Querying is hard. Would you be interested in reading something like this? Here is what my current WIP feels like #booksky #fantasy #darkfantasy

"...David Williams Injunction..." Looks like something big is coming from the Guardian and ITN about David Walliams, if they can defeat this injunction. #wrongun legalnewsfeed.com/2026/08/07/c...

“Cleary Gottlieb Lawsuit, David Walliams Injunction, and Merck Trademark Dispute Lead London’s Legal Headlines”

In recent legal developments in London, Cleary Gottlieb has come under scrutiny as a former client has filed a lawsuit against the esteemed law firm. The complaint stems from Cleary Gottlieb’…

I think I'll miss this book. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke To experience this book for the first time is something I'll forever be chasing.

The British Fantasy Society does not allow the use of generative AI in any of its spaces. For more on this, read the interview with outgoing chair Shona Kinsella from earlier this year. This position has not changed since last week's AGM. ⬇️ britishfantasysociety.org/its-a-cheat-...

Finally unblocked my reading pipes, I've been sitting on a single book since July. JULY! Just staring at me from my bedside table each night, stoking the embers of my guilt. But now, I've done it. I've smashed it, ya bastard. I am the conqueror of my own reading block, a master of my mind... ish

If you would like to read my British Fantasy Award winning story Shadow Jack, it is still up on @giganotosaurus.bsky.social for your enjoyment Note the content warnings! giganotosaurus.org/2025/05/01/s...

Incredibly disappointed to learn about several well respected authors in the speculative fiction space have sold their souls to an AI company. Some of the older generations literally cannot wait to pull the ladder up behind their success in the creative spaces. Fuck them.

To sum up Fantasycon '26... I'm just overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation for those who were willing to listen to my readings, attend the launch of the anthology I'm part of, the sheer strength of the panellists of my Exploring the Mental Health of our Characters panel

My first short story published in an actual real anthology: wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/anth... They are Still Here (Maen Nhw Yma O Hyd) is an anthology of fantasy tales of resistance and resilience. The threats will be modern, but the resolution will be rooted in the fabulous mythology of Wales

My six year old is far funnier than I was at that age... And more than I will ever be 😂

No I don't want to see a VTuber react to something, YouTube 😩 if I can't see the reaction because it's a fairly static cartoon face then what's the point in the video? "Look at an anime girl whilst said anime girl stares blankly at the best moment of your favourite video game and or TV Show?"

Just dropped my microwave meal all over the floor. Someone cry for me because the tears just aren't coming

A little public service announcement for the horror community: You are always welcome in the British Fantasy Society. We exist to celebrate and support ALL of speculative fiction - including horror, dark fantasy, paranormal and supernatural, and crime stories - across the spectrum. 🧵⬇️

Decided to start purchasing BluRays of my favourite TV Shows and Movies so I'm no longer beholden to the whims of Streaming giants. First on the list: Battlestar Galactica. So Say We All

Utterly burnt out. I spent the last week caring for my wife as she was rushed back and forth from A&E, balancing childcare, work, and everything in between, and now I just want to curl up in a ball and sleep for an eternity.

My trainer made me do deadlifts today. I've never done them before. I yearn for the ignorance of the past.

Guess I should start shouting about this! PRE-ORDERS NOW OPEN!! Official launch date is 29th of May 2026, but you can get a limited edition hardback if you're quick! This is my 2nd SF / Fantasy / Spec Fic story collection and yep, it contains the Godzilla one. www.newconpress.co.uk/info/book.as...

Unfortunately, we now live in a world where the dumbest people we know have access to a dumbdumb machine that keeps affirming that they're not in-fact dumb. It's creating an unstable ecosystem of so-called "expertise" with foundations built on sand.

I've been genuinely happier since deleting Reddit from my phone so I'm not bombarded 24/7 with world politics... But today and tomorrow, I have little choice as our elections are happening and I'll be damned if I let ReformUK take the Senedd!

Please give me a good birthday🎂🎂, Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #cymru #wales #voteplaid #plaidcymru

I voted! Hopefully with this vote, those Russian fucking Tory reject English nationalist pricks will stay well away from running Wales. #voteplaid #plaidcymru #wales #cymru

I'm in my daughter's street dance competition, and whilst I'm incredibly proud of her achievements, I cannot express how overstimulating this environment is. I want to jump off a bridge

I have officially sent off my first query letter for my standalone novel! Now, we wait! #author #fantasy #indie

How about this cover for Greton's Marvellous Maps 2, 'Charms, Charts, and Conspiracies'! Out July 7th on ebook, paperback and audiobook! Artwork by @lizdelton.bsky.social Pre-orders: Https://mybook.to/charms @suspensesiren.bsky.social

They've got the "springtime" track playing on the London Eye. Tell me, is this the fabled "bloom of London" she's banging on about?

I just finished reading @danhanly.com ‘s unpublished book The Revered and the Reviled and omg it’s so good. Agents, you need to pay attention to this one when it comes your way! The setup and mirroring in it is skilful and the ending is so bittersweet 😭

Occasionally I get a whiff of an ultra niche drama that I'm not involved in and I hunt that shit down like a bloodhound. The latest one is this K-Pop Tribute Concert in Belfast...

I love Asian game development studios they bring such a unique take to the market. But... Whenever they make a western appearing protagonist they give them the woooorst names. FF16 main character: Clive. Now Crimson Desert main character: Kliff. Why are they 58 year old plumbers?

I'm honoured to be at this wonderful event this May. Book now!
