Release Day! Lurking Omnibus What's this? Two releases in one day? Well, technically this book has already been released (last year) but it has been re-released with cream paper because some potential readers requested it and I decided to do some more promotion for it. Lurking Omnibus collects 8…

Untitled Our second character from Gods of the Deep is Professor Everyn Crowe. He was created after I learned that Issac Newton, the famous physicist, had dabbled for a time in alchemy. I have always been fascinated by stories of real world occult lore and the relationship it has with science. The…

Lady Catherine De Berg We start off the discussion of characters in Gods of the Deep for its 10th Anniversary but looking at Lady Catherine de Berg Lady Catherine was not the original name for this character. In the first draft of the first paragraph of the story Heart of the City, she was male…

A very productive day at a Deadpool and Wolverine themed photoshoot... here are some rough edits.

@drfionamoore.bsky.social stud earrings are selling fast! Only 2 pairs left!

Still time to buy my books before my autograph session tomorrow! @easterconuk.bsky.social

Getting a lot of interest in the stall at @easterconuk.bsky.social Why not pop by to discover books by me, David Wake and Fiona Moore. #authors

Today I'm travelling up to Malham for a weekend holiday before prepping for heading to #Eastercon2025

I'm curious... all readers who consider themselves neurodivergent... which characters in fiction do you most identify with and why?

This week has been a weird mix of frantic activity to prepare for @easterconuk.bsky.social with sorting out book delivery, adding stuff to my inventory for contactless payment and other things interspersed with long periods of nothing... still, pieces are almost in place...

Lurking Miscellany, my original collection of short stories, is 11 years old now. Technically, it should have had a 10 year anniversary new edition last year... well, I am only a year late... books2read.com/ap/n0VVLb/DA... #fantasy #sciencefiction #shortstories

So, how is everyone today? I'm off work today so resting a bit, partly because I am still shaking off the inevitable cold that all teachers get when holidays start, but also going to be prepping for #Eastercon which is next Thursday! Taking a bunch of books and prints to Belfast to trade!

Looking for a collection of short stories? How about two collections in one? Lurking Omnibus combines both Lurking Miscellany and Lurking Miscellany II in one convenient volume... amzn.eu/d/cPF19eC

Also dogs...

Just back from ballet. The moral of the story - don't invite the super sexy bi sexual Swan king to your party...

Been working through edits on two shorts I intend to release next year. One is a weird idea just had about gods at a boarding school in Wales. The other is about a demon in a Manchester night club. @fdlee79.bsky.social has suggested it needs more action...

@shanxietyx.bsky.social is another great model I've worked with...

A big welcome to model and CosPlayer Samii Jinx to Blue-sky samiijinxx.bsky.social

That was an... exciting... walk on pavement that was mostly black ice... but made it to the tram in one piece... compensation was pretty church basking in golden hour...

Spent yesterday doing a Mitsuri/Shego photoshoot... today I am feeling very tired... Was very much fun though. There's a BTS video on my insta story... www.instagram.com/fantasyphoto...

www.instagram.com/stories/fant... This afternoon's work...

I never knew I wanted a full 1 hour character analysis on Chrisjen Avasarala, but I'm not mad about it. What a great deep dive into this powerhouse of a woman. #TheExpanse www.youtube.com/watch?v=6516...

Just finished and sent off a bunch of edits for my next big publication. Not SF unfortunately but my next educational resource. It's feeling almost done... then I can have more time to focus on fiction writing...

Explaining my cover photo... this is from a photoshoot with a model cosplaying my character Helen from Transitions...

So... this blue-sky thing... how does one use it?

Shot taken on a whale tour in Tenerife... yes. I'm aware that it's not a whale...
