We’re house hunting day 2. And after yesterday, we need all the good vibes sent our way. Wish us luck

This might be contentious, But why do people love Moomins? For some reason I cannot define, or recollect or identify, this was the only kids cartoon that utterly freaked me out when I was younger. They still make me shudder! Adult fashion items emblazoned with them makes me recoil with discomfort.

A week ago, I was angry and demoralised after yet another mainstream media article erased decades of women's SF & Fantasy writing and minimised our current work in the genre. Asking why bother carrying on writing to be dismissed? These letters and the response to them have answered that. Thank you.

Do you have an emergency ‘escape’ book list? I have a selection of books bought and ready to read, which are all in place, for when I need an escape from work or other life stress. They may go unread for ages, but when I need them- they are ready.

Last day for this offer! Grab Jack of Thorns (ebook, audiobook) and Blind Man's Wolf (ebook) for FREE using the code Happy.Birthday as my birthday gift to you!! shop.ravenswordpress.com/products/jac... shop.ravenswordpress.com/products/bli...

Amazing epic fantasy, highly recommended, and look how pretty they are! #FantasyFaction 📘💙 🚀💙

Hey… it’s Valentine’s Day. And I write non romantic fantasy. But I had a good think about how many tropes I could technically still apply! Happy valentines 😂

Good Morning… I have some exciting news. There are some more copies of the @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social versions of Aulirean Gates on sale on their website now the move is done! I think there are only about 80, so if you missed them before, grab one !! thebrokenbindingsub.com/products/the...

So much this!! Gates is also not specifically YA. Its pacing is definitely not aimed at YA. It is ‘clean’ ( a phrase I hate) purely because of the style I was aiming at. Not for any other reason. I’ve seen so much entirely inappropriate shelving of many women author’s books.

Sometimes the things we feel as though we should want, aren’t actually the things our heart and mind wants, or needs. And only when the opportunity is lifted can we see clearly, and sing in Tesco.

The whole team deserve their share of the credit. Cheryl Morgan for the publishing side, Toby Selwyn for the editing, and Ben Baldwin for the cover art. I'm hugely grateful. And thanks to all who have read, reviewed, and recommended the book. Word of mouth enthusiasm is vital for small presses.

Our D&D group are simply the best. In no world could I have predicted the utter chaos last night, and I’m still chuckling this morning. No one died either!

Agitated waiting. This is where I am right now. I’m anxious cleaning. By the end of the week, I suspect the house will be shining. Can’t say it will lead to much writing progress, but I guess any progress, anywhere is positive!

This is the most wonderful thread of weirdness and so-ugly-it’s beautiful-ness. And I have t even reached the end of it!

I have a real yearning to get stuck into some of my non fiction books. The downside of that is that I always end up inspired with new fiction ideas. And I already have two books in progress, two novellas nestling in my mind, and another novel sitting next to them.

I do a lot of shouting about Gates because it’s in SPFBOX, and not enough about the other series’. Anyway, for no particular reason… Here’s me at Glasgow 2024 releasing Unfamiliared, which is a cosy escape of a novella. It’s full of witches and animals a magical sports day, and missing magic.

Really couldn't happen to a nicer person, or a more brilliant writer. Congratulations, Jenny. A self-published Guest of Honour at a major UK convention - amazingly well-deserved and am *so* proud of you 🙌

👀 To quote Rocky Horror show. ‘Don’t dream it… Be it!’ I still can’t believe it, but I’m Guest of Honour at @bristolcon.bsky.social this October!

Authors, if you see this, post the first line of your book! ‘ I hear them, I feel them. ‘ The Watcher’s Gates.

After last week’s death fest… I wonder what tonight holds for the D&D group!
