Play... sing... Don't look at the wine... Don't think about alllllll that wine behind you. Wine. Oh! Wine! Forget all that lovely wine! SO MUCH BLOODY LOVELY BLOODY WINE...! And the song is called 'Take What You Want' 🤯

I am being interviewed by @cbnnetwork.bsky.social as part of a day of events for those interested in children’s publishing. There are portfolio sessions and workshops - a rare opportunity in the North to have so many experts on hand. Grimm & Co, Rotherham. Tickets on Eventbrite. 29th November ✍️🎨

On my way to a school event my tyre blew on the M40. Standing on the hard shoulder as the artics thundered by, I considered the state of the tyre. 'The task is not impossible,' Optimism cried. 'Maybe you can do it!' 'Possibly,' said Realism hesitantly, 'if by "do it" you mean "call the AA".'

Excited that my new book got into this Waterstones promotion. 25% off til midnight tonight. www.waterstones.com/book/new-you...

The Astrosaurs and I were on BBC Look East last night! A sweet report on the Milton Keynes Literary Festival.

Basil nails it, as he so often does...

This book by @stevecolewriter.bsky.social and @paulmagrs.bsky.social reimagines #DoctorWho stories. Not traditional “novelisation” versions; each of 22 tales offers unexpected, delightful new insights and perspectives on moments and characters from the show. www.penguin.co.uk/books/470292...

🤖NEW EPISODE!🤖 We chat to the fab @unamccormack.bsky.social about writing her first Target novelisation, with #DoctorWho - The Robot Revolution. Featuring MC @stevecolewriter.bsky.social and guest vocals from Varada Sethu. soundcloud.com/powerof3pod/...

It’s a lovely surprise when Louise Jameson and Dan Starkey join in!

Honestly, the research I have to do for these Astrosaurs books... Fun with old friends at the Beyond the Stars exhibition at Discover Bucks Museum in Aylesbury. Run finishes early October!

Attention all reviewers! NEW YOU FOR EVER by @stevecolewriter.bsky.social is now available to request on NetGalley. A gripping dystopian thriller about the development of artificial emotional intelligence that questions what it means to be human. Request at: netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book...

Published this Thursday by Penguin Books! 'Doctor Who - 1001 Nights in Time and Space' - with illustrations by me.

Paul should have done the audiobook too! I love his voice, both in the words and saying them. The book's out on Thursday.

Having my son help me write the new Astrosaurs graphic novel has been a lot of fun. Those revamped dinosaurs land at a bookshop near you TODAY! (Carnage two seconds later as dog pounced not pictured)

Watching myself on video, I find the idea of swapping my body for an artificial replica that doesn't age is actually quite appealing!

A hand-made poster on the quayside in Prague. I love translation apps.

PARTY LIKE IT'S 1998! I wrote a Fitz thing in this charity anthology which Steve Cole was kind enough to top off with lyrics. Buy the ebook here!: obversebooks.co.uk/product/part... #DoctorWho #Whooverville #8thDoctor #EDAs #FitzKreiner @stevecolewriter.bsky.social

Storm over Prague ❤️

First copies of THIS have just arrived in the post!So much fun to work with @stevecolewriter.bsky.social @anghelides.bsky.social and penguin books

This was a treat to work on. @paulmagrs.bsky.social and I looked to tell aspects of the TV stories from unusual perspectives. With @anghelides.bsky.social editing it was like Doctor Who should always be – having fun with friends old and new. I only wish I could draw like Paul! It's out Sept 18th.

A #DoctorWho book that I edited arrived in the post. Looks gorgeous! And so is the writing by @stevecolewriter.bsky.social and @paulmagrs.bsky.social Paul also drew the wonderful internal illustrations. Published next month. Check out the first 30 pages for free: www.penguin.co.uk/books/470292...

open.spotify.com/track/2b5nr6... More sunny melancholia from my band! Wrote the song 25 years ago but it does have a gorgeous new trumpet solo from @garethpjones.bsky.social

I just watched Escape from New York AND Escape from LA for the first time. Send help

Up in Beverley for library events and found haul of 80s 200ADs in the charity shop. Proper Proustian rush of discovery!

There comes a time in everyone's life when they must seek out the filming locations for Inferno. Thus, @jasonloborik.bsky.social and I journeyed to Kent's Kingsnorth Industrial Estate and learned that only this small building, driven past by Bessie in ep 1, still survives. No gasometers. Rubbish!

Excellent news for Target Doctor Who fans @jennycolgan.bsky.social @josephlidster.bsky.social @stevecolewriter.bsky.social @anghelides.bsky.social scifibulletin.com/2025/07/20/n...

🚨NEW EPISODE!🚨 What happens when an idea for a #DoctorWho novel is reworked with another publisher? We learn about the origins and writing of Matrix, with co-writer Mike Tucker and editor @stevecolewriter.bsky.social . soundcloud.com/powerof3pod/...

Played a covers set in the heat at Berkhamsted Beer Fest last night. Closed on Love Will Tear Us Apart (but the sweat held us together)

🚨NEW EPISODE!🚨 Here's something for the weekend. We look at another of the latest #DoctorWho novels featuring the 15th Doctor and Belinda. Editor @stevecolewriter.bsky.social and writer Hannah Fergesen join us. on.soundcloud.com/RC3qzMnNQ9WG...

🚨🚨NEW EPISODE!🚨🚨 We look at the second Seventh Doctor novel from BBC Books, The Hollow Men, and are joined by editor @stevecolewriter.bsky.social and co-author Martin Day. soundcloud.com/powerof3pod/...

Join me as I put-on my editor's cap to discuss the unrelenting mercy of the modern Doctor Who novelisations.

New Target Doctor Who novelisations wot I edited! You’ll need just 5.4cm of shelf space for fresh trips in time and space.

60 years ago, Maureen O'Brien was playing Vicki in Doctor Who – and she's still involved today, most recently reading stories for the audio version of my book with @paulmagrs.bsky.social '1001 Nights in Time and Space', out in September. A treat to meet her and a treat to listen in!

I really regret buying a Sad Daddy scrub thing. The regular Scrub Daddy looked too happy to be where he was, it felt like abuse. But the Sad Daddy has turned washing up, already a rubbish experience, into a poignant and slightly distressing one. Especially when air fryers are involved.

Do you mind if I post a link to my band's new release? I'm hoping other procrastinators will relate to the lyrics. Or at least take the chance to procrastinate in attempting to. open.spotify.com/track/0CCz53...

I’ve been taking a loved one into hospital for daily radiotherapy. There’s a jigsaw in the waiting room and each day I see how it’s progressed and add a few more pieces. All these strangers working together, and each day the jigsaw nudges closer to being made whole. I find it oddly moving.

🚨NEW EPISODE!🚨 We look at Last Man Running, and feature the memories of editor @stevecolewriter.bsky.social. on.soundcloud.com/y4bBGJMGZqFM...

I'm doing a children's author talk for @fourbearsbooks.bsky.social Festival in Reading this Saturday! 2.30pm on 17th May at Caversham Baptist Church. So no need to send prayers. www.fourbearsbooks.co.uk/event-detail...

I love that Doctor Who is a shared universe across its tie-ins. We referenced the Lucky Day episode almost a year ahead of transmission with this mention in the novel CAGED from @unamccormack.bsky.social and name-checked Think Tank in last November's in-world UNIT dossier The Gold Archive

Hope everyone enjoys tonight’s Doctor Who. It was a particular pleasure to work on the novelisation by @gossjam.bsky.social. Truly taking Target into new territory!
