I thought it might be nice to give away my last 2 signed hardbacks of my novel 1983, with two lovely linocut hares by my mum. All you have to do to enter is repost this (& leave a reply). The book's been called "Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut and Sue Townsend”. Extract in the replies.

What a cheering parcel to receive on an otherwise dreich and dour Monday morning! That's my reading for the trip home for Christmas sorted. Thanks @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social!

I simply must be kept abreast of Thomas the horse's latest sartorial developments!

Personally I am keen to hear about the further (or at least pre-pot) adventures of Grunwald the Goose.

I'm giving away two signed copies of my (recently republished) book 21st-Century Yokel, with two postcards of this fab otters linocut by my mum, Jo. Just repost this & pop a comment below to enter. You might like it if you like: Walking Wildlife Folklore Bees Ghosts The Sea Social history Badgers

Flat inspections are a rubbish way to start a Saturday, but a delivery of cracking resin scenery from @fenrisgames.com means the afternoon will be much more entertaining! #wargaming #miniaturepainting

Author wrote best book he's ever written. Publisher disintegrated/fucked off with author's earnings. Book was finally published by new publisher. Author has bought two hardbacks, for full price, to give away, signed. Please repost/reply if you'd like a chance to win one.. bsky.app/profile/zygo...

Releasing this Friday is my FIRST post-TripleJump video! Adapting the style of my Launch Games videos (albeit with a stinky, horrible game twist), it's my hope that this will be the start of a brand new series! Sub to channel now: www.youtube.com/@Confused_Du...

A poser for the #Oldhammer lot. I have a bunch of 1990s High Elves to paint up for Dragon Rampant 2nd Ed. Should I base them on MDF bases (more space for models & texturing)? Or is that the behaviour of a real deviant and old-school slottas would be better? #wargaming #dragonrampant

To celebrate the rerelease of my short story collection Help The Witch via @swiftpress.bsky.social I’m giving away TWO signed copies each with a beautiful original linoprints by my mum, from the book (now v rare & worth £40). To enter you just need to repost this and pop a reply below.

Note from my notebook (2017).

Last call on this. I sent 8 out yesterday, more than 70 out today. That means there are just over 100 left. Whatever remains after this week will be distributed to local libraries (who've already had loads). If you're in the UK and you'd like one, please email your address to [email protected]

It's this time of the year again! Sellout September is kicking off next week! We are collecting money for United24 and the Palestine Childrens Relief Fund! There will be nonsense! There will be fun! There will be guests! Come by, and we'll have a great time for a good cause! bit.ly/SelloutSepte... 😎

My second novel, 1983, is now out in paperback. Roscoe and I have decided to give away signed copies to 4 randomly selected people who repost this and pop a reply below. You might like it if you like: The old, fun idea of The Future D&D Nottinghamshire Robots Imaginative children Aliens Mining

All I have left of the 1000s of books I bought from my ex-publisher's warehouse are about 200 copies of Ring The Hill. I'd *love* to get them to good homes this week. If you're in the UK & you'd like one, for the price of your choice (any price!), pls email me your address at [email protected].

Inflation really is out of control!

@confuseddude.bsky.social Has Babs been back to Stardew recently?

This is relevant to your interests @lordbrotovic.bsky.social

Trying something a little different for #tolkienreadingday this year. Hopefully knowing the story will help with all the gaps in my vocabulary! #hobbiten #thehobbit #norwegian #norsk #boknerd

My banna wava is complete and now Da Kommittee is ready to lead Da Revolushun to glory! The banner was done following @darcybonocreations.bsky.social's method for quick and effective dirty flags. I'm happy with how it turned out! #RebelGrots #wargaming #Gorkamorka #miniaturepainting #gretchin

For #WIPwednesday I'm back to my beloved Rebel Grots! This banna wava originally served as an ersatz Makari back in 3rd Ed 40K, paper flag and all. Now he's repainted for Da Revolushun! #RebelGrots #wargaming #Gorkamorka #miniaturepainting

A @badsquiddogames.bsky.social Saturday is always a good day! #wargaming

The Professor! #tolkienbirthdaytoast #justteathankyou

Da Red Gobbo had his first outing last night in a quick game of #fistfuloflead. He performed surprisingly well, taking out the enemy leader with a well-aimed burst of autogun fire. Not very grot-y really! #wargaming #Gorkamorka #RebelGrots

While rootling around a village, the dromedary regiment manage to disturb a cranky goblin! He promptly shanks the officer and scarpers before meeting an ignominious end at the hands of a brave soldier and her trusty iron bar. #thesilverbayonet #silverbayonet #wargaming #shadowofthesphinx

My officer finally has a mount... Nearly! But it is ready for paint at least. #silverbayonet #thesilverbayonet #wargaming #ospreygames #napoleonics #miniaturepainting

A grenadier of the Garde du Directoire exécutif is ready to join my Silver Bayonet unit! I have, unfortunately, realised I quite like painting stripes. It's gratifying but risks slowing my glacial painting speed yet further. #silverbayonet #wargaming #ospreygames #napoleonics #miniaturepainting

I should really use this place more... Unrelated, but my Silver Bayonet unit is finally ready to combat the forces of Evil. Vile usurpers and tyrants will fall! Vive La Révolution! Vive La France!

I finished up another few hobgoblins for Frostgrave! Some tricky bits to paint on these, but there's lots of nice detail. I think I'm happy with the results!

Another mini completed for my Frostgrave warband! This time it's a hobgoblin shaman from Midlam Miniatures. Now I've got an idea of the colour scheme, hopefully I can be a bit faster with the rest of the gang...

I finally finished a mini this year! A cracking orc shaman from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social for Frostgrave. Now on to the rest of the warband!

Some amazing Viking runestones and petroglyph stones from @fenrisgames.com. The details are so crisp! I have several projects that could do with these, and now I just need to figure out which is first...

I should post one of those introductory posts, shouldn't I? I'm terrible at finishing projects, and have several on the go currently, but here are ones I've been happy with over the last couple of years.
