Today’s interlude brings a serious dose of border politics into the Dex story… sometimes writing dark political sci-fi is… difficult…

A new Writing Worlds Podcast episode today. This time we feature author @timhardieauthor.bsky.social + voice actor @rjbayley.bsky.social for a chat about the making of the audio book version of Tim's novel Hall of Bones. Join me and @emilyinkpen.bsky.social for the podcast here pod.link/1812994751

I have nothing productive to say except that I’m editing and I’m totally done with editing. Mostly because due to *life* I’ve been editing in my head more than on the page so there are still a lot of pages left and I’ve been working on it for ages. Work that one out 😅

Happy Monday everyone!

This is our biggest Lego set to date. 10 bags, a 230 page instruction book, and a lot of mini-figs. Reckon we can get through both movies before we finish..?

The caffeine kick from lemsip is like, insane. Triple espresso with your paracetamol? Dont mind if I do! 😄

Big Indie Weekend Panel: PREDICTING THE FUTURE. Are authors soothsayers or simply extrapolating from the data given? @emilyinkpen.bsky.social, @liamjhogan.bsky.social, @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social and @jcmberne.bsky.social talk crafting future set worlds in Sci Fi and Fantasy. #writingcommunity

Had so much fun talking to the amazing double Hugo award-winning Arkady Martine about language in world building 🚀 seriously essential listening for writers! I learned so much - and the games were so much fun!

So this is what 36 looks like… and I may look grown up but I almost died of sugar overload at a dessert place an hour after I took this. Lessons were learned. The trauma is real. 😅

Huh… turns out Ice Cube starring in a movie that is minimally related to War of the Worlds - while shamelessly using the title for insta-audience - is not the movie magic I’ve been waiting for 😄

Weekend post on a Monday! Hope you all had excellent times. Mine was a gorgeous combination of amazing friends, who visited for drinks and food and games and fun times, and a surprise grape harvest 😅 Now onwards into the week and I really need to get back into editing!

It’s been a while since I shared a snapshot from one of my walks… and the light here was just so perfect…

I’ve watched KPop Demon Hunters twice in 36 hours and if you asked me what I’d want to watch right now, it would be KPop Demon Hunters 😅. Daymn.

Weekend feelings from the airport and a delayed flight back to the UK. I found beer and a place to sit and time passed quickly enough 🙂 Now back on firm ground and hoping my luggage made it! 🤞 Happy Sunday all - I hope your weekends went well! ♥️

When you accidentally find yourself in a Ghibli movie… Switzerland… wtf?! 😍

Auntie-mode engaged… When the kiddos both have pterodactyls, and then both have ice cream… ♥️😅🦕

Visiting family in Switzerland and this is their view over the lake. Sitting here editing, listening to the sound of crickets and Vaughan Williams ♥️

Nothing proves that the formula works like these comments from our listeners. The interludes are often little “side quests” - an extended scene between two or more characters to explore subjects that extend beyond the borders, without slowing the pace of the main episodes 😄

Friday feelings and I’ve glammed this one up! This dress was going free - unworn - on fb marketplace and it’s epic 💥 so I had to share! This week I started my new job at Solaris Health, and it was such a great introduction. (More below 👇) I hope you’ve had a great week! Happy Friday!

The latest Dex release is an interlude with two of my favourite characters. Doctor Devek Za and Doctor Osa Srivastava are two of the most despicable people on Dex Island, but their dynamic is so fun! The episode is out now on all platforms!

Happy Thursday everybody! ♥️

A big milestone for us at the start of Season 3! Thank you to everyone who has listened to and supported the show. You make it all worthwhile ♥️ Interlude 2 will drop tomorrow!

Okay people, help me. Sitting on the train yesterday amongst party-goers already a cider down, one young man - around 25ish - looked at me and said — “most men shit themselves when they’re drunk.” I asked if he really meant “most”… and he repeated the statement. 100% confidence. Guys… is this true?

Friday feelings and its release day for Episode 2 - Season 3 of Dex! Had a lovely message from a fan telling me how much they love my characters… and… it’s really wonderful to hear. In fact, It’s everything ♥️ I hope you all have wonderful weekends! (and listen to The Dex Legacy! 😄)
