Lisa Frankenstein is INCREDIBLE. A gross, camp love story for the ages. Like Ginger Snaps falling for Edward Scissorhands with a little sprinkle of Frankenhooker and The Craft. But with more hair. #filmsky

Just to confirm: all our books are 100% LLM-free, at every stage of the writing, editing, design/production and marketing process We are a 100% LLM-free publisher. It's in our contracts Any alternative is repugnant

It’s cold and the US is acting up again. Must be January.

Lying in bed under 4 blankets, in a dressing gown, laptop balanced on my chest: I am such a productive businessman. Go me.

I’ve always wanted to go to Mongolia but now I REALLY want to go to Mongolia. I grew up riding horses (admittedly in the desert) and do semi-regular archery. I have two longbows. I’d love it there. This is such a fun spin off from Physical Asia.

Seriously get this book. I loved it and it has been my mind since then. In my opinion there should be more blood and dismembered organs.

Going viral on TikTok brings out the most hilarious gender-confused comments. Stop calling me ‘sis’ and ‘girly’, I have a MOUSTACHE. It’s a fluff moustache that a 14 year old would be proud of, but it’s there! The people who think I’m a man with a weirdly high voice make me laugh even more.

Partner is playing The Walking Dead. I look up and there’s a Disco Broccoli?! I love broccoli.

Exciting author stuff is happening! It all still feels so surreal. My incredible sibling Joma West has always been the writer of the family, not me. Now they’re holding my hand through every stage of the process and laughing when I proclaim “this is HARD.”

I just hit 15k followers on TikTok! I’m very excited. I’ve been diversifying my content recently, talking about movies and tv shows (admittedly mostly kdrama), but it still very much remains a book account. 📚💙 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚🏳️‍⚧️

My favourite response from a beta reader so far, reading my queer dystopian horror novella: “You OK hun?” #writing #writingsky

I spend hours making thoughtful TikTok videos about books that get barely any views. Then I go semi viral talking about a hot Chinese man walking down a catwalk at a concert. While in my pyjamas. Admittedly he looked VERY cool. But still.

Just finished this martial arts sci fi fantasy book and OH MY GOD. So, so good. About a world where wars are fought through single MMA combat, and one boy rises through the ranks of the fighters. I was shocked by the reveals at the end. This is book 1, I’m so happy the series is complete. 📚💙

There’s gonna be yet another wave of refugees from Venezuela to Trinidad now and it never goes well.

Ooo Solasta 2 and Mixtape look so good! #gaming

I’m looking for horror / dystopian / sci-fi book cover artists! I’m particularly interested in queer, BIPOC, or disabled artists. Feel free to drop recommendations, links, examples and so on. I’m not actively commissioning right now, just researching for the (hopefully near) future! #writing #art

Just finished this adorable Japanese BL show on Tubi. It was verrry cute, but I couldn’t get over the fact that one boy looked and acted like he was TWELVE even though the character was 17 & the actor was an adult. I do enjoy a ‘tiny panic goblin x tall stoic yearner’ pairing though. #bl #jbl

I’ve made a list of all the free Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Filipino shows/movies I could find on Tubi. Tubi also has tons of Japanese boy love shows for some reason! Does anyone know of any of these are good? The only one I’ve heard of already is Candy Colour Paradox. #bl #jbl #kdrama

Just posted a TikTok about my top ten queer movies of the year. It’s not getting as many views as usual, which happens when I forget to censor words like ‘queer’. Double checked - I did censor ‘queer’, but totally forgot to change the title of the first movie: LESBIAN SPACE PRINCESS. Oops. #filmsky

Just filled out a 32 page document, and attached 17 clinical letters, in order to reapply for disability benefit, of which I currently receive the lowest possible amount. I hate this system. My head hurts so much. #disability

Tradwife is one of my top reads from last year, and has just been suppressed by Amazon. Please support this awesome indie book. I’m SO frustrated on TC’s behalf. The book isn’t even extreme horror. It’s a brilliant fictional true crime murder mystery about a Tradwife cult. 📚💙 📚🏳️‍🌈

This year I resolve to hate GenAI with even more vitriol than last year.

My upstairs neighbour really loves to vacuum her house and rearrange all her furniture at 2am. I can tell because she only does this on weekends and during festive periods. She’s been doing it now for 10 days straight. I am very happy she has time off, but could she please celebrate ANY other way.

10th rewatch of Plunkett & McLeane (1999) and it gets queerer every time. Alan Cumming is a fabulous bisexual icon and Liv Tyler gets more boyish as the film goes on. And I don’t care what anyone says, Plunkett & McLeane are hot for each other. #filmsky

Last night we rang in the new year by going to see some beautiful Christmas lights, having way too many marshmallow hot chocolates, going home to watch the Angel puppet episode, then eating 12 grapes while watching fireworks from the window. It was silly and perfect. Happy New Year everyone!

My upcoming novel releases October 2026 from Nefarious Bat! So excited for this one to come out.

It’s 4.30am and I just wrote a short story about a transmasc archer and his partner, a non-binary rebel leader with chronic fatigue, protecting a queer community from an evil feral force. Which is great and everything, but I would really really prefer if this kind of thing happened at, say, 1pm.

This is such a bizarre photo and I kind of love it

I wrote a book! I’ve finished ‘projects’ before, but never got to the point where I thought, “yes, this works, it’s finished and I’m truly happy with it.” It’s sad and scary and weird and queer and it’s mine. I wrote a book!

Dear bluskeeters! I'm doing research with a friend. If you're a Black Author with a speculative book publishing in 2026, could you please pitch and link me, please? This a difficult to sus intersection. Please add your friends' work. Please tag people. Please share

Please ignore all the typos you may see in my skeets. I promise, my actual writing is edited. It makes grammatical sense. It is, dare I say it, occasionally eloquent. But I am a hot, typo-heavy mess on this app and that’s unlikely to change.

Today I did my taxes AND filmed five ‘top ten’ TikToks. Hell yeah. I’m gonna celebrate with gay Japanese TV shows and mochi.

Having a someone say this about my writing makes me so happy! From a writer I really admire too. It’s surreal. Can’t wait to get my dark, queer, dystopian stories out into the world. 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚💙 #writingsky

Had pancakes this morning and then went to the arcade, the used DVD shop, the Japanese stationery store, the budget bookshop, and the Asian supermarket. All my favourite places! Also can the UK soft drink industry please step up its creative design. Just look at this beauty.

I don’t know what it is about Thai boy love shows, they keep making me cry! So many plots feature gays being supported by everyone around them, building beautiful families 😭 Naughty Babe dragged a bit in the middle, but the main couple are wonderful. The way Max looks at Nat! #bl #thaibl

This was the CUTEST show I watched this year! A girl asks a crossdresser to help her become more feminine. As they become friends, the crossdresser develops a secret crush on her. Loved loved loved the genderfluid/crossdressing rep! #jdrama

- Wrote a dystopian horror novella - Launched a Bindery newsletter - Launched a discord and book club - Clawed myself back from financial ruin - Went to tons of theatre & gigs despite chronic illness - Travelled to Scotland & Netherlands despite chronic illness - Supported lots of authors!

Disheartening to see so many people recieving gifts with some GenAI slop on them/ commissions that turned out to be GenAi. Heartening to see how angry folks are over it. It's such a scam. #fuckai May 2026 be the year that bubble burst and we all make a bigger push to see human-made art.

And now here comes the massive emotional/physical crash that follows my busiest work period of the year, a trip to Scotland, and a drama-free Christmas (but with the underlying fear of disaster cos Christmas is traditionally traumatic). All with chronic illness. I’m a sofa-bound, BG3-playing mess.

Alternative Christmas movie marathon continues with Black Christmas (1974). A classic slasher horror set in a sorority, silly and fun. You can see how influential it has been, so many tropes seem to originate from it! One or two lines have not aged well, but otherwise I had a good time. #filmsky

This was really fun! Perfect for fans of Baz Luhrmann’s Strictly Ballroom, one of my favourite comfort movies. The plot was a bit basic, but who cares when it’s two hot Japanese men ballroom dancing and getting topless at every opportunity. #filmsky #bl

Happy Holidays to all, especially those for whom today is hard, for any reason. The media likes to tell us that this time of year *should* be a certain way. But that’s not true. Tons of people have alternative family setups, things they’re going through, etc. Do what brings *you* joy. Much love ❤️

I had a brilliant sibling Christmas in Scotland this past weekend, and a beautiful partner Christmas today, and now I am done Christmasing. Hooray! It was a good decision to do it all earlier to take the pressure off tomorrow. Having a good time at Christmas is still a novelty to me. I’m happy.
