Well, the world is a bit of a mess, isn't it? I still think there are more of us than them. They're just louder, more obnoxious, and have the billionaires on their side. But if we stick together we can overcome their shit.

Good Boy by @talkscaredpod.bsky.social is Your Next Must Read Book "Great things come and small packages and Good Boy nails it on every level. Easily one of the best releases of 2025. " gnofhorror.com/good-boy-by-... #booksky @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social @jonezyboy.bsky.social 🩸📚 💙📚

"You know the Reichstag fire? Where the Nazis, oh that's us in this analogy, they used it as an excuse to take over the government and then start WWII and commit heinous genocide? Yeah that's us right now. It's like the Mitchell & Webb skit except I'm saying we ARE the baddies. Like the Nazis."

A new prologue for a new book has been written. It's fairly unhinged, even for me. Nice to finally write something for myself again. Has been far too long! Hopefully lots more coming soon.

One more cheeky share as I'm absolutely knackered so recycled posts will have to do. New book out yesterday! Thanks to all for sharing 🖤🥰📚

Join me for my (new) 1st @waterstones.bsky.social panel! The @britfantasysoc.bsky.social x Waterstones #CoventGarden are delighted to announce ‘Humanity: Through the Looking Glass of #Fantasy’ ⚔️✨ on Tuesday 12 August 2025 @ 6pm (BST). TICKETS 🎟️: www.waterstones.com/events/human...

If you want an #IndianaJones Nazi-punchin thrill ride, Captain Moxley and the Embers of the Empire by @danhanks.bsky.social has you covered. It's probably the best book to read in that particular genre: savvy, "goddamn satisfying," funny, and suspenseful, with plenty of epic shenanigans. 🏺

Brilliant event at Urmston Books last night (it’s a great bookshop) hosted by Jo. Arranged by @britfantasysoc.bsky.social we had a fab panel event on world building. Enjoyed spending time with the rest of the panel: @danhanks.bsky.social @alethearlyons.bsky.social @elizachanwrites.bsky.social

It's today!

I'm really excited about this anthology. I wrote a weird one for this (yeah, yeah, I know).

Come join @elizachanwrites.bsky.social, @danhanks.bsky.social, @paulsedwards.bsky.social, & me on June 24th for a panel on #WorldBuilding. Still a few tickets left. At @urmstonbooks.bsky.social Arranged by @britfantasysoc.bsky.social. Tickets: www.urmstonbooks.co.uk/building-new-worlds

Hi, does the idea of Indiana Jones if the main character was Rachael Weiss's character from The Mummy sounds like fun? Then you need this book!

While listening to a publishing podcast today, I heard mention of just how tough it was to launch a debut in the pandemic. And I can tell you: yes. It was. Anyway, this was mine & it's a lot of fun! Help a pandemic debut out and give it a go? www.barnesandnoble.com/w/captain-mo...

Tickets are just £5, redeemable against a copy of Eliza, Paul, Dan or Alethea's latest publications, and includes a drink on the night. Book your ticket and reserve a copy using the ticket link or by calling into store at 72 Flixton Road, Urmston, M41 5AB.

From near-future dystopias to sprawling alternate realities, we'll explore how worlds in speculative fiction are created and how authors draw inspiration from their own experiences. @danhanks.bsky.social @alethearlyons.bsky.social @elizachanwrites.bsky.social @paulsedwards.bsky.social

Have you ever wondered about what goes into the creation of a brand-new world? Join science fiction & fantasy authors Eliza Chan, Paul Edwards, Dan Hanks & Alethea Lyons for a live discussion on the art of world-building. #BritishFantasySociety #SFFBooks #AuthorTalk #WritingPanel #WorldBuilding

Next month!

HUGE congrats, Anna!!!!!

This was, truly, the most fun event I've ever been a part of - and the turnout was HUGE! Such an amazing evening, thanks to the organisers, the staff, the other authors, and all those who came along. It's a joy to have something like this up north. Make sure you get along to next year's event!

I'm about to hit 5k followers. So how about a give away? Like and repost this, and I'll enter everyone who does into a draw to win a full set of my British Fantasy Award nominated Empire of Ruin series! Good luck - I'll do the draw this Friday afternoon :)

Can't wait!

Today I did a book blog entry spotlighting some of the best books I've read in 2025 so far. Its not all of the best books but its the ones that I absolutely HAD to spotlight. Oh my god. What a great year for books so far: roland19.wordpress.com/2025/05/15/t... #books

Fab review!!!

13 days to go brings us to @danhanks.bsky.social and a countdown of a very different kind in The Way Up Is Death... Dan Hanks books also feature 80s nostalgia, grown up heroes balancing fighting ghosts with parenting & Indiana Jones if the main character was Rachel Weiss's character from The Mummy

Thank you to everyone who has signed our petition, 6,000+! Authors deserve to have a livelihood and compensation from their work, if you haven't signed do so now 👇

I’m getting spoiled with book post this week! Look what just arrived! 😻😻 @gabrielahouston.bsky.social @sophiavahdati.bsky.social @stephenaryan.bsky.social @elizachanwrites.bsky.social @danhanks.bsky.social

The Way Up Is Death begins with a mysterious tower appearing in the skies over England. Thirteen strangers are pulled from their lives to stand before it as a countdown begins. Above the doorway is one word: ASCEND. Tickets on sale now! www.waterstones.com/events/its-s...
