This crazy sci fi noir crime thriller is out today in the UK and I can't wait for you all to read it! Available in hardback, ebook, and audio from all reputable retailers (and probably some disreputable ones too!) If you can, support your local indie!

Yay! The Shape of Monsters has been shortlisted for a Speakie (audio book award) 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Definitely helps that voice actor Omari Douglas is fantastic www.thebookseller.com/british-audi...

Sobering and heartbreaking writing

Here's my winning pitch from @bloodyscotland.bsky.social (still seems mad saying that!) Sinners meets the gothic unease of Don’t Look Now with the broken investigators of True Detective. At its heart, it's not just about a monster that may destroy a city, but the trauma that can destroy a man.

Post a mage! ✨

I'll be appearing on BBC Radio Scotland on The Arts Mix with @lenniesaurus.bsky.social this afternoon, from 3.30pm (not sure precisely what time) - tune in live or via iPlayer www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Went for a run during a downpour, sky went proper gay - good for her 🌈

Look to my coming, at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the east.

A few months ago my friend asked me draw on her dart board and in return she would repair the crotch rips in my favourite jeans (werewolf problems) I really enjoyed it and want to do more stuff like this
