Really excited to be giving a talk at the Carnegie Library in Lambeth on Tuesday 11th of Feb at 7pm! (Tickets below) friendsofcarnegielibrary.org.uk/2025/01/quee... * *Even if the posters make me look a little bit like a lost cat or a nuisance squirrel!!

This is going to be a great evening in a fantastic bookshop in a beautiful city.

5 stars to @robertjbennett.bsky.social 's forthcoming A DROP OF CORRUPTION. More plant-based nonsense! An impossible bank robbery! Political machinations! Very bizarre "cuisine." It's got it all folks. jonficke.com/2025/01/26/r...

Seen a 99p ebook deal for the excellent fantasy novel Song of the Huntress by Lucy Holland www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2024/4/...

Orbit have released the cover for THE SWORD TRIUMPHANT, the third book in my Lands of the Firstborn trilogy, out next May! (Preorders very much appreciated).

Nice people are struggling over the revelations on Gaiman, and something I keep hearing is, 'His work had a big influence on how I shaped my own identity.' So here's something to remember: You did that. He didn't do it for you. 1/

UK, Dragonfall is still only 99p. Read about a dragon trapped in human form who's real mad about it while falling in love with a human despite his best efforts not to. Heist. Weird narrative positions. The dragons have feathers. Queernorm world. Signal boosting appreciated. Sequel out in March.

Every time I've advised orgs on inclusion, especially on LGBTQ+ inclusion, I've said they need a detailed plan for how to respond when the attacks come. DO NOT put your LGBTQ staff into the public eye if you are not ready to stand with them and don't have a plan to support them. This isn't a game.

Since a lot of air time is being given to the shitty wizard books, I want to give attention to @freyamarske.bsky.social's fantastic The Last Binding series. It's unabashedly queer and horny, but to the above point: her magic system OWNS. The rules for magic, the execution of it, fun as hell.

At a time when the world generally seems not the brightest place, @freyamarske.bsky.social latest novel “Sword Crossed” is a bright shining place of joy 🥹

When botanist Richard Deakin examined Rome’s Colosseum in the 1850s, he found 420 species of plant growing in the ruins: cypresses and ilex, pea plants and more than 50 types of grasses. But some flowers growing there mystified him. They were so rare they were found nowhere else in Europe.
