Hello to the recent batch of new followers. I've been traditionally published since 2015, below are all my completed fantasy series, and if you want more info you can join my monthly newsletter (although I'm taking Dec off, so back in Jan) and there's a link in my bio.

Enjoyed watching V for Vendetta again. Must be the fifth time I've seen it. The comic is better, of course, but that's almost always the way with adaptations.

Guess it's time to watch V for Vendetta then.

One of my favourite comic book runs of all time is The Spectre by John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake. The first omnibus is out now, collecting issues 1-30 from DC comics with a fantastic new cover from Mandrake and an intro from Ostrander.

READ IT. Please. The funnest book every month.

Back from World Fantasy convention Brighton. Voice is completely gone from talking so much but it was both energising to see so many people and exhausting. Back to my writing cave now to sit quietly and rest up.

Heading to Brighton this Thursday for World Fantasy Convention. I'll be there Friday to early Sunday and taking part in the group signing session on Friday night.

AI audio means publishers can choose to utterly screw over narrators (whose work no doubt went into training the AI) and insist on keeping as profit that 90% reduction in costs. Whoever decides to do this deserves all the abuse, even if its my employer www.thebookseller.com/news/ai-audi...

The full programme for World Fantasy Convention in Brighton at the end of this month is now available. worldfantasy2025.co.uk/programme/

This is the month that THE ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA releases (Oct 21st!) and I wanted to share that I have a number of UK events, including an event with VL Bovalino and Samantha Shannon at a church, which feels slightly bonkers: tashasuri.com/events/

For the entire month of October, The Warrior is on sale. My shortest pitch is The Wizard of Oz in the Upside Down. Four very different people go on a quest to a dark world that has been tainted.

Just got to the end of season 2 of The Change and I'm disappointed to hear that it's been cancelled and won't get a third and final season. Hoping it lands somewhere else to finish up but not holding my breath.

Who's ready for another sneak preview of one of our upcoming panels? The Fusion of Fiction and History with @philipchase90.bsky.social, @plstuart-author.bsky.social, @stephenaryan.bsky.social and @philspeculates.bsky.social will be up on Youtube at 3pm BST on 4th Oct. youtu.be/ISFxw2-hctA

I've been squinting so hard and focused on edits to the point where I gave myself a headache. Relaxing with High Potential and some painkillers.

The General Sale for the @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social special edition hardbacks of the Age of Darkness is now open thebrokenbindingsub.com/products/the...

Today's plan is to try and cut 5K in edits. If I manage 2K I'll be pleased.

Yep. Still apt today, after 6 films that were (mostly) boiled shite.

Still my favourite moment from Spaced. youtu.be/CUH9TDSO5es?...

Fuck. All. The. Way. Off.

I just discovered Batman: Dark Patterns, which is wrapping up. It was a series of mini-series by Dan Watters and Hayden Sherman. Admittedly it's Batman, so not a big stretch beyond the core characters, but I'd really like to see more of this kind of thing with other characters from the DC stable.

I never understood watching reaction videos until I saw people discovering Rage Against the Machine for the first time. That never gets old.

Pre-sale newsletters havs now begun sending out! 🔮 Double check your spam folders just in case. If not found, drop us an email in 24hrs 💚

As I've seen it come up, no, authors don't get paid for writing blurbs for other authors. We do it (mostly) to pay it forward and to bring attention to work we think is good. Also, if an editor/publisher tried to bribe me for a blurb, that email would go up here and on my personal site SO FAST

Just a wee reminder there are two fantastically funny fantasy books set in the same universe out (on Amazon), one is a hilarious Q&A with various fantasy characters, the other is a wickedly funny murder mystery. Go get them!

Playing Far Cry 5. Again. I think this is my third play through. It's definitely one of my favourite games. Ever.

#booksky #Esbjurg #FantasyFestival is an enormous Danish cultural success: this year the attendance is between 15,000 to 17,000 people 💙

Coming to Manchester this Sunday evening at Waterstones. Tickets available. Join us.

What better way to spend a Sunday than exploring alternate earths? Come join the BFS and guests at Waterstones Trafford Centre.

Tonight at 8pm I'll be chatting to @aptshadow.bsky.social LIVE on YouTube for @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social youtube.com/live/mkqu-Hj...

Seeing them again like this, 10 years on from my debut is amazing, surprising, emotional, and they look fantastic. The art team has done such a great job, elevating the original art from the French versions of the trilogy.

We are thrilled to be producing a special edition of The Age of Darkness trilogy by @stephenaryan.bsky.social in celebration of its 10th anniversary! 🥳

This coming Sunday at 7pm I'll be taking a trip to Manchester & heading to Waterstones for a fantasy panel alongside @danhanks.bsky.social @thomasdlee.bsky.social @alethearlyons.bsky.social tickets available below www.waterstones.com/events/fanta...

Rereading and re-editing the opening chapters of NYM2. Favourite sentence so far "What really boiled my piss was that we were heading away from New York into the Wild." If you like your detective PI and noir with a dose of speculative fiction, NYM is available now on Kindle and as a paperback.

Tonight at 8pm I'll be chatting to @aptshadow.bsky.social LIVE on YouTube for @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social youtube.com/live/mkqu-Hj...

Finally found time and head space to read Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social Not very far in but the sense of dread is already creeping up my spine.

Current read is Mercy of the Father by @tomtaylormade.bsky.social and @mikeljanin.bsky.social Fascinating stuff. Really intrigued to see where it goes. Joining Detective after enjoying Nightwing so much.
