As my writing account, this place has been somewhat lacking in, well, writerly stuff. I've been busy with–& grateful for–being fully booked for my editing services, & with my agoraphobe adventures. I'll get back to it. For now, a snippet from my new WIP. 💜💜 #WritingCommunity #SkyWriters #BookSky

I want a reboot of The Rockford Files, starring Owen Wilson. With Vince Gilligan as show-runner. I dunno. Thought I’d throw it out there.

I have book news. But I can’t tell you anything yet.

Solo van trip’s coming soon. And there’s nothing you can do about it. (Apart from not watch, obviously, but that’s exactly what they’d be expecting.) youtube.com/@calamitycam...

I am telling you some appliance maker is missing out on the huge opportunity here to sell disconnected devices. You can have easy slogans like. It just washes your clothes and doesn't harass you. We are not spying on your underwear or your fries. We are not creeps. I would be first in line.

When you open your inbox and find the loveliest email from an ongoing client... 💖💖💖💖 kpeditorialservices.my.canva.site #WritingCommunity #SkyWriters #BookSky #Romancelandia #Authors #Editor

Part Two of the Scotland trip’s up. (Stop complaining. It’s free.) youtu.be/4MV3iQJumzg?...

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

The first Youtube is up! I mean, it’s a campervan channel so don’t expect author tips or anything. (Ha! I wouldn’t dare anyway.) youtube.com/@calamitycam... Also, I’ve set up a channel account here on Bluesky. @CalamityCampervan.bsky.social Come say Hi, if you really must.

We've got an understanding... He keeps me in drinks and snacks while I work, and we get to spend the afternoon in the pub. 🤣 #WritingCommunity #SkyWriters #BookSky #Romancelandia #Authors #MentalHealthMatters

What can I do to announce my upcoming availability? A re-introduction? Well, this is me. And yes, doing this made me realise just how boring I am! 🤣 Now Fully Booked for June and July. Book early! kpeditorialservices.my.canva.site/ 💜💜 #WritingCommunity #SkyWriters #BookSky #Authors #MentalHealth

My dudes, if you haven't read KILL SEQUENCE, rectify that as quickly as possible. Steve delivered an amazing, exciting, entertaining book. One of my faves.

My goodness! It seems my debut, Kill Sequence, has found a new home. Super news, old chap. Superb, even.

Yep. The early morning edits have been slightly usurped in recent weeks by the early morning Youtube edits. Poor old Colton’s on pause for now. 😭 (With a Glock pointed at him, no less.) Anyhooo, here’s a ‘toob snapshot. One vid’s ready, the second’s in the edits.

As much fun as the TACO memes are, don't forget what that stands for: TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT. It would be a shame to ignore the chicken memes that are there for the taking. Here's a little Starter Kit you might need. ENJOY!

Delete a letter, ruin a movie: Ice Cold in Ale.

Delete a letter, ruin a movie: O Time To Die.

Hope anyone in need or homeless sees this

How I arrived on Bluesky:

Why Edinburgh? My last book. Byron takes Avery to the National Gallery & this chocolate café after a bad day. On my way home, I even saw the Caledonian Sleeper they travelled on, & this hot air balloon which is also significant. 💜💜 #WritingCommunity #SkyWriters #BookSky #Romancelandia

Yup. I continue to say that AI is for those who fetishize THE IDEA and dismiss THE WORK. It's for those people who come up to writers and say, "I got a great idea for a book, I'll give it to you, you write it, and we'll split the profits 50/50," as if the idea is the hardest and most important part.

I want an app that tells me where this pub’s toilet is. Immediately, if at possible?

Early morning edits! No, no. Not the usual edits. Youtube edits. And the cat wants in on the campervan / writer retreat action.

Here’s me last week, in my writing retreat (AKA campervan.) Not being trolled by the dashcam at all. I survived. Don’t lose sleep.

Early morning edits! Who said I’ve been slacking!? Anyhooo, here’s some words from the finale, which I’m probably going to cut, whilst crying quite wetly: ‘Who needs witnesses, anyway?’ #SkyWriters #BookSky #Authors #crimewriters #WritingCommunity

I mean… I’m not gonna argue with Ron 😉 Thanks mate. 😎

Want to know what my clients think of me? Take a look. 💖 Now taking bookings from July onwards. kpeditorialservices.my.canva.site

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. The Devil is only $2.99 everywhere for a limited time! Get you some darkness. Send one to your mom. Anyway, share what you love! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09N... bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I didn’t!? (No, but I parked here. At the pub.)

Woo-HOO! I’m off to the Scottish Highlands today! In the van! I’ll leave pics as I travel, but in the meantime, here’s some early morning campervan words… from me:

Pass it on... #june14th

Aaand, I’ve started ‘proper filming’ for the Youtubes. Here’s me, channeling my newly-discovered Hannibal Smith. In the Lake District. Ahem. (Hannibal loved bad lager, didn’t he?) Anyhooo, here’s some actual words from this weekend’s van adventure: “We’ll have to stand back.”

Yup. This’ll do.
