Happy Pride Month! Happy 99p ebook month! Queering up history (myth already v queer) is my bag. If it's yours too, I hope you'll enjoy my story about the once-lover of Boudica who makes a deal with the Otherworld & becomes the leader of the Wild Hunt! www.amazon.co.uk/Song-Huntres...

Rubin Eynon's Gallos at Tintagel is like a crystallisation of myth, standing on land drenched in Arthurian legend. This ideal of kingship - the king as servant & protector of both people & Land - is a major theme in Song of the Huntress. Ebook is just 99p in June! www.amazon.co.uk/Song-Huntres...

Oof, only two?! I am full of admiration for anyone who can string words together into a book. Two whose work I have very much enjoyed recently would be @silvanhistorian.bsky.social and @lrlam.bsky.social, but they are by no means alone.

I was so happy to find the Stone of Gronw (you really have to hunt) on my last trip to Cymru. Considering my newest wip is a reinterpretation of the Mabinogi's Fourth Branch. Gwydion and Lleu, I come for yooouuuu.

If you like book stuff and despise the ignorant and hate-filled anti-trans rhetoric of this blighted nation, check out the auction! There's some great stuff still going amazingly cheap, including editing, sensitivity reads and science consultation, as well as a ton of signed books and goodies.

Nominations for the World Fantasy Awards 2025 and suggestions for the British Fantasy Awards 2025 are both open! I thought I'd give you a list of the friends of the show who are eligible in the various categories. Some of the categories overlap. BFA has fantasy novel and horror novel separate,

Please bask in the beauty that is the Song of the Huntress pb out next month! It's queer, court intrigue-y, full of Otherworld mischief, has a host of cursed women warriors & even the dead kings of Wessex. No book is complete without a spot of undead. Just you wait for my next one... 🪈🧟‍♂️

Hi #BookSky 💙📚 I've finished re-reading Firestorm by Lucy Hounsom aka @silvanhistorian.bsky.social It is a brilliant conclusion to a fantastic series - highly recommend the Worldmaker Trilogy!

Think AI won't be a problem if you only read books by real people? Will you be able to find them when big publishers won't buy them and smaller presses are drowned out online by the megacorps' flood of dross? Authors quit every day as it is because they cannot afford to write for so little return.

Excited for Medieval Music in the Dales later this year. Now I'll be able to bring along some appropriate melodies
