Two of the best books of last year that you probably didn’t read are LAST NIGHT OF FREEDOM by @danhowarth20.bsky.social and STARLET by @dangerslater.bsky.social. Both in my top ten favourite books of 2024. Probably in my top five. Readers, read them. Publishers, sign them.

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.
