ICYM our announcement this week, the splendid @aptshadow.bsky.social and I have started a new #podcast called Starship Alexandria. In episode 1 we discuss one of my favourite classic SF books THE KRAKEN WAKES. #booksky starshipalexandria.com/episode-1-th...

Isn’t this a stunning cover! Thanks to @headofzeus.bsky.social for review copy of Bee Speaker by @aptshadow.bsky.social Love this series and can’t wait to find out what happens next

Apparently voting is open for the World Fantasy and British Fantasy Awards now so I will awkwardly note that Days of Shattered Faith is eligible for the appropriate novel categories for both.

A new podcast so charming, entertaining and funny that it led to me accidentally flooding a bathroom. This is Highly Complimentary.

Still banging on about this!

Let’s take a journey to the dark side together… Presenting STAR WARS: MASTER OF EVIL! Out November 11th from Random House Worlds. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

@aptshadow.bsky.social excellent book "House of Open Wounds" has a character that's arrested and pressed into military service for "god smuggling" (which to be fair he was totally doing) so "idea smuggling" is the sort of policy the Palleseen sway would most certainly enact and enforce.

This is such a fun book! Enormously recommended.

It would really mean the world to me if people would share details of my event for THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET, Tuesday 29th April in Glasgow! If you have queer friends, tell them! Or if you think you'd enjoy a book which kills Mr Collins off, come along! www.waterstones.com/events/lindz...

When you worship Khorne but you’re polite about it.

In case you're not subscribed to my newsletter, here's the latest, containing details about my programme items at @easterconuk.bsky.social in Belfast next week and the new podcast that author Adrian Tchaikovsky ( @aptshadow.bsky.social ) and I have launched enewman.co.uk/come-aboard-...

And another boost - sorry for the repetition but it’s new and I’m very excite about it :)

Listening to Service Model, by @aptshadow.bsky.social, while I pack. It’s read by the author and, dang! He’s *good* at this. Like, Andy-Serkis-reading-LOTR good, which is high praise indeed! Bonus: Service Model has no songs (Apologies to Tolkien, but oof. Those songs are rough in audio format)

Big, somewhat leftfield news: I am kicking off a podcast with the wonderful @emmanewman.bsky.social under the title Starship Alexandria. It's a cosy book and film recommendation show where we take it in turns to rec things to one another and discuss them.

As @aptshadow.bsky.social has just announced, we've started a new podcast called Starship Alexandria. It's cosy, nerdy and relentlessly positive. We take it in turns to recommend a beloved book/film/graphic novel to each other and discuss it enthusiastically. starshipalexandria.com/episode-1-th...
