My second book is out in the US today. It's something of a bittersweet experience to be a genderqueer author in publishing with book bans and anti-queer legislation. But I'm proud of my work and I hope it will find its way to readers who love it.

I loved this book and this is a fantastic price

Do me a favour and read these books. Fast paced, exciting, queer sci-fi in the vein of Firefly or Killjoys. This duology has so much going for them and I haven't seen enough people talking about. They're the best sci-fi I've read recently and remind of my favourite series. DO IT 🚀 #BookSky

It's a very long, complex and unnecessarily difficult consultation. But the link down there provides an answer template which will speed up the process

If you're in the UK, today is the last day to have your say on the government's AI consultation. The opt out suggestion is an insult to creatives. No one should have to ask to spare their hard work from scraping. AI companies should licence and pay for it. www.alcs.co.uk/news/your-ri...

UK AUTHORS AND AI HATERS: TODAY IS THE LAST DAY! respond to this consultation and tell the bastards what you think. You don't have to answer every fiddly question - and if you want, sample answers are available to c&p.

Manager: "What's this milestone 'Living on a prayer' ?" Me: "That's the documentation deliverable." Manager: "What's the status of that?" Me: "We're halfway there" Manager: "Why is progress so slow?" Me: "You fired Tommy" Manager: "So?" Me: "Tommy used to work on the docs"

Next book down - lovely political fantasy centring on a prince and his bodyguard. An initial strained relationship develops into loyalty, devotion, and more as they come to understand each other. Also featuring an absolute gremlin bi disaster who gets pushed in fountains too much. Justice for Tadek!

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...
