Chapter 12 of *shrug* completed, over 50,000 words written. More than I've done on most of the stuff I tried since last year. #writerslife #BookSky💙📚

As much as I disagree with Marxism as a form of government, it does raise some good points as a philosophy. Admittedly I may be missing context here, I haven't researched in depth.

At a time of crisis for the History departments across the UK @ihr.bsky.social has made available a unique archive of interviews with leading post-war British historians. They point to the importance of history & the urgent need to defend the profession. historyandpolicy.org/opinion-arti...

Congratulations to my @historytcd.bsky.social colleagues @petercrooks.bsky.social and @cwallacedublin.bsky.social and their team @virtualtreasury.bsky.social on repurposing 30 June as a joyful day of archival discovery through their extraordinary work

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 29: This is the current last line of my WIP Khemia, a statement growing infinitely outdated. "The shimmering reflection of the village’s pond, seen through a remnant haze of mist, made Khemia’s blood creep." #QueerWriters #pride #writesky #writingcommunity #BookSky💙📚

#LGBTQWriteAThon Day 29: Last line Here, have 25% of the words I wrote this week. 😅

This is a really excellent speech: "An act of bridge-building that unites one island with another and those two with yet another." (One of the things I love about Tochi's writing in general is his precision and elegance. And this speech reminds me that I absolutely have to read Harmattan Season.)

Remembering that the BBC banned 67 songs during the first gulf war, including “Give Peace a Chance”.

this podcast episode was such a joy. una is just laughing all the time, and not gonna lie, her attitude is infectious. great listen. also getting really excited for the next season of SNW. i love that show so much, in part bc of its wild tonal range

Sometimes, or a lot it depends, we do something that makes us really, really feel or look like a right dingus. And when you have anxiety, that moment can and will try to haunt you forever more. (1/2) #writing #writerslife

Introductory post Web developer by day, coding for over 50 years. The rest of the time I'm a writer of fantasy, SF, Steampunk and Erotica stories mostly with queer MCs. As a hobby I like to create 3D renders using DazStudio. (Example below.) I have no time for bigots of any type.

Someone realised we've had far too much bad news, and gave us some good news instead.

Dear Hungarian friends

It is remarkable how even the ad campaign understands "Naked Gun but 2025."

I’d like to point out yet again, that if children’s publishers persist in prioritizing celebrity books, they will eventually convince everyone that writing kids’ books requires no expertise, just name recognition. And in doing so, will have sabotaged the hard-won credibility of our industry.

Oh, these two covers are going to look very handsome together. #BookCoverDesign 💙📚

A pride of lions!

It’s an indie takeover this month on SFF Addicts! Our podcast schedule for July includes a masterclass with @older.bsky.social, along with four self-publishing panels as part of Indie Appreciation Month 🙌 All episodes available in audio/video. @torbooks.bsky.social

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 28: I completed one chapter, wrote over 2000 words (over half) of the next, and know where the heck I'm going for the moment. On the downside, I've suffered from migraines and business and distraction. #QueerWriters #pride #writesky #writingcommunity

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 28: Check in day! How was your week? #QueerWriters #pride #writesky #writingcommunity

Cover Reveal for A RIVER FROM THE SKY (the second book in the Natural Engines duology) forthcoming April 2026 with @titanbooks.bsky.social is now live with @thefantasyhive.bsky.social 👀‼️🌊🌬️⚙️ Eternally grateful to Natasha Mackenzie for once again creating such a gorgeous cover! 😭🫶🏼🔥

The Fantasy Hive released the cover for A RIVER FROM THE SKY by @aijiang.bsky.social today, coming from @titanbooks.bsky.social in April 2026 and it’s an absolute beauty! Here are my thoughts as to why, along with a glimpse of both covers in the duology side by side👇🏻 fanfiaddict.com/cover-featur...

Boss: Any thoughts? Remember, this is a no judgement zone. There are no bad ideas! Me: The MCU should cast Beyoncé as The Beyonder, but rename the character The Beyoncér. Boss: …Any thoughts about THE PROJECT. Me: Sure feels like judgment to me. 😠

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 27: I mean...is there really any worse moodboard than this? #QueerWriters #pride #writesky #writingcommunity

Not to jinx it, but I've written over 2000 words today for my WIP Khemia and the Dewdrop Stone. Good progress. #writerslife #BookSky💙📚
