Another day, another dozen 🤖 emails with vapid synopses of my books & chummy, over-familiar attempts to scam me into paying for reviews/promos. This time they're hijacking the name of some nice Dutch influencer who probably has no idea she's being impersonated by these creeps. Block 'em all, kids. 💣

Looking forward to seeing this... 🌔

Laid eyes on these today & I had an automatic sense-memory of a certain "pop-hiss" sound. #IYKYK

Seeing all the breathless 007 💾🐎 this week, which boils down to "oH nOEs, this popular intellectual property has a complex continuity, how *ever* will we write for it?" & I'm thinking of all the Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Warhammer, Marvel + DC writers I know just pointing & laughing.

M'colleague Graham's new graphic novel project goes live on Kickstarter today - check it out, it will be epic!

I did some of my earliest pro writing in features + reviews for Star Wars: The Official Magazine back in the late '90s, most memorably going out to visit Industrial Light & Magic to interview the team on their work for the Special Editions - it's a shame to see this great run ending.

So I finished out the last episode of the #StarTrek Khan audio drama today... It's great stuff! Kudos to m'colleagues Kirsten Beyer & @davidmack.bsky.social, to @finalrune.com & all the production team for proving something I've been saying for years - that the #StarTrek saga can thrive in audio!
