Today we are contemplating how to blow up a steam train. #research ##authorlife

The last time I was at #scifiscarborough, I had to manoeuvre a pram laden with several kilos of books down the zig-zagging cliff path, trusting to misspent hours of F-Zero on the SNES to get self, books and child to the spa in one piece. Here's to an easier voyage this weekend. #comiccon #authorlife

#FantasyIndiesApril Day 14. The Fog by Kate Bush has been a bit of a theme in my head for the next Holly Trinity novel.

And a bit more #FantasyIndiesApril catch up for day 13. One of the things I've most enjoyed with book three is delving into Holly's childhood and her family life before everything changed. A hint I dropped in the first book is finally being brought into the light.

A quick bit of #FantasyIndiesApril cryptic catch up for day 12 from Holly Trinity Book Three... "What the scut are you doing here?" Holly yelled. One was seized with panic, the other coldly unimpressed. "Actually, I'm not rightly sure who I just said that to." She admitted.

New #shortstories anthology A Sparkle of Woodland Magic is available now in paperback and ebook. #Fantasybooks #newbook bensawyerauthor.wordpress.com/2025/04/14/a...

New #scifi short story anthology Justice for Pluto is out today. ##newbook ##shortstories #bookrelease www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F2G7PX4...

##FantasyIndiesApril Day 9 One of the running themes in Holly Trinity Book 3 is the possibility that time may be running out sooner than the characters think...

#FantasyIndiesApril Day 7 The next Holly Trinity novel contains a place only cats know, a song only horses hear, and an elephant in the room that may not be metaphorical...

#FantasyIndiesApril Day 6 The Holly Trinity series is set in modern-day York, with Holly's inner Sanctum in Holy Trinity historic church cropping up again in book three - this time receiving some unexpected visitors.

#FantasyIndiesApril Day 5 "Three levels of seats rose high in splendid arcs, a sea of plum velvet contained in a skeleton of embossed creamy wood. There was no show in the main house tonight, and yet a single figure stood at centre stage. Mira knew at a glance who she was."

#FantasyIndiesApril days 3 and 4 came together with a historical fantasy book I've been struggling to find time to read and the gardens of a nearby historic home.

A Sparkle of Woodland Magic is a new anthology of fantasy #shortstories exploring enchanted forests and the magical creatures that dwell within. Available for pre-order from today. ##newbookalert ##fantasyreads

#FantasyIndiesApril Day 2. The third Holly Trinity novel is set at the height of summer. It has an atmosphere of midsummer madness, a time of enchantments during long hot days, but with a sense that colder, darker days are around the corner. @lvrussell.bsky.social @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social

#FantasyIndiesApril Late intro here, I write the Holly Trinity series of supernatural urban fantasy novels. Working towards getting the third book out by the end of the year. @lvrussell.bsky.social @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social
