"In a world of undercutting and Amazon dynamic pricing, let’s not constantly promote sales of our books and creative outputs. Let’s price up, because we chronically undervalue ourselves as creatives anyway." open.substack.com/pub/flyonthe...

Go on then 'As the saying goes, we may all be facing the same storm, but some of us are doing in so yachts, others in rubber dinghies and some fighting for a pair of waterwings.' - T.O. Munro, Fantasy Hive www.amazon.co.uk/Water-That-M...

"Hrafnablótsjökul cracks open one eye, but her icicle-dry eyelashes are meshed together. The moon is high and the air is swollen. Frost melts between her metatarsals, tickles its way down to the sea..." Excerpt today @amylilwall.bsky.social The Water That May Come open.substack.com/pub/flyonthe...

Marvelous afternoon in Frodsham at The Curious Cat Bookshop, yesterday. What a smashing place! Owner and bouncer, Crackers the cat, was in fine form and his lovely humans laid on quite a feast! I have concluded that books + afternoon tea = pure joy ✨️☕️🐈🍰📚

Cats and books and afternoon tea! Find all of these things at The Curious Cat Bookshop in Frodsham tomorrow, Sunday 12th October, at 4pm ☕️🐈📚✨️ thecuriouscatbookshop.co.uk/product/amy-...

Wow, how lovely to receive a lovely review! 🥹 Thank you @loubookmarks.bsky.social for your time and your kind words 💙📚🌊

Not one but TWO books in the window at lovely long-established Lincoln bookshop, Lindum Books. And next to @richardosman1.bsky.social, no less! My cup runneth properly over, this week. Wishing all the writers here the same happiness 📚💙

Launch party yesterday of The Water That May Come (with cupcakes) at the wonderful Lark Books Lincoln, with the awesome Rob Weston. We talked immigration, inspiration, intimacy and, er, volcanoes... Wonderful turnout! Am feeling very blessed 📚💙

PUBLICATION DAY! 🥳 To celebrate, I've made a little video of an extract from The Water That May Come. My character, Jane, is driving up to Scotland to flee the pending natural disaster. Here, she realises the power of the kindness of strangers 💙📚✨️ Massive thanks to @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social

Oh, that feeling when you see something you made (while hunched pyjama-clad over a laptop for weeks on end) for sale in an actual SHOP! My chuffed-o-meter has reached new levels thanks to @waterstones.bsky.social , Lincoln 💙📚

'Jane drives them to their first port of call, a cattery up by Northfleet, where a wrong turn leads them to a still, dark line of Eurostar trains. WELCOME TO DISNEYLAND KENT is graffitied on one of the carraiges in a long, orange sqiggle.' www.flyonthewallpress.co.uk/product-page...

Eek! One week to go! 💙📚

Cli-fi and sci-fi and worldbuilding today with novelist @amylilwall.bsky.social! open.substack.com/pub/flyonthe... #books💙📚

Me: 'Fairy Godmother, I'd like to have afternoon tea on the 12th October at 3pm.' FG: 'Well that sounds simple enough...' Me: 'Could it be in a bookshop?' FG: 'Absolutely!' Me: 'Oo, and can you throw in a cat?' FG: 🪄✨️ Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!' ✨️ thecuriouscatbookshop.co.uk/product/amy-...

TWO WEEKS until The Water That May Come bobs up to the surface, arrives on a publishing wave, makes its splashy entrance, ALL the water metaphores! 🌊I'm a bit nervous, I must admit... (That's normal, right?) 💙📚 www.flyonthewallpress.co.uk/product-page...

Really lovely to discuss The Water That May Come with the excellent @samszanto.bsky.social 💙📚

Really excited that @amylilwall.bsky.social will be launching the emotive novel 'The Water That May Come' at #larkbooks #lincolnbookfestival Friday, 3rd October 7:00pm lincolnbookfestival.org/festival-pro... @inpressbooks.bsky.social

Publication date is coming! 😮 I'll be at Lincoln's lovely Lark Books where my friend and fellow writer, Robert Weston, will be interviewing me about my book. (Really hope he likes it, otherwise things could get very awkward...). Join us and find out! 💙📚✨️ lincolnbookfestival.org/festival-pro...

Packaging up subscriber preorders for The Water That May Come today 🥰🥰 @amylilwall.bsky.social

First book club! 14th October, 7pm, grab a cuppa and a copy of 'The Wager and the Bear' and come discuss this life-affirming journey, from Cornwall to the Greenland glaciers, with fellow book lovers and author @johnironmonger.bsky.social himself! fly-on-the-wall-press.eventcube.io/events/87893...

I'm on the front cover of something! This has never happened in the history of me!! 😀 As part of Lincoln Book Festival, I'll be launching The Water That May Come at Lark Books on the 3rd October from 7pm at the wonderful Lark Books. If you're in the area, please pop in and say hi. 😊✨️📘

Oooo the books (complete with their EDGES) have arrived! 📚 Thank you @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social; they are beautiful! ✨️

Happy publication day, @rgrosvenorauthor.bsky.social, for the fabulous Witch Borne ✨️

Very inspired by parambulating poet John Welsh at Lincoln Steampunk Festival this week 🦾✨️🦄 'Leather, lace and parrots every punk uniquely dressed as unalike as peas and carrots.' Never a truer word spoken (apparently, there were parrots!).

On the day Nigel Farage spouts off about mass deportations, @amylilwall.bsky.social asks a very different question. Who gets the chance at safe asylum in Europe when it's the people of the UK at risk from the flood? Turn the political diatribes on their head. Who would you choose to save? 💙📚

Imagine a scenario where Brits need to escape UK as sea levels rise & threaten. Turn the Farage diatribe on its head. Where are WE going to escape to? Europe? Would they have us? What would the criteria be for admission? Imagine no further - @amylilwall.bsky.social has done it for you. Out Oct 25 💙📚

August bank holiday in Lincoln means one thing: The Steampunk Parade! Nothing warms the heart quite like a collaborative commitment to mass silliness. Thank you to all the participants; you are properly fabulous ✨️🧚‍♂️

UPDATE ON THE INKED EDGES!! My wonderful editor at @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social has opted for birds and sky (sneak peek below). Not sure what I have done to deserve this but I am GIDDY with excitement 😄✨️ AND you can pre-order via the link in comments (the whole book, not just the edges) 📘

Look at this beautiful old printing press (displayed at The Museum of Lincolnshire Life). It's amazing to think that this is how printed stories made it into readers' hands, minds and hearts. 📚✨️

Went to an EPIC wedding in Prešov this month. Slovakia is my home from home. (In fact, as a landlocked country, it appears in The Water That May Come as a place of refuge.) If you ever visit this amazing country, crash a wedding, dance 'til morning; find your refuge in a never-ending pile of cake ✨️🇸🇰

Today, T.O Munro reviews Amy Lilwall's cli-fi novel THE WATER THAT MAY COME: "a sharply focused interrogation of the disparities of wealth and privilege in times of crisis" Read more: tinyurl.com/2zvhyax7 @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social @amylilwall.bsky.social

THRILLED to have the opportunity to read @ecow0rrier.bsky.social 's recently-launched After the Clearances, a chillingly plausible imagined aftermath of our intensifying climate catastrophe. Find a spot by the sea, or in the woods, and feel the world differently as you peel back the pages 🌊🌲

Met a very young author at Newark Book Festival today. Take a look at Abigail Humphries' gorgeous book, Team Of 7, about superheroes! 🦸⚡️ I particularly love the dedication; it's proof, in my opinion, that kids + books = marvelous things ✨️

Are you in Newark on Sunday for Newark Book Festival? Are you aged 9 or over? Do you love writing? You're in luck! I'll be running a 'Writing The World' walking and writing workshop through Newark's town centre and green spaces🚶📝✨️ More info here ⬇️ www.newarkbookfestival.org.uk/event/writin...

Proofs have now been released into the wild 🤓📚✨️

I'M HOLDING IT IN MY VERY HANDS! First proof copy of TWTMC! Eeek! What a moment for a writer 🥹. My excitement is apparent in the rudimentarily styled pics below; it seems that creativity knows no bounds (I quite like the plants). Thank you @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social ❤️

Apparently, Nuneaton is the furthest point from any UK coast. For that very reason, my character, Gavin, buys a house there. Every time I pass the motorway sign, I think of him, so last week I decided to stop and look around. It really felt like I'd come to visit a friend... Is that weird? 🤔
