Did you know that the GSFWC (@gsfwc.bsky.social) is forty years old this year? Well it is, and as part of too much thinking about that, I bring you the first in a (slowly) building set of blog posts with my thoughts on it. www.munchkinstein.co.uk/index.php/20...

I can't GO to Worldcon in LA later this month, but I'll still be there! Catch me online (UK time) for two writing workshops (each nearly 90 minutes long), a talk on how cottage gardens are based on baloney history & a table talk where we can chat about writing to your heart's content! lacon.org
Hi Paisley! I'm at the Unseelie Gathering today, so come say hi! I have books! I also brought my tablet to do some drafting in between chatting to folk.
Friends, I did it! I wrote a whole post without drifting into 'ugh publishinggg' even once! Please applaud. www.patreon.com/posts/165369...

Oh hey, I think this is the first official word about my 2027 novel, THE REALM INVISIBLE. I took John Crowley and John le Carré as my guiding stars for this one. Elizabethan spies in the cold war between England and Spain, with, naturally, weird stuff happening. Edited by Jane Johnson.

Oh cool, this was a fun thing to learn. Apparently if you store your docs in an external hdd, Windows helpfully puts the attribute "Archive Indexed" in its properties. Which it abbreviates, naturally, to "AI". PSA: this is not a "ChatGPT wrote this file" indication!!
I'm doing some things at Worldcon online! First, a workshop called "Outlining while ADHD". Lot of advice is "you must outline your writing" but then how do you not sap the fun out of it? Also a panel, "Polycrisis: Living Through Many Challenges At Once" - sure to be 🔥🔥🔥 See you there?
The readers have spoken! @rhiannonagrist.bsky.social 's debut Scottish cottagegore psychological horror HOME SICK is clocking up the 5* reviews over on Goodreads! Here's why they think you should pick up... Buy now: geni.us/homesick

I’m a big fan of Sandra Newman’s novel The Heavens with its time slip from noughties New York to Elizabethan England. So, I’m pretty overwhelmed to read this early response. Coming: September 2026 @goldsf.bsky.social @goldsmithspress.bsky.social @unamccormack.bsky.social @sarahsuch.bsky.social
BOOK BIRTHDAY BOOK BIRTHDAY!! Armor of Annwn is OUT NOW!
I know I should be using the current love of Ancient Greek mythology to promote my Medusa retelling, but I am on the cusp of burnout and really don’t have the spoons to do any meaningful marketing 😭😭 Of Serpents and Sorrow is really good, I promise 🥺 💙📚
