Have just given online feedback about the new yahoo mail layout, the substance of which was "Stop changing things". If anyone's looking for me, I'll be out front, shouting "Get off my lawn!" at some pesky kids.

Perhaps instead of looking at who is being invited to present at festivals around Aus, there should be an investigation into who has a position on the boards and whether they have ANY capacity to properly represent the rights of the artists and the community. No more corporate control

The Adelaide Festival board PR release paraphrased: We don't understand -writers -books -festivals -the arts -audience -what our job is -how to resist interference -the gravity of our mistake -how to apologise. So we've obliterated Writers' Week & left the whole Adelaide Festival boardless, byeeee.

That deep, emotional chill? A.G. Slatter's The Cold House delivers it. A sharp, devastating novella where grief and folk horror collide. Haunting, clever, and utterly compelling. Full review: gnofhorror.com/the-cold-hou... @angelaslatter.bsky.social

A Forest, Darkly launch! Pulp Fiction Booksellers are hosting at the Thomas Dixon Centre, West End, 10 Feb. I'll be in conversation with the fab Joanne Anderton about grumpy witches in the woods & all things Sourdough Universe. Tix can be bought online or instore. pulpfiction.com.au/p/a-forest-d...

Plotting notes...

My disrespect for tomorrow has led me to now, 2.19am, when I've just finished my first Mick Herron book. Worth it.

I yelled (admiringly) at this character

Oh, The Night Land! Containing a Japanese translation of my story "Red Skein". 💜💜

Twenty-one years of work as a writer...

Finished a short story. The two-thirds point? Where my soul dies, or more precisely sits in the path & starts yowling like a cat who's decided this whole walk is just too much, a terrible idea & should never have been started, & would someone please just carry it home and never mention this again.

Wolf moon.

It's the end of the year, and time for my list of favorite reads from 2025! Bear in mind that some of them aren't published yet, as I have access to ARCs (but trust me!) I seem to have read an inordinate amount of parasite-related books this year. Huh. #Booksky #Books
