NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

A new little entry, from me 'The Well of Unhappiness' (6 mins only) for the Wonderful World of the Wickets. A nice introduction, I feel, to the magic -- but I would say that wouldn't I?Do have a listen, but do not drink! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOpO... #fantasy #audio

Delighted to post that I have a new story in the 'Reveries of Yore' fantasy series now available to listen to online. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK31... It's called 'The Sailor and the Sea Wicket' and there are others great stories there to listen to in this growing series too. #fantasy #wickets

Have you sampled the 'Reveries of Yore' yet? www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3rA... The rich landscape is brought to you by a number of talented writers all contributing to this world that 'Wicketgates' have helped sculpt. #fantasy #fantasyworld #FantasyAdventure. Listen now, and do remember to subscribe!

And here's another: www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3rA... audio #fantasy fun. Be ahead of the crowd! Listen now!

Some #fantasy shorts for your ears: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-fz... Here's one:

Set in the same world as 'Slow and the Wickets' this is a new listen for #fantasy fans on youtube. The Jester and any resemblance to anybody living or dead is purely coincidental -- honest! It's a lot shorter! www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3rA... and just as much fun!

I have been made aware that it might be a good idea to mention that this isn't for children -- not that it's rude or anything, just not children's fantasy. So pleased to hear it read aloud wonderfully by Laura Greavhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-fzOYr5md8es. #fantasy #audio

Absolutely delighted to share something new I have been contributing to: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-fz... . It's a #fantasy series set in a fascinating world defined by mysterious wicketgates. The lore and adventures will grow as diffrent authors contribute. Congratulations to originator Aaron!

A rather nice video created for the new 'Superheroes Musical' I have written with Ben Durkin. This is for C Thru Girl and it's rather lovely: vimeo.com/1116715387?f... #musicaltheatre #animation #superherpmusical

We've got a new song to listen to! Whoop! It's from a new musical WIP, but we think it stands up pretty well as is. Enjoy! open.spotify.com/track/0NllxH... #musicaltheatre #superheroes

This seemed worth another air! nicelystrongoak.com/2017/05/12/p...

No PR and all that hooha at Edinburgh Fringe so my shows may sink without a trace - I feel in a strange hinterland now and hope some of you may be able to make it

Hello sexy, here’s the first song off my new album, why not share it? Likes are nice but sharing’s better. By the way, I didn’t call you sexy just to try to get you to share this, I really do think you are sexy. youtu.be/m5GF5XJfvKQ

He's noy lying. It really is very good.

Here’s another song from the new album. Hear it. See it. Buy it. Share it. Say it. Sorted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw7d...

I made a book, a very tiny book. On vintage paper with watercolour illustrations and a nonsense verse. If anyone wants to publish it for me I would be overjoyed. This is just a rough to see how it works out

I was once a scientist and then I started writing comedy, and then plays, and then films, and then musicals and books. Probably more than anything, certainly more than the science, I get asked about writing comedy. So, I wrote this about it: nicelystrongoak.com/2016/05/27/m... #comedy #science

Very stable genius

It seems we got this one for our script 'Time Will Tell' just in time (ha!) for Coverfly to close up shop. #scriptwriting #animation

I was writing some notes about comedy writing, which I did once teach (more fun than I expected) and then I remembered this post that I had written: nicelystrongoak.com/2016/12/02/w... It was actually quite useful! #comedywriting #humour

it's my birthday today! 🌹 I'd be grateful if you shared my art as a gift to me 🫶

It most certainly is, and we need more of it - always.

Happy Pride Month~ #Ally

I am helping with some rhymes for children, which is something I enjoy a lot. It reminded me of this lovely book that I wrote and the fun illustrations (which I didn't draw!). I do believe it is still available - should there be young people in your life. nicelystrongoak.com/2018/04/08/w...

I was in one of these lines.

As has been noticed by others, the irony of Meta happily stealing millions of authors’ words but refusing to open the door to have a letter delivered - will Lisa Nandy or Chris Bryant stand up for British artists or turn their eyes and kiss a corporate ring
