Thanks so much to Matilda Battersby and the Bookseller for featuring Deathbound in this great article! Viva audiobooks!

Very excited about this!

Today is Jane Austen's 250th birthday! If you wish there'd been queer characters in the originals, check out my Austentatious series, beginning with THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET. I murdered Mr Collins off in the first line so that Charlotte Lucas can have a 2nd chance at happiness. (thread)

The Salt Oracle, by @rainewilson.bsky.social (pub by @solarisbooks.bsky.social) is another excellent novel set in the world of We Are All Ghosts in the Forest, a gorgeous exploration of dark academia blended together with a locked room mystery. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/the-... 💙📚

Thank you all, the update than we can barely believe we get to make. To everyone who supported us through this last month, we couldn’t have even come close to this outcome without you all. Have a peaceful festive period, we’ll see you in the bookshop soon 🧡

Hey Audible members! The Needfire is currently on a deep discount for the next week so if you've been waiting to buy, now's your chance!

Looking for a delightfully dark fantasy read? Deathbound by @heatherpalmer.bsky.social the perfect start of a new series - an excellent premise, stunning worldbuilding, great characters, and intrigue aplenty...! The audio production was just brilliant too! ✨️🖤🌟

It's St Andrews Day, which is also a great day to read Scottish books and authors!! Here are eleven recent-ish Scottish SFFH reads that I loved, to add to your TBR pile! 👇✨

I should maybe attempt to try posting some of the pics I took during my week in Harrogate for Thought Bubble! One highlight of our extended stay was a day trip out to Leeds. I remain gutted I missed OK Comics, but I still had a nice time!

Argonaut is my local, and is the best bookshop I've ever been near. They're lovely people who care about what they do, know the tastes of their regulars, and have been nothing but supportive of me and my work. Waterstones can fuck right off.

Argonaut Books needs your help 📣 Waterstones are set to open a store less than 100m from the indie bookshop's front door. Full info on @argonautbooks.bsky.social's Insta: www.instagram.com/p/DRMULI1jCI...

Come find me at table B9 2000AD hall all @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social weekend

I’m at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this weekend! Come find me in the Redshirt hall! Table A13! I’m almost a Pixar Easter egg!

We are all set up for Thought Bubble! Table B40 in the 2000AD hall

Thought Bubble is now OPEN! Come say hello!

BEHOLD!! IT'S @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social!!! Catch me in 2000AD hall at table B39 today and tomorrow!! 💙🌊

I will be at Thought Bubble this weekend! Find me in the 2000 AD Hall at table B13. I come bearing limited special items, including a hardcover A5 version of Sacred Bodies and some experimental colour gradient versions of my serpent shirt.

I get why a lot of non-disabled people want to pretend respiratory illnesses don’t exist, but as we’re coming up on another event I can’t safely attend, I encourage you to just THINK about wearing a mask at events - or at least on the train/ plane there, where there’s probably no reason not to

If you’ve not already gotten it, The Outcast Mage by @annabelcwrites.bsky.social is £3.99 on Audible right now! That’s a steal! The narration is amazingly done. www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Outca...

Thought Bubble is next weekend! Really excited, but please please wear a mask - i see fewer & fewer each year, and COVID is just as serious as it was 5 years ago. TB is an amazing event, but it’s not worth getting disabled or immunocompromised.

I now have incredibly frustrating chronic fatigue after getting covid in 2022. Please wear a maaaaask, it sucks

A quick reminder that i have a weirdish dark fantasy novel available on Audible. And, despite the shocked Pikachu reviews about being woke cannibal erotica, it is a) queer and b) not a YA ;) Listen to The Shape of Monsters by C L Hellisen on Audible. www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0FGDJ5X1...

After a whirlwind time in Brighton at World Fantasy Con, here’s a quick reminder of the last few UK tour stops! Edinburgh, Nov 4 w/ Hannah Kaner Glasgow, Nov 5 w/ @taylorwdriggers.bsky.social Leeds, Nov 6 w/ @tashasuri.bsky.social @toribovalino.bsky.social Tickets below!

Can we use a prescription as a base for a SFFH story? What about a receipt? A parking ticket? A nursery rhyme? How many 'other' forms of writing could we harness to enrich our writing practice? Join us for Cymera's Writers' Conference on Sat 22 Nov: www.cymerafestival.co.uk/2025-confere...

Announcing the Scottish Christmas Book Fair! * The perfect occasion for Christmas gift shopping * All your favourite genres for adults & children * Chat with Scotland’s indie publishers & meet their authors See below for who'll be there! www.publishingscotland.org/event/scotti...

What beats writers block is not treating your body like a factory. What beats writers block is healthcare. What beats writers block is gardening, & rest, & food, & companionship, & reading, & leisure, & anti-capitalism—but of course that’s not a very profitable thing to write, & won’t sell LLMs.

Writer pals! just a wee reminder to join ALCS if you haven't already, and to make sure they have details of your print publications by the end of november - 30/11 is the cut-off for the next royalty payments in March. www.alcs.co.uk

Sorry but it’s hard for me to care about the BBC’s risk of being defunded or whatever when frankly it’s been primarily used to normalise right wing rhetoric about immigrants, trans people, and others. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am so excited for you all to read @rainewilson.bsky.social's THE SALT ORACLE - it's beautiful, tragic, haunting and filled with brilliant details - this is near future speculative fic of the fantastical. Also TINY SPINE ORCA!

In things that are cool, The Shape of Monsters is up for a Speakies award next month! Am I amused that it's listed as YA? Yes, but also teens read whatever they want. www.thebookseller.com/british-audi...

I'm super excited to chat about the manuscript's journey and working with agents at this fantastic conference in November!

The incredible @cymerafestival.co.uk is on Sat Nov 22 in Edinburgh. It’s a celebration of sci-fi, fantasy and horror literature. I’m part of this panel session about collaboration - working with other writers, artists, colourists and more. Full event details: www.cymerafestival.co.uk

You’ve got blood on your hands Each and every one of you transphobic bastards have blood on your hands. The politicians, the ‘journalists,’ the ‘academics,’ the ‘concerned parents,’ the people with ‘legitimate concerns.’ You all have fucking blood on your hands
