I follow the doctrine of falling leaves. An adept of autumnal sun, I sprinkle cinnamon on the foam of my coffee. Wrap myself in whispering, twilight shawls. I paint pictures, that immediately become #famous, with rain water spilling across the black asphalt. #vss365

It was a persistent rumor. A constant buzz. Fans whispered that the band’s most #famous song is cursed. Radio DJs laughed but removed the track from their lists. Tribute bands pretended it didn’t exist. One girl sang it on tiktok for hype and lolz. And was never seen again. #vss365

The best education he found was between the cutting stems of tall grasses in the wetlands of his homeland. Winds of change carried him half across the world, over mountains and planes, but he never forgot the letters written in sharp cuts on his skin. #vss365

UTTERLY BRILLIANT NOVEL. The construction, voice, emotional heft, and conversations with the cat.

It's a café! It's a bookshop! It's both! Caffè San Marco in Trieste, which dates back to 1914. My first visit to Italy in 25 years, and I'd forgotten how fucking stylish the Italians can be. Photographs by Anne Billson en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caff%C3...

Those who can hear the #drama in the eastern winds, have no comfort in the soft shells of their homes. No matter how many pillows go into the walls of theirs forts, no matter how many book pages stand between them and the endless night, the darkness #creeps inside, cold and hungry. #vss365

What a trilogy, these characters, this world, this ending 💜thankyou @premeemohamed.com for Reid and Henryk

AN ANCIENTE MAPPE of FAIRYLAND newly discovered and set forth. London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 1918. I have a copy of this map of fairyland by Bernard Sleigh in my study to ponder other worlds. It's filled with awe and wonder.

Fun fact #3: in my previous career, I did some work in Cryptography (encrypting & decrypting written messages/cyphertext) Since #cryptography is still a pretty big passion of mine, I've hidden lots of "secret messages" throughout all my books. The LARGEST SECRET of all still remains undiscovered💙📚

A little matcha and a little horror 📚🩵 #booksky

Proofs are in! A huge thank you to @sceptrebooks.bsky.social for sending these my way. LIKE A CAT LOVES A BIRD: THE NINE LIVES OF MURIEL SPARK will be out in April, and these proofs will be going out into the world imminently. Terrifying! Exciting! Mostly terrifying!

This is one weirdly colored cookie 🤔 I hope my curiosity doesn’t get me into trouble. #writerslife

My brain is having a wobble, so immersed myself in a Harry Clarke inspired piece to calm it (a little)

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

Well, you heard the man, folks. (though no shame on werewolf fiends. I have a story with one in the pipeline)
