Fuck the squeamish. #Next

Avignon today. The papal palace makes quite the skyline. Avignon is in FRANCE. So am I.

A French castle on the Rhône in FRANCE, where I am. 🇫🇷

Read-through/line edit of the WIP completed. I don't hate it? And I know where I am now, gearing up to finish the beast.

Of course you're only on Grindr tonight for the Madonna exclusive. How dare anyone suggest otherwise?

Let's get liminal Liminal I wanna get liminal Let's get into liminal 🎶

Proud to be a part of this. 🏳️‍🌈

The message this sends is appalling, that queer folks should be hidden away from sight, that we're shameful, dangerous and not fully human. It sanctions hate and violence. Bigotry like this should be illegal, especially in so-called democratic countries. But they'll never stop us. 🏳️‍🌈

We've got a roster of horror, fantasy, and science fiction for readers to enjoy, and more to come! Take a look at our books available now and forthcoming: www.starsandsabers.com/books/

Weird Devil.

A lovely morning out in FRANCE.

Status.

Well, I like the new Masters of the Universe film already. (From a mainstream review).

Nothing and no one "turns" ppl queer. This is bigot talk. Bigots base their fears on the notion that queer is communicable, subject to extraneous influence. Queer is an innate state of being. As human as that. Nothing "made" me gay. I just am. 🏳️‍🌈

The rather dubious looking Miss Ruby.

FRENCH MURDER LAKE

The AI shills are as obvious as the bogus emails. The faux concern. The attempt to sanction immoral actions by scale - it's only a *little* theft and pollution that pays techbros a *minimum* amount. Get fucked.

As it happens, I'll have a brand new gay story out for #Pride this year from @starsandsabers.bsky.social "Golgotha" is a place between life and death where a mortal might meet a ghoul. But can love endure in the shadow lands beyond life? www.starsandsabers.com/books/of-dre... 💀🏳️‍🌈📚💙

The TOC and cover for the 6th year of WE'RE HERE has been announced! I'm so so excited and honored to get to boost these amazing stories alongside @bogiperson.bsky.social!! Get your pre-order on here: www.neonhemlock.com/books/were-h...

How I am all the time, but HAPPY PRIDE MONTH all the same. 🏳️‍🌈💙 #Pride

There were quite a few teachers in South Africa who loved to cane all their students on a daily basis over years, because corporal punishment was legal. You don't tend to forget that.

JUUUUUUUUNNNNNE

Crazy to think that I've been professionally published for 20 years now. The first 10 were mostly like being invisible. The last 10 have been pretty great though! Thank you. And #KeepGoing ✍🏻🏳️‍🌈

@aptshadow.bsky.social Thanks kindly, Adrian.

Hot dog.

"Yes, dear. You are being persecuted for being an arsehole."

Halfway through the read-through/line edit of the WIP now. While I've fretted over it more than anything I've attempted (it's a mystery tale), I have to say it holds together quite well. Building up to write the last quarter. This is the variant cover. ✍🏻 #EnAvant

I did not like BACKROOMS at all. This is the highest compliment.

My niece from Nice is here tomorrow, which is nice.

French book festival achieved. Pretty much like a convention except it was outdoors and all the books were in French. Because *drum roll* I am in France.

Why are men™️ like this? I posted on FB that a lot of the French in the South of France understand Spanish, so I get by. What reaction do they think this kind of communication will get apart from an instant block? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm still in France btw. You know. In case you wondered.

Loving all the fountains. There are 40 of them in this little town.

France du jour.

I'll be talking about horror stories for the next wee while, but if your preference is for Scottish history with a side of sci-fi mystery, let me remind you about 'The Packet'. 1920s, Red Clydesiders heading for the new world, and a very stormy crossing. All that good stuff.

Provence gives good sky.

Provence.

This is utter bollocks. I've never used AI in my writing. I never will.

FRANCE!

I have thoroughly cleaned the oven for my mother and I'm ready for my halo now. TY

To the genius who posted a French riot pic under my rural sunset one. #Blocked

Bonjour!

FRANCE!

France - WHERE I AM - is rather hot.

Q: Why was Dracula depressed? A: He sucks at life.

The aircon is on in the south of France (which I am in). Yes, I know UK peeps don't have aircon. You also don't get to breathe in everyone's recycled farts and dead skin until your throat is raw.

Read through the opening chapters of the WIP. I don't hate it. But I will.
