G) All the "rules" of writing are subject to fads and fashions. There's nothing objectively superior about a given skirt length, or the tightness (or not) of jeans. If you're stuck on a particular era of style as the only right one, you miss out on a lot.

'Just read one book at a time!' Er... Nope!

Having a great time at my favorite local English pub. Bugman’s is really in the holiday spirit.

A veritable Exterminatus of Black Library Authors descended upon Warhammer World today! You may find that a few Black Library books in the store have now been signed ✍️ @notsosilentrobb.bsky.social @squintywitch.bsky.social @robertrath.bsky.social @noahvannguyen.bsky.social @johnfrench.bsky.social

Got this out for no other reason than it’s the best, and I have a constant itch to play it again. #warhammer #warhammerquest

'Now you'll smile.'

Top start to the day reading @agentofweird.bsky.social’s masterful dissection of 2 very different, barbaric, sword fights: Howard’s royal rumble as King Conan takes on an army of would be assassins & Joe Abercrombie’s Logen Ninefingers, down in the mud fighting for his life Great writing advice

It’s time to pick your favorite Warhammer book of 2025. Go vote peeps.

WIP - test base colours for the Spire Noble (who is definitely not in any way sinister #shewearsnomask) #warhammer #warhammer40k #necromunda

If any sword and sorcerer/cosmic horror fans out there have ever wondered who they should select as their patron come the end times. The answer is, of course: Mordiggian. The Charnel God waits. The pit hungers. Red shall be the night and crimson the day. Please do carry on with your day.

As the year gets deeper into the dark months, I have a new story for you. Light a candle and click the link. john-french.com/letters-from... #fantasy #grimdark #writer

Today in the Black Library, Jay "Lorehunter" Kirkman reviews the novel Dropsite Massacre by John French.

If you haven't already, go watch Chris talk about Ashes if the Imperium and the start of The Scouring. #horusheresy #warhammer #thescouring www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV28...

It's out! Go watch me on Scribes and Scriveners chat about the Horus Heresy, writing, and how Space Hulk 1st ed. ended all hope of me escaping Warhammer's grasp. warhammertv.com #warhammer #thehorusheresy #warhammer40k

"That policy benefits those of us who have been around for awhile, are knowledgeable, and strong willed, while taking advantage of newer writers and those who don’t know any better." Writers, you should read this too. It's a long read, but you will find it edifying.

I think it’s time to read this again. A difficult book in many ways but its fantasy that does so much to defy that label and subvert the expectations of what the genre should be. #fantasy #books

It was absolutely fascinating to talk to John about his writing for the Heresy series. it is definitely worth a watch when it's released on Wednesday!

Yes, that’s me on Scribes and Sciveners talking about writing, The Horus Heresy and how a flooded Blood Bowl pitch got me into Warhammer. You can watch it this week over on Warhammer+ Go here for more: www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl... #warhammer #horusheresy

Well this is cool: www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl... #horusheresy #warhammer #warhammer40k

I’m sending out my (irregular) newsletter later this week, where In fact, I'm sending out a new story too. So this is the ideal time for you to sign up to get both here: john-french.com#mailchimp-po...

I meant to post something smart today, I really did. Maybe that article on how Alien Earth's use of Peter Pan relates to the Magnus Archives, and Alan Moore quoting Enid Blyton in V for Vendetta. But I am still tired from World Fantasy Con so this is as good as it gets.

My Warhammer novel Starseer’s Ruin is up for preorder - if you want a hardback be aware the print runs are small so they go fast www.warhammer.com/en-GB/black-...

My compliments to @johnfrench.bsky.social on his new novel, “Dropsite Massacre”. He has taken one of the most infamous events of the Horus Heresy and crafted a narrative that feels simultaneously fresh, compelling, nuanced, and utterly devastating! Delightful stuff, and well worth a read!

Cado Ezechiar, The Hollow King. #warhammer #warhammerageofsigmar #vampire

Fabius Bile talking to an Emperor’s Children Astartes as he turns down the sensory level in his brain is sending me. I take the same tone with the kids. “You might want to play video games all day, but you have chores to do…” 😂 -from Dropsite Massacre, by @johnfrench.bsky.social #Warhammer

aaaa! it’s here! can’t wait to tuck into some fresh @johnfrench.bsky.social

A vividly evocative description of the warp that feels very Frenchian, if you will. Delightful! -from Dropsite Massacre, by @johnfrench.bsky.social #Warhammer #BookSky #BlackLibrary

If you like your stories in the finest audio format, Dropsite Massacre is out now read by the amazing Jonathan Keebler. Go get it, go listen. www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0FX5WQY1... #horusheresy #warhammer #warhammer40000

"I'm waiting, young man."

New Horus Heresy book available now!? Hell yeah! Just downloaded and looking forward to more Isstvan V massacreyness (yep, that's a word all right).

My first full length Warhammer novel sees me doing my alien mindset schtick with the Seraphon, the lizard warriors of the Mortal Realms.

23 years late, I am reading Seth Godin's marketing book 'Purple Cow' (I know, it's a bit late for a hot take), and so far, from this admittedly short book, I have learned that you should make good things that people like. But novel things. Always novel things. I thought I would share this revelation
