#TopShelfFriday The Bandy Man #1 @petrucha.bsky.social @jillthompson.bsky.social and Charles Adlard. I picked this up back in the day because I was a big fan of Stefan and Charlie's X-Files. Took a while to track down numbers 2 & 3.
An old op ed I did for the Hampshire Gazette. I should clean my office more often.
I am thrilled beyond belief to announce that my best-beloved space opera, The Stars Within, seven years in the making, has a new worldwide distributor – Macmillan!

No “President” has a right to strip citizenship and deport people who challenge his policies. That’s fascism, not America.
As a(n) historical piece, #TheTerrorSeason2 was terrific - some great characters and it was great to see @georgetakei.bsky.social give such a moving, delightful performance. As a horror story, and in terms of character arcs, it was pretty rough around the edges.
I am thrilled to announce that I am now officially repped by Travis Pennington of the Knight Agency! @knightagency.bsky.social
The Stars Within still available for review at Book Sirens! booksirens.com/bundle/scien...

When it comes to horror, Danny and Michael Philippou are a team to watch. While their first outing, #TalkToMe is ultimately the better, more coherent film, #BringHerBack has it beat in terms of sheer intensity and visceral horror, especially as manifest in my new favorite person ever, Oliver.
#Mickey17 would've been really impressive if it'd been written by a 15 year old.

Weren't those people you don't know in that thing you didn't see fantastic?

Our stupid culture: Someone says something stupid. Someone says it was stupid. The mob chants: Stupid, stupid, stupid. The word loses meaning.
On character and plot. #writingsuccess #WritingCommunity
Despite owing a big debt to Dusk Until Dawn, #sinners is great. The sets, cinematography, characters are rich, the music and choreography stunning and genuinely frightening. It gets maudlin at the end, needlessly repeating a mournful review of the characters post-credits, but a triumph nonetheless.
