On what would have been a dear friend’s 51st birthday, please enjoy the short story in which I used his LRP character name for the protagonist as a tribute. GNU, Dudge. www.playdarktide.com/news/short-s...

Last week I had the pleasure of popping in to the Super Relaxed Fantasy Club (@srfantasyclub.bsky.social ) for a reading and a Q&A. Before that, I had to figure out the right pacing. You can now find the (no spoilers) alternate reading up on Youtube (link in reply).

The delight that is having a trailer for your latest book. I’d love people to give it a look - it was great fun to write and I’ve had several people tell me it was fun to read, too! youtu.be/_CaP7Sy9XVo?...

I really wanted to write ‘because Noddy wouldn’t pay the ransom’ under this sign. @nhm-london.bsky.social

The world is a smorgasbord of factoids.

At first glance, I thought these guys were just yelling at each other.

I have gone from sharing a train with the Infinite Sniff to one featuring a child who won’t stop clicking their tongue. They may be one of the Last of Us Zombies. Spare my sanity.

Still remains one of my favourite signs.

Well, just @ me next time.

The universe is the oddest of things. Seemingly out of nowhere today I realised that having deleted my Twitter account, I lost touch with a friend and wondered if I could find him on other socials. I couldn’t. But I just found out that his mother passed today.

I have just finished the story mode, no sidequest playthrough of 'Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden' and I can't speak highly enough of it. What a really, really good game that is. Now I get to play it through again and make some *other* choices and presumably get to see a different ending.

And so GBBO closes out for another year. It was the first year I’ve watched it uninterrupted because me dad would always ring every Tuesday, at 8.35pm on the dot because he knew it’d drive me crazy. I miss him so much.

Still playing my way through ‘Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden’. Three things that struck me last night: * I can’t play this game with headphones on - the music and ambient sounds border on terrifying at times;

There's close, and then there's Isiah Kiner-Falefa close.

In other news, Ernie Clement endlessly giving off over-excited puppy vibes is a mood I am here for.

Game 6 of the World Series tonight. I’m on tenterhooks waiting to see how Barger’s hair behaves. It may have peaked in Game 5, but I’m willing to take the risk of watching to see. #letsgobluejays

Today’s ‘about writing’ question I’ve had about ‘Thunder’s Edge: Echoes of Memory’. What was the hardest thing about writing this novel? Honestly? Having to write it in American English and thus spending the whole book worrying about extraneous instances of the letter ‘u’.

📣 Media Tie-In writers 📣 The Scribe Awards are now open! Eligibility is for works published from 3/1/25 through 2/28/26. Novels are 17,500 wordcount & above. Short Stories are anything fewer than that. An Audio Drama is not an audio book, it is a scripted drama written to be performed. Good luck!

I read somewhere earlier that close to 20 teams passed on Trey Lesavage. #letsgobluejays #bluejays #lightsupletsgo

Trey Yesavage may be the startling success story of the World Series, but what of that unsung MVP? Yes. Addison Barger’s hair.

I kind of love that there’s a YouTube trailer for my new book. It’s a first for me! youtu.be/_CaP7Sy9XVo?...

Nature is phenomenal.

I am currently playing 'Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden' and am *really* enjoying it. Yes, I'm playing on story mode, because I am a gaming wimp (and proud of it), but that means I get to really enjoy the story without getting grouchy over being utterly bollocks when it comes to boss fights.

This made me laugh. Delicately.

I was recently asked my favourite question about the stuff I wrote for Warhammer, so I’m repeating the answer here. The question is often asked in a variety of phrasing is: what’s the best thing about writing for Warhammer?

Eighteen innings! Lawks.

If anyone would like a sensuously queer male romance, with questions of family, identity and breaking free from expectation, then Children of Artifice is on audio, read by the fabulous Joe Jameson. Described as 'highly visual, totally absorbing and truly original'. www.amazon.co.uk/Children-of-...

*skreeee noises intensify* It’s arrived!

As is the law in this country when the clocks go back... "IT'S ONLY 5.20PM AND IT'S ALREADY DARK!"

I might be just a little bit in love with Addison Barger. #lightsupletgo @bluejays.com m.youtube.com/shorts/vZlQI...

Ash, doing their best to look like Batman @warframe.com

My re-enactment of tonight’s Celebrity Traitors Round Table. “I met a bloke in the freezer aisle at Lidl last week, I’ll vote for him.”

Thunder's Edge: Echoes of Memory by @skullqueen.bsky.social is out now! Thank you to @rubycosmos.bsky.social for the lovely words and tea recommendation! Read More Here: karadennison.blogspot.com/2025/10/book...

You guys, someone reviewed my new book and said the story was ‘competently told’ and I am PROUD. And apparently competent, which is probably a relief.

Following are three opening lines that dropped into my head at various times but which never evolved further. Which one would be your hook?

This.

Receiving author copies of your books is a thing that never gets old.

I am watching Riot Women. Everyone should watch Riot Women.

Been getting some super nice comments on my new novel - why not give it a shot?

I did an interview! paulsemel.com/exclusive-in...

A great article from FFG. www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2025...

Read the thrilling space opera tie-in novel to Twilight Imperium: Thunder’s Edge by @skullqueen.bsky.social, available now wherever you purchase books! books2read.com/TWIThundersE...

Well this is a lovely thing! karadennison.blogspot.com/2025/10/book...

I have been reminded of the time this happened out the front at work.

A re-post for the later crowd!

Happy book release day to me!

Also, this advert for badges just strolled by on my FB feed and I’ve never felt so called out.

New book day coming up! I have attempted to self promote but utterly fail with engagement. I wish I knew how to do it better. Anyway, if you’re after a bit of space opera/adventure/mystery then there’s always this! www.aconytebooks.com/shop/thunder...
