I do rather yearn for the sea.

Do not bother to write again.

My latest published short story was in this lovely zine. It was called 'Hollow Be Thy Name'. The antagonising force is a restored medieval knot garden with looming yew topiary, in the grounds of a ruined abbey. #HorrorWritersChat

Just finished Body and Soul by @andrewhook.bsky.social and published by @elsewhen.press. This is such a beautiful book! Post-apocalyptic sci-fi with a literary bent. I know it will stay with me for a long time. #booksky #sciencefiction 📚🪐 #postapocalypse

A dominant theme of Hitler's speeches in the late 1930s is that Germany was surrounded by threats. These threats were imaginary: it was Nazi Germany that threatened other nations. But they were used to justify pre-emptive attacks. Trump is following this script.

We’re getting sick of hearing the name “Trump”. - the world.

Always feels good to be on a 5* list. Thanks Alexis

Good snowage out there today, and the river is like a mirror. #snow

Part of my Xmas book haul including The Wager and the Bear by @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social @johnironmonger.bsky.social and Retroviral @elsewhen.press @glasgowsurrealist.bsky.social Both I have wanted to read them for ages #booksky What books did you get?

Christmas is hard for many. The years roll, the ghosts at the table increase. We’re haunted by the absence of voices, of laughter engines who drank and ate with us. This can be day of remembrance rituals. For what it’s worth, Hooklanders near and far are in my candles today. Be gentle on yourselves.

Why does Xmas bring the ableist dickheads out like a flood of unwanted holly ? Why cannot people write a simple Christmas message in a card without saying something utterly inappropriate for those housebound? Grr #disability

I’m often underwhelmed by novel rewrites of ancient myths, even from female pov - feels like excuse to set a story in ancient times without doing archaeologic research + project modern sensibility on past. I long for a book showing strangeness/difference of ancient times. Any suggestions? #booksky

The final scenes of the TV show of 11/22/63 destroyed me & explain my obsession with Sam Cooke's 'Nothing Can Change This Love'. If you love SF with high stakes, compelling characters & impossible love, all rolled into one, then check out my novel! @elsewhen.press 📚🪐 #timetravel #sciencefiction

Looking for the perfect read for a fan of historical fantasy this Christmas? I’ve got you… Grab Witchborne, stunning sprayed edges and all, and find out why fire can’t dampen a woman’s power. @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social #witch #christmasgift #christmasgiftideas #readergift

How is it only three weeks until Christmas?! Are you gifting books this year? I know I am 😊 📚🪐 #booksky #sciencefiction #sciencefictionbooks #climatefiction #timetravel @elsewhen.press

💙📚 If you like cutesy timey-wimey books then you’ll hate my novel King Street Run 😬 KSR is an adult fantasy (no, not *that* sort of adult). A satire that takes an irreverent look at life, being working class, and what to do when attacked by gargoyles. And it’s stuffed with easter eggs. Ta-daaah!

"Rise of Krampus" is out! 1862. It’s after visiting hours at the Cape Misfortune Asylum - but a visitor has turned up nonetheless. Is he the terrifying Krampus of local folklore - or a madman escaped from the isolation ward? Either way, his story is beyond belief! mybook.to/RiseofKrampus

We’re in sunny Brighton for World FantasyCon. Have set up our tables in the dealers’ room, which will be opening soonish 🤗

Happy Samhain, this sacred festival has been cheapened into scary thrills and plastic tat. The ancient festival is about illness and death, the ancestors and the spirits that haunt our minds and our land. As we descend to the dark, let us embrace it #dartmoor #devon #halloween #samhain #photography

I haven’t been to see an exhibition for years because of #mecfs + being housebound but if I could i would go to this wonderful exhibition on slugs by @abipalmer.bsky.social which features slug discos, slug votives + a wall where you can smear clay messages disabilityarts.online/magazine/rev...
