the paths connecting us & the boundaries that cut us apart, in Walking a Wounded Land. wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/nove...

Yes, it’s a serious problem (From @privateeyenews.bsky.social – posting to include Alt text)

Today's piece of Welsh legend is an actual piece of fiction that Cheryl wrote. It tells the tale of Princess Gwladys and the villainous Gwynllwy the Bearded: www.kickstarter.com/...

There was no response to our post about witch trials this morning, so let's recap: In the 16th to mid 18th centuries, around 500 people were executed for witchcraft in England, and perhaps as many as 1500 in Scotland. The equivalent number in Wales was FIVE.

In the early modern period (16th to mid 18th centuries) some 500 people were executed for witchcraft in England. In Scotland the number may have been as high as 1500. The majority of these people were women, though by no means all of them. Do you know what the equivalent figure was for Wales?

Today's Kickstarter update tells the story of Saint Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers, and some pretty extreme behavior by God. www.kickstarter.com/...

Our Kickstarter campaign is proudly part of Witchstarter, which is running throughout October. Many other fine witchy-related campaigns can also be found under that label. #WitchStarter www.kickstarter.com/...

Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In any discussion of food and farming, unless your solution can be scaled to feed 8 billion people, you shouldn't be taken seriously. Unfortunately, cottagecore fantasies that would feed only the richest consumers, leaving billions to starve, are all too common. www.monbiot.com/2023/10/04/t...

We have an early update today because Cheryl will be offline most of the day. She's at the Senedd, so today we are talking about the law code of Hywel Dda. www.kickstarter.com/...

Anyone in #BookSky 💙📚 interested in supporting this?

A transphobic pressure group is trying to ban trans women from Hampstead women’s pond – we’re fighting back goodlawproject.org/s/4860b3

Happy editor @rozc.bsky.social with the next @wtpress.bsky.social Wiz Duos from @r-emrys.bsky.social and @aknighton.bsky.social - launching at WFC!

Oh hai, yes, I am @rozc.bsky.social now, I am going to do the editing when I finds my glasses and baccy....

Me and @rozc.bsky.social decking about...

Not long to go now. Our Kickstarter campaign for the Welsh folklore anthology launches on Thursday. Check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/...

Well look at that, it's a fine pair of novellas by me and @r-emrys.bsky.social exploring relationships & landscape. Ruthanna's story is a wonderful tale of queer found family & shared obligation, while I deal with grief & memory through the magic of walking.

I poured a lot of guts and angst into this. I wanted to write different SF, about being alive, afraid, and looking for something to fill the hole that lives in all of us. And look, you get another novella with it! Find out where to buy: wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/nove... #bookQuote

Do we have a new anthology project in mind? Oh yes! Find out more here: www.kickstarter.com/...
