Just had an email from a Charlotte Mecklenburg about one if my novels. I think it’s a scam but it’s written with just enough humanity to make me doubt myself. It’s not selling anything and has some grammatical errors but I don’t know her so…stranger danger I hate that this is the world we live in

I'm wondering what % the changes in Supergirl from the source material result from the studio wanting to please its new fash owner? Sure, it's built on True Grit but Lobo, the ending and other (grimmer) stuff are choices about the role of women, whether mercy is valuable and the utility of violence

It's out today! THE IRON ROAD paperback is now yours to own and misuse as you please. This brings the Tales of the Plains trilogy to a close, and may well be my best work. You decide! harpercollins.co.uk/products/the...

Hi I went to see Minions & Monsters and was really pleasantly surprised. Full review in the link. #reviews #minion #film #movies

minions vs monsters is a love letter to cinema and funnier than it needed to be. Definitely passed the 6 laugh test and there were countless references to the black & white era (everything from Buster Keaton to Casablanca) together with an excellent George Lucas gag and even Plan 9 from Outer Space.

If you’re in the UK and love all thing #SFF i heartily recommend joining the British Science Fiction Association and the British Fantasy Society. Both organisations are inclusive, provide a bunch of support for writers and readers and run great events.

Review: Angel Down by Pulitzer Prize winning author Daniel Kraus The adversary in no man's land says @stewarthotston.com at his NOAF blog review: www.nerds-feather.com/2026/06/revi...

One week to this incredible panel, get tickets get tickets get tickets

Was reminded today of how absolutely astonishing Death Stranding 2 is as a game and a story.

Steve Jobs predicted cities would be designed around this device, which was "as big a deal as the PC." Jeff Bezos called it "one of the most famous and anticipated product introductions of all time." don't let our tech lords fool you into believing they can predict the future.

Congrats @simonguy.bsky.social.

After the brutally good Hex House by @amyjanestewart.bsky.social Next up is The Dream Hotel by @lailalalami.com. Loving the premise of this one.

Go get your free book... and maybe check out the rest of the series while you're at it! mybook.to/insolitudess... Shares appreciated!

TV Show Review: Widow's Bay @deanfortythree.bsky.social has a meaty and considered review at the NOAF blog: www.nerds-feather.com/2026/06/tv-s...

Hi all, a review of the pretty disappointing Supergirl. Not Milly Alcock though, who is excellent. #review #supergirl #movies

Supergirl was fine? I REALLY wanted to love it and there are some really bright moments. The casting is phenomenal. But it loses its magic in sloppy editing and strange narrative choices. Gah. How annoying. Honestly, masters of the universe is the better story and that's daft as a golden retriever.

Genre defying = we don’t know how to market it.

It's a morning where I have 1000 ideas and they're all boring.

THE FIRST TEN PAGES PROGRAMME! Are you a BIPOC aspiring author searching for feedback on the first ten pages of your novel? The BFS is offering members anonymous feedback from industry professionals. The submission portal will be available soon for works of speculative fiction!

@clhellisen.bsky.social cake!!!

I was going to write about Widow's Bay but I've had it with Labour and the appointment of a Thames Water defending, Oxford PPE wielding, Blue Labour Blairite has baked my brain. Because I know not everyone wants this nonsense in their feed this is one that's free but for subscribers only.

Yo. It’s my birthday today. Fancy buying one of my books?

Seeing as we're celebrating our new home @profilebooks.bsky.social today, it's a good time to remind you of all of our wonderful authors! Ft @premeemohamed.com @aptshadow.bsky.social @rainewilson.bsky.social @vajra.me @natania.bsky.social @mkhardywrites.com @edashtonwriting.bsky.social & many more!

the write ups of the pm's fall never mention his biggest reforms—those that made the uk far, far worse for minorities my latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/starmer-out/

the system isn't broken. Starmer and his government were socially regressive, ignored key parts of their manifesto and tacked HARD to the far right arrogantly assuming they could ignore the people who voted for them. This is what is supposed to happen when a government ignores its people.

It’s a signing sheet kind of day.

Starmer finishes with the same shit as he’s done all along. Sign this petition and help our trans siblings.

It’s the weekend!! Yay and as you’ve been good here is this week’s Wombling Along with reviews and articles I caught online www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/6/...

Ok. Most important question of the day, maybe even the week. Chocolate: store in the fridge or not?

Hey you check out the cover of my freakin’ little book because I love it so muchhhhh 🪱🩸📕

I’m tired of endless nonsense about fiscal rules as if they’re divine but also as if politics is just about balancing the books. Balancing the books is temporal and politics should be about values and, you know, actually improving things for people. I say this as a decades long investment wanker.

Excellent analysis of one of my favourite comics of the last few years.

Signing sheets in the kitchen for the next book.

New ep for my favourite podcast.

your periodic reminder that space isn't cold. It is an effective vacuum. These are NOT the same.

1/n On what matters in stories. I once played a larp where the group I went with didn't want to write a backstory Our entire concept was the 'A team' but we actually did the crimes and so didn't talk about it It was a weird western game. we played Europeans who found themselves in the Wild West

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

I've not got to vol 4 yet but I read vol 1 and was blown away by its capturing of living inside chronic illness as a groundhog day experience. I'm really looking forward to getting to this.

For the afternoon crowd - if you want a copy please do shout

Comic Book Review: Absolute Martian Manhunter Lean, green and cosmic in a way you've not seen before a really great take on a classic DC character. says Stewart Hotston( @stewarthotston.com ). Read the full write up at the NOAF blog: www.nerds-feather.com/2026/06/revi...

Morning all, with pre-orders up for my new SFF thriller, The Next Enemy Will Be The Last, if you happen to be a reviewer and would like a copy please do let me know and I'll pass on to Newcon Press It's a weird cold war SF thriller about spies, parents, physics and nuclear war #SFF #review #scifi

Ah, that manuscript is off to the editor! No comes the boredom of having nothing to do.

'It's all just remakes and superhero movies n-' Nope. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJo_...

Film Review: Disclosure Day It’s not about the power of whistleblowing. It’s about the power of movies says @carturo222.bsky.social at the NOAF blog www.nerds-feather.com/2026/06/film...

A reminder that this moral panic about the internetz will be used to deliver digital ID. That's the story. Illiberalism in action when good thinking could have developed policies to challenge large tech platforms and the damage they're deliberately doing to our society Instead we get digital ID
