One failsafe way to distract from your friendship with a sex criminal is to call for the execution of opposition politicians. That and say the swastika is basically misunderstood.

Blackbird Static has a new track out today. A Lullaby for the End of the Year is a soft, slightly haunted song for the long nights. It’s live on Spotify now if you fancy something calm and bittersweet. open.spotify.com/track/5MgF4I...

I use email a lot. But the Epstein people make me look like an absolute beginner. Did they have a thing about needing to be sure every single thought was in writing? Did nobody ever tell them about phones?

Although working on writing something new, am being pulled hard into rewriting my debut book from 20 years ago. Feel I'm a different writer now and could right the wrongs. It sold well, but it's never felt good enough to me...

So thrilled to have been the lucky winner of the 2025 LGBT Genre Page Turner Award for 'Rainbows and Lollipops'. It's on offer for just under two of your British quids for a while. books2read.com/rainbows

36 kilos of Labrador literally try to sit on my head for four hours now. #Fireworks

Not long to Christmas now.... youtu.be/hYfe4YUZFIc?...

We tried something different. It sort of works... right? soundcloud.com/blackbirdsta...

Between us, 'the gays' have turned toxic masculinity into a product we sell ourselves. Policing each other harder than our oppressors ever could. open.substack.com/pub/mofannin...

I'm not sure anyone cares as much about The Royal Formerly Known as Prince as the British media thinks. But kudos to The Guardian for finding such an unflattering photo and pinning it to their front page for the third day running.

Morning campers Another #spookyseason reading for #Halloween week - this from my #thriller #WhatWeDidintheStorm ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️-

It's a big day here. We got the big sealed bag of jumpers out of the attic. The tshirts are leaving the bedroom until next year.

U OK, hun?

When not writing books, I help out when this lot get busy... on.soundcloud.com/2aqWdyaMVUJQ...

It's Monday. You deserve a treat. I'm a very cheap treat. And... books2read.com/ghostedromcom

There's one day left to win my Christmas package

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

I'm giving my words away again. Book and a whole box of seasonal stuff. (Regret this is a UK only thing) kingsumo.com/g/1yp9el1/gh...

Today I'm hosting workshops in a hotel conference suite. People watching. Businesses have a weird old fashioned hierarchy still. Lots of 'Can we just go in?' and 'John's on a call so we have to wait outside.'

Javier Milei has an air of Royston Vasey about him.

Some rather close friends have this out today... open.spotify.com/album/6axUnS...

Happy Birthday to this rather lovely wordsmith. You could make his day by adding him to your TBR list...

I'm convinced I have the slowest floor tiling guy in the known world working in my kitchen. He keeps refusing cups of tea/coffee(and my game is high in this regard) and won't commit to finishing by Friday. have considered lying about leaving for foreign parts at weekend.

"Would you spend Christmas on a cruise ship?" Poll options: Absolutely! / Not a chance! #GhostedNovel #CruiseLife #ReadersPoll

If you hadn't noticed, we're back up and running bitches.... oneurope.co.uk will work without trying to sell you any Japanese car parts and will redirect you to oneurope.net. Literally the same shit, just in a brand new home. #eurovision

Try asking Alexa 'what's on TV tonight'. It's tremendous. In a bad way.

I'm just going to say it. I can't abide 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. To the extent, I will leave any room/venue when I hear it start. Or have the sort of tantrum that gets it muted. That and 'London's Burning'.

Halloween used to mean carving a swede. Now it’s plastic bats, inflatable ghosts, and neighbours turning their house into a low-rent nightclub. I’ve written about it in my new It’s a Thing series — and yes, my novel Ghosted makes a cameo. open.substack.com/pub/mofannin...

It says more about our media and the world in general that this RARE good news story feels oddly out of place. Call it a timeline cleanse if you must, but shouldn't be post about and celebrate this more than the less life-affirming shite? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I've just been handed the keys to my WAY simpler to maintain website. It's a lot less bother mofanning.co.uk

I done a podcast.... books, books, books etc selfpublishingadvice.org/podcast-insp...

Filled two bin bags with junk from my office. Started building new website defrosted and microwaved meal. Now have thurd degree burns in mouth. Didn't write and am ashamed. feel tomorrow will be a plotting period

Probably one of the best-argued takes on the current state of the Eurovision Song Contest under current management. youtu.be/THgn1w7Lzvo?...

Just finished 'The Institute'. Brilliant TV. Clockwork Orange meets Handmaids Tale meets Stranger Things. Few Stephen King flinch-behind-a-cushion moments. Season 2 confirmed. And nothing to do with any blacklisted Disney/ABC networks. This is MGM. Can recommend.

this exists it is called thinking

Bought a plant, washed the floor, made dinner, avoided a neighbour. Wrote too little. Worried too much.

New Substack: Tech giants are profiting from stolen stories. Writers shouldn’t be free raw material. How I received death threats when I posted ads for my last book. mofanning.substack.com/p/tech-giant...

I was doing just fine until I got the Ocado 'nearly time to book your Christmas delivery slot' email, with it's 'be warned, they run out fast' line. Now I'm back to Factor 15. Which is still (sort of) good, this time last week I was on 27.
