Just finished reading The Last Shield by @cameronjohnston.bsky.social which I thoroughly enjoyed. If you fancy a gender-swapped Die Hard in a castle this is the book for you. Don't know how I missed it when it first came out. www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

It's great to see The Maleficent Seven, hitting 3000 ratings on Goodreads! My newest, The Last Shield, is coming up fast, and with a little luck it might hit 1000 in the next few months. Thanks to everybody who has rated and reviewed my books - you're all stars!

Hey Australian friends! I have a random silly mystery I'm hoping you can help solve! My friend and amazing fellow author @samhawkewrites.bsky.social showed me this pic of the hardcover of THE LAST HOUR BETWEEN WORLDS she bought in a bookstore in Australia that's missing a certain something 😂 (1/?)

Stumbled across a tiny little iron door in the hillside. Either the faeries have escaped their iron-bound prison or it leads to Temu Narnia.

It's impossible to adequately express my admiration for PS and the incredible list of authors they've published down the years. For weird horror especially, they have no equal anywhere so nothing short of an asbolute dream come true to be working with them on this collection. More info to come.

Reading my textbook on magical house protection (this part on dried cats as a sacrifice), I did not expect to see a mention of Terry Pratchett...

This wee book is getting some grand advance reviews. Well worth checking it out if you a/ love a spooky story in a foresty setting or b/ are straight up frickin terrified of trees.
