Chatting Alien Cult with the guys @authorizedpod.bsky.social and @markstay.bsky.social. Cows. (One day I'll be able to fully explain the xenomorph/custard connection): open.spotify.com/show/68YhhFL...

Always a pleasure to be a guest on @authorizedpod.bsky.social but doubly so when discussing Alien Cult by @gavingsmith.bsky.social The book is thrilling stuff and we discover that the real enemy is… cows. 🐄

Hello fine folks. My latest novel, the weird-assed space opera, Project Hanuman, is on the BSFA longlist. If you're a member could I ask that you consider voting for it in the best novel category? You should also vote for a bunch of other stuff :-) You can vote here: www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

I had a great time with @gavingsmith.bsky.social’s ALIEN CULT, which starts as a cool future noir, then becomes a frontier western, and then all hell breaks loose. A really entertaining and engaging read. Highly recommended.

It's been out almost two months but I wanted to re-up my timeline with some Project Hanuman love. You can find it at all your bookstores and in audio too. I'll leave you with what @gavingsmith.bsky.social thought of it. #SFF #spaceopera #scifi

Thanks to Mark for this opportunity! Have a watch/listen to hear me talking about writing in the Alien universe, writing in general and Christmas films, whilst quite ill (I recall being faintly hysterical).

Todays typo: A bowel of soup.

Join me TONIGHT with Gavin G Smith on the Creative Differences Livestream on TUESDAY 9TH DECEMBER, 8PM GMT. Gavin's latest novel is ALIEN CULT, set in the Aliens universe and we'll discuss that and his incredible career! Join us on FB: fb.me/e/9aywRGDAi Or on YT: www.youtube.com/live/kCuVPEZ...

Project Hanuman by @stewarthotston.com continues to rack up wonderful reviews.

Stew was kind enough to review Alien: Cult on Nerds of a Feather.

It's finally here! Thank you for your patience but Alien: Cult, the result of nearly 40 years of Loving the Alien* is finally here on 25/11/2025! I hope you guys love it as much as I did writing it: titanbooks.com/8789-alien-c... *As Bowie would have it. #alien #aliens @titanbooks.bsky.social

You still have two weeks (well almost) to get Romanitas for 99p!

Lovely review of Project Hanuman here:

You never want to plagiarise but my gods I'm putting a lot of effort into not using "It rains, you get wet." in current project. Such a concise way to sum up the consequences of violence. I suspect @oneblakeminute.bsky.social knows what I'm talking about.

Today's typo. Valahala. I just think it sounds more fun.

THIS is a truly magnificent cover. The fiendish @gavingsmith.bsky.social taking us into the Alien Universe, and you betcha life I’m reading this next. ALIEN CULT … Check it! Many thanks to mighty @titanbooks.bsky.social for the copy!

Ooh, look what the book fairies brought me today! Excitement levels very high for this one. @gavingsmith.bsky.social ’s ALIEN: CULT is out on 25th November!

I have a very strong memory of D&D being banned in Inverness at some point in the 1980s because of the Satanic Panic but I can find nothing online about it. Can anyone else remember anything about this? Points if you know of any sources on the matter.

Some gorgeous #BookPost - coming this November is this exciting science fiction novel Project Hanuman by Stewart Hotston - thanks to @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social

Today's typo: ...an expression on his face as though he really hadn’t liked the taste of the last think he’d eater.

Some holiday reading with @sarahpinborough.bsky.social

For any SFFers in Somerset, @starkholborn.bsky.social & I will be in conversation at @mrbsemporium.bsky.social, Bath’s loveliest bookshop, on July 17th. Join us for a glass of wine, a nice sit down, & potentially some vaguely sci-fi discussion @solarisbooks.bsky.social @titanbooks.bsky.social

Out on thursday in the UK;-)

I'm a little bit late to this as ever but here is the first chapter of Alien: Cult, out later this year!

First copies are here!!!

Since it's Friday, does anyone fancy a promo code for the audiobook of FALLING DARK? I have a couple to give away! Retweet and comment if you do and I'll DM you. Details of the book in the link: www.amazon.co.uk/Falling-Dark...

According to autocorrect the people of East Germany drove Treants.

Well, well it would appear that @tadethompson.bsky.social has done Doctor Who (not rhyming slang): cultbox.co.uk/news/two-new... I can reveal (I think) that I have read it and it is much goodness!

Today’s films, my two favourite Kilmer performances, Tombstone and Heat.

PAVED WITH GOOD INTENSIONS is due out in June! Pre-order link in first comment.

Crying! Screaming! Falling down 😭‼️🙇🏻‍♀️🤍

So listen, book promo feels weird now, but one of my personal highest goals as a fantasy writer is to give readers a few hours of fun escape from their troubles. So if you're looking for that right now...I've got you. (Plus, Moira Quirk narrates the audiobook!!!) bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

That Adam Roberts is not more widely known and has not won many more awards is the single most mystifying thing to me about the SF genre. In a prolific career of more than 20 years he has produced *the* most varied, thought-provoking, witty and beautifully written body of work. Publishing eh?

Today, the mass-market paperback edition of my novel LAKE OF DARKNESS is released. Buy a copy! In fact, buy seven, in case you lose six! Imagine how chagrined you'd be if you bought six copies and lost them all! That extra seventh copy could be a life-saver. www.gollancz.co.uk/titles/adam-...

Am I understanding this correctly? Penelope Keith shot JFK?

@tadethompson.bsky.social why do you have my favourite painting on your profile?

I'm wondering if this time they'll dump teslas into Boston Harbour?

No one will ever go back to the future in a Tesla.
