Listening to a builder's radio station. It's awesome, the music slaps and the adverts are all about drywall and power tools 😆

The cruelty is the point.

I NEED YOUR HELP! But first, go get your free book: mybook.to/insolitudess... Yes, In Solitude's Shadow is free! And the rest of the series is on sale. It's super cheap 🙌 But the help, you say? Please share this far and wide! Neurodivergent, queer, middle-aged characters. Sweeping scope. Go!!!

The COVID enquiry and last night’s ITV documentary shone light on a dark time - when billions of pounds of public money were shovelled into the pockets of private investors rather than public institutions - wasting existing expertise, wasting money, wasting lives in the process.

Monday, can we have a chat? I've thought long and hard about this and I don't think we should see eachother for a while. It's not me, it's definitely you.

Happy Autumn Equinox! It's the first day of autumn, when day and night will be roughly equal length. Days will get shorter, nights will get longer, and all coffee will be pumpkin spiced. Farewell summer, hello spooky season... 🍂🎃 #autumnequinox #halloween

I'm reading A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence by Stephanie Burris which is as cute, fun and comfy as expected. Once I finish that later today I shall dive straight into the grit and blood with A Winter's Mercy by Phil Williams.

btw if you've got IndieGogo experiences feel free to share them!!

My favourite absolutely wild convention experiences, a thread.

Good morning and happy Sunday! Just finished AK Faulkner's Sword of Avalon (11 in Inheritance series) which cheered me up massively after a family visit - they are so good - now on to Juliet E McKenna's The Green Man's Holiday, which appeared in my inbox early. Another great series and this one...

Thread repost for the evening crowd because I love you too 😘

If only 10% of the people following me bought a £0.99 book from me, I would be able to buy a castle for my cat and if that doesn't motivate you I don't know what will. shop.ravenswordpress.com/products/jac...

If the thing you want to tell me about ADHD is more than thirty seconds into the video you've made, chances are you've already lost your target audience.

Re- re- re- re-, well, you get the idea, -reading @poopraven.bsky.social's Inheritance series.

Reading my way through @poopraven.bsky.social Inheritance series, why yes I did read book 5 in less than 24 hours. I think it's safe to say my reading anxiety has gone for the moment and I couldn't have been reading a better series for it.

If you'd like to come camping in Wales for a couple of weeks to avoid an indefinite stay at the J K Rowling Reeducation Camp for Naughty Transies and Other Undesirables, we have plenty of camping space.

Good morning, everyone! Did you know that I've got a queer urban fantasy series heavily steeped in Welsh and British folklore and mythology? Book 11 was released yesterday, and book 1 is only 99p if you need a new obsession / binge read! shop.ravenswordpress.com/products/swo...

Morning Bluesky. America is taking part in Russia’s rival to Eurovision.

I must apologise. I decided to write a 25 book series about punching fascists, but I expected to finish it *before* fascism took over.

It is Talk Like a Pirate Day! Ahem "AI will transform society into a intergalatic utopia by next year, that's why we can't pay you for stealing your work." #NoAI #AIIsTheft #PayHumanCreators #amwriting I found these on Artvee, a production of Penzance from the Twenties so I assume for men.

#kidlit help! Looking for recommendations for books for a year 5 student, English is their second language, they're looking to move on from picture books but school are recommending Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl and I know we can do better than that!!!

Anna has been helping me rework an old manuscript this year and it’s been awesome. She revitalised my enthusiasm for the book with her insightful feedback and suggestions. It’s not just improved the ms - it’s improved my writing overall. Stop swithering! Get yourself in TWA’s diary for 2026.

If any tech investors would like me to make them an actual dodo they can cuddle with, they are a million pounds each. 🧶

THE BONE RAIDERS is an epic fantasy with tons of heart, equal parts serious and fun. I had a great time in the Tapestry, and can’t wait to see what Jackson Ford does with the sequel. 🪐📚💙 #BookReview 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-b...
