Trump on the economy: “This is Biden and you can even say the next quarter is sort of Biden.” And the next year. And the next four years.

My word. Another fire at another sub station…

#NationalIndependentBookstoreDay @libro.fm Have a sale on and every purchance can aid a local independant book shop of your choosing. I picked @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social libro.fm/sale/all 💙📚

I would like to point out that in Ireland, the law has allowed people to self-identify for about ten years, and it’s been . . . fine. Society has not collapsed, public toilets are not battle zones, Harry Potter isn’t banned. People just got on with their lives. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

HEY KID YOU WANT TO BE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

It was lovely to see @shaunalawless.bsky.social at #EasterCon - a great panelist and helpful guide to nearby eateries. 😁 I’m really looking forward to her upcoming book: Daughter Of The Otherworld!! 📚

Lol

Sounds like a fantastic time at #Eastercon! 📚✨ Can't wait to hear which books you picked up! Happy reading! #SFF #BookLovers 🌟

The Secret Bookshelf have also been selling rare first editions and foreign language editions of my novels for me in the dealer's room @easterconuk for the fight for trans rights and we've already raised £320! Still several things on offer!

The wonderful booksellers at The Secret Bookshelf stand at the Eastercon 2025: Reconnect. ✨📚✨📚✨📚✨ @easterconuk.bsky.social #booklove #bookshop

These two novels by Lauren Beukes are coming home with me. Can’t wait to read them! ❤️ With thanks to the booksellers at The Secret Bookshelf stand at the Eastercon 2025: Reconnect for explaining the mystery of the multiple gorgeous editions. ✨📚✨ @easterconuk.bsky.social @laurenbeukes.com

Irish Mythology and Horror panel @easterconuk.bsky.social is just starting - fairy trees, haunted spaces, last wolf in Ireland...

Took a small, stuffed cabin bag to EasterCon, had to buy an extra bag on return due to free/purchased books & unusually good luck winning stuff on the Bona Books charity tombola (and less excitingly, having to purchase a very stylish & sexy cagoule as my coat just wasn’t up to the Belfast rain) 💙📚

This is a really cool thing two of our Eastercon guests of honour are doing... and amongst so many awesome items to bid on, I offer a shawl www.32auctions.com/organization...

Huge thanks to The Secret Bookshelf in the dealers room at Eastercon Belfast who were selling rare editions of my books for me and to everyone who bought them! We raised £500 for The Triangle Project in South Africa and @goodlawproject.bsky.social's legal campaign to fight for trans rights in the UK

Guys I just won a BSFA award.

I can’t listen #Rory

That Irish genre authors are not lauded and celebrated here in Ireland is frankly embarrassing. #speirgorm #Irishwriters

"You boy! What tariff is it today?"

UK new entry rules for tourists will hit Northern Ireland’s hospitality trade… my take on another downside of Westminster rule in today’s www.irishnews.com online and in the shops. www.irishnews.com/opinion/tom-...

Can’t wait for this! Thank you for having me along (virtually)

delighted to have a short story and interview here (look! 2 awesome covers!) I hope to be at both launches but will definitely be at the one at Eastercon as well as my programmed items. Pop along if you can! #belfast #horror #magazine #writing www.facebook.com/share/p/18xH...

Thoughts and prayers for those American’s whose 401ks are now 201ks. We will certainly take a break from surviving the onslaught of global warming and H5N1 bird flu to make your economy bounce back as soon as possible.
