The novel finally passed the 60k threshold. Finally.

I've heard a certain pre-order and cover reveal are coming next week, so let's have a mood board in anticipation 😈 THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT 📽️ opening night is September 15th! A Titan Books Production

The weird thing about only really having one morning every week to do writing is that I've been slowly killing this character off for the last month, and I'm starting to feel bad about it.

tag yourself i’m I AM MANOEUVRING WITH DIFFICULTY

The two greatest jumpscares (the hand through the window in Under the Shadow, and the nurse in The Exorcist III) also play perfectly with time. Both scares come long, long after the viewer expects to have been surprised by something.

Thrilled to see THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT get a nod here alongside upcoming books by Cynthia Pelayo, Kylie Lee Baker, Eric LaRocca, and more! "It begins in 1994, when three friends go out to see a movie, and only one friend leaves" coming from Titan Books on September 15th! 📽️

The four-year-old got given some "reading positivity" stickers and spent the morning making a sticker wall. He just proudly showed me his two favourites.

Has the Edge Hill short story prize disbanded? Haven't seen any info on the 2025 prize in months, and it would be an enormous shame if it has ended.

My new novella BODIES OF WORK arrived and it may be one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever gotten my hands on. Too bad the story inside is probably one of the weirdest, darkest things I’ve ever written… but that’s kinda the point, yeah? On shelves April 7th! Thank you @titanbooks.bsky.social

Christ, Masters of the Universe is going all in on the man-baby nostalgia isn't it? Looks dreadful.
