Please enjoy this nuthatch hatching a whole nut 🖤

Meet Lobelia, a magnificent Eurasian Griffon Vulture at World of Wings in Cumbernauld! She's currently in training & doing very well at not eating people's welly boots (mostly). It was a pleasure to meet her - she was very boisterous & playful. Vultures are always fabulous & she is especially so 🖤

My New Year read was @adamroberts.bsky.social very clever & very scary Lake of Darkness which gave me the mega creeps by chapter 2 but which I couldn't stop reading. It's beautiful & horrible and I recommend/don't recommend reading it in a remote forest depending or not whether you value sleep...

A brisk and bright start to the New Year aboard a Victorian steamship on Loch Katrine (whisky compulsory, it was gorgeous but very cold! ❄️) ...Then home for some writing! 🖤✍️

This was my Warhammer festive read - an absolute banger from Dan 🖤 Lovely character work & super evocative. It kept me guessing until the end and chomping through a *lot* of Christmas chocolate as the tension ramped up 😂 🍫

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

i made an illustration for it last year... go read it, great writing

Wouldst thou like a grimdark festive tale from a snowy corner of Warhammer? The Feast of Saint Luthera is available for £2.99 & your coin will buyeth more awful 40K swine than u ever knew u wanted 💀⚙️🐖 ❄️ Plus 💀 Ruined castles 💀 spooky jester 💀 Decayed grandeur 💀 Flamboyant, evil king 🐖 Pig eggs

Last week I had the pleasure of popping in to the Super Relaxed Fantasy Club (@srfantasyclub.bsky.social ) for a reading and a Q&A. Before that, I had to figure out the right pacing. You can now find the (no spoilers) alternate reading up on Youtube (link in reply).

Master of Rites is up for pre-order next Saturday in limited edition, hardback, French and German editions! I’m so incredibly proud of this book, and taking on the next step in Ferren’s story has been an honour - I can’t wait to see what people think of it.

Thank you for the review of my Warhammer 40K short story Nightsider Imperialis @goonhammer.com & @lenoongh.bsky.social! It's in the Darkness Eternal Black Library anthology & features some of the characters from my novel Deathworlder. So if you want more Adair, this is where you can find her;-) 🖤

Tank u for taking the time to review my stories! 🖤🙏 It is a much appreciated way of supporting authors and means a great deal - plus is of course a welcome motivator to hop into the ol' Black Library Rhino carpool to work and keep typing grim tales 💀

Who’s that terrified person in the thumbnail? Oh wait, that’s me 😂 www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

Beautiful post just arrived from @decassette.bsky.social! A reading treat to have for the dark nights now the winter is closing in 🖤

Ready to hammer Monday 💀🖤💪 📸 forges_of_ruin

Tbt a seasonal homage to our greatest living author, dreamweaver, visionary plus actor and the reason I NEVER use subtext in my own oeuvre (it is of course for cowards) 🙏🖤💀

All of the Warhammer stories I've written! When I wandered into my local Games Workshop store as a kid more than 20 years ago I'd never have believed I'd get the chance to do this! It's so fun & there's just as much wonder in the great, grimdark world of Warhammer as when I first encountered it 🖤

Picked up some goodies from Kim's Bookshop in Arundel over the weekend including a vintage Nebula & British Science Fiction Magazine 😍 I highly recommend visiting if you're passing through Arundel - there are many floors of good stuff! Thank you to @hormannalex.bsky.social for putting me onto it!

Grateful to have picked up numerous fab reading recommendations from *every* panel at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social but am now intimidated by the state of my reading pile (anyone else?? 😅) Tbt Tokyo as I'm currently starting on my sub-pile of Japanese fantasy 🖤 📸 Hiroyuki Okawara @hero_nightwalker

Looking forward to this. A visit much-delayed (initially by the Covid pandemic).

This morning our young flamingo Frankie managed to take flight from Paradise Park in Hayle despite having clipped wing feathers. Last seen near Porthtowan at 10.15am. Staff are out searching the area and would welcome any sightings. Call 01736 753365, email [email protected] or comment below.
