Hey @pgbellwriter.bsky.social, look what I have!

Close to $100 billion dollars trying to build Second Life again.

It was wonderful having everyone here with Karin Mear today! Her next workshop on April 18th has spaces available, you can book your space here! www.ticketsource.co.uk/pontypridd-a...

Daleks are also Welsh, fwiw. Pit us in charge of all the money.

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

Hello, my middle grade novel The Unfinished Business came out last week. I worked really hard on it, and I hope you'll check it out! It's available wherever you get your books.

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

Thanks all who bought my ebooks on Kindle during the World Book Day week offer. It means a lot, and I really hope you enjoy them 😊 The offer (99p/99c each) ends tonight, and it’d be great if you fancy giving them a go. Many thanks! Pls share 😊 Ian x #books #kindle #childrensbooks #worldbookday

Bristol bound for another day of workshops with young writers.

I had an amazing three days visiting schools in Enfield, with back-to-back author talks and story-building workshops. Met hundreds of super enthusiastic and imaginative kids, who really threw themselves into it. Happy World Book Day! #KidLit #KidLitUK

We have ghosts!! The Unfinished Business is now in shops, libraries, or wherever else you get your books today! Happy reading, friends! www.amazon.com/dp/1646036751 bookshop.org/a/975/978164...

Sickening. This is a betrayal of every screenwriter, playwright, poet and novelist in the UK. We’ve had copyright laws since around 1710 and they intend to upend all of that to help feed billionaire tech companies. 😡 #ScriptSkyUK #ScriptSky #WritingCommunity

I emailed my (Labour) MP, @annamcmorrin.bsky.social about this last year, got no reply, and she's consistently voted to let international tech companies steal my work for their own profit. Now the government seems willing to ignore the results of its own consultation.

This - after a public consultation that came down c95% against corporate copyright theft - is a hearty move towards this government’s spineless purchased representatives needing to be hoofed in the crotch by us all, in a big queue until they get the message.

I'm touring schools for World Book Day all this week, and the first stop is Enfield. So here, as is tradition, is the view from a travelling author's hotel window. #KidLit #KidLitUK

Me again, talking about my ghostly middle grade novel The Unfinished Business. It's out in two weeks, and it would mean a lot if you wanted to help spread the word! Bookshop: bookshop.org/a/975/978164... Zon: www.amazon.com/dp/1646036751

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I've said it before but it's worth saying again; Murder for Dummies is the sort of comedy that BBC 2 used to do so well. Shades of League of Gentlemen and Psychoville. Dark, silly, but played dead straight.

Rob Grant. I can’t believe it. All love and respect to his family. Half of the team that showed teenage me how ambitious sitcom storytelling could be - so well that I made it a career. I rewatched Red Dwarf: Terrorform tonight. Because it always felt to me like an especially Robbish episode.

Gutting. I recently started watching Red Dwarf with my youngest, and was looking forward to the new novel. RIP, Rob, and thanks for all the laughs.

thought you probably needed to see this

Six more days! It's about a girl who inherits a business called The Unfinished Business, and is then tasked with finishing the unfinished business of the late, ghostly owner of The Unfinished Business. It's very whimsical and (I think) very charming.

Was thinking of The Owl House just the other day, and it's good to see there are new stories on the way.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Some BTS shots I got yesterday on the set of Gwrach Y Rhibyn (Ribbon Witch), a Welsh folklore horror short by Peacock Media, for the @fearscreen.com festival! I seem to have a thing for being covered in blood!

This is the Gov looking for your input on the BBC. It takes a while to complete (15/20 mins) but it’s pretty comprehensive and covers most aspects. Please share. I’m surprised many people haven’t seen it yet. www.gov.uk/government/c...

God, I love Red Dwarf. As well as a pin-sharp about all aspects of masculinity it's also full of incredible, daft as fuck high concept scifi that's just a bit too out there for a straight genre show, so it plays with stuff you'd only see elsewhere in pulp mags and comics from the mid-20th century

Finally got our Wii U un-bricked last week, so Sports Resort and Nintendoland are both back on the menu.

I’m going to try and post every day until I get a World Book Day booking, let’s see if it works! I am a children’s author with ADHD who LOVES doing super energetic events. If you haven’t got a writer for World Book Day for you school, please get in touch as I’m happy to travel all over for events.

This is one of the most brutal, disturbing and utterly compelling horror novels I've read. The fact that it's YA is almost beside the point. If you've not picked it up yet, do yourself a favour and get hold of a copy. It's absolutely terrific.

A few more weeks until THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS starts haunting shelves! It's a charming middle grade novel about a girl who inherits a very strange shop called The Unfinished Business...and is then tasked with handling the late, ghostly owner's unfinished business. bookshop.org/a/975/978164...
