Holborn’s brilliant. The Factus Sequence that begins with Ten Low is absolute fire. A must-read for #sci-fi fans. I plan to devour these Triggernometry books. Maybe something other than mathematics makes Frege tremble…

RichmondCon on Saturday was a lot of fun, though rather exhausting when you're one of the organisers! Here's @starkholborn.bsky.social and @catamaroon.bsky.social on top form though. 😀

The last panel I made it to at @booksontherise.bsky.social was the utterly bonkers 'Spaceships vs Dragons' with @lavietidhar.bsky.social @starkholborn.bsky.social and @catamaroon.bsky.social. Unfortunately nobody seemed to want to argue for the dragons! 😂
