Surprising perks of knowing (the basics of) multiple languages: if you need a name for a foreign character, you understand the statistics on, say, a French baby name site well enough to decide which name a French person who is X years old could realistically have

I often wonder whether I should get more beta readers and stuff. And then @siljaevelyn.bsky.social sends me feedback on my drafts and I remember why I only collaborate with her. Sooo good at what she does!

You die and enter The Cloud - a surveillance room where you can watch everyone and everything forever. Or you can make an Intervention, make one ripple in the course of history, in exchange for eternal life. Would you do it? What would you change? All links in my bio!

It's officially a year since I had my heart attack. Still going. Haven't touched a smoke since. Back to running half-miles. And just thankful to still be around. To celebrate I've put my novel on sale, so you can now get all 500-something pages of swasbuckling fantasy adventure for just 99p.

To anyone who's followed my struggle with my debut novel on other platforms: I JUST GOT MY RIGHTS BACK! My publisher just sent me a rights reversion document out of the blue. And I didn't need to pay anything. The publisher is closing for good.

I've not opened this app pretty much since I created my profile, but there seems to be a mass exodus from Threads, so I guess I'll be lurking here as well from now on, just in case

So how do I go about finding all the writers here?

My usual people from the old place have been divided between here and threads so I guess I have to be active on both now

Here are just some of the brilliant books I have had the honour of working with in some capacity over the past year as an editor/beta-reader ⬇️ Horror, steampunk, sci-fi, Greek mythology, thriller and crime, short stories, novellas and novels 📚
