My most recent poetry book, SONGS GONE WRONG, published a couple of weeks ago, has a few poems that reference bananas. This one, for instance 🍌🍌🍌🍌 #booksky

Happy Publication Day! #booksky One year ago I finished writing ODDITY O'CLOCK and today it has been officially published. The "KNICK KNACK TRILOGY" is complete! * TRUMPET FACE, intro by Michael Moorcock. * THE UNFAIR DINKUM, intro by Brian Evenson. * ODDITY O'CLOCK, intro by Paul Di Filippo.

TALLEST STORIES - ebook FREE until August 6th. #booksky A collection of linked fantasy stories arranged in three sets, all centred around a pub called 'The Tall Story', a tavern crammed with eccentric and sometimes supernatural characters. www.amazon.com/Tallest-Stor...

Exactly five years ago, my first poetry book was published. What I mean is that it wasn't self-published (unlike three previous poetry books). BUNNY QUEUE didn't do very well despite being trad published. I don't think any of my poetry books have done well. I guess that's not unusual... 🐰🐰🐰 #booksky

Copies of my new novel (published yesterday) make a nice mosaic 🙂👻 This is THE BISCUIT THIEF from Telos Publishing... #booksky

THE BISCUIT THIEF was officially published today! I will talk more about it in the coming days. In the meantime, I'll just say it's a speculative romp through an ironic version of the 1970s, complete with adventures in both time and space, not to mention the ghostly dimension 👻😊🎶🎵✨️ #booksky

Two more days until the official launch of my novel THE BISCUIT THIEF. I am really hoping that this one somehow catches the attention of a readership because I really reckon it's amusing. Difficult to have any clear perception of one's own work from the inside, of course! :-) #booksky

Here's a great piece about Maithreyi Hughes' new book 🐯🙂🎵🎶 #booksky valleypress.substack.com/p/would-you-...

Unboxing video (again). This is a book I am especially pleased with. I mean, all my books are books I am especially pleased with, but this is one I am particularly especially pleased with... 🙂🎶🎵 #booksky

Maithreyi and myself did a reading today as part of the UNESCO City of Literature celebrations in Aberystwyth. Maithreyi read from her poetry book, SKINNY DIPPING IN TIGER COUNTRY, and I read from two books: poems from SONGS GONE WRONG, and flash fictions from IMAGINARY HOTHEADS 🙂 #booksky

The ebook edition of SONGS GONE WRONG is a free ebook for four days. I put this poetry collection together mostly for my own benefit, so I will be better organised at poetry readings. It is slanted towards poems I am comfortable reading aloud in public 🙂 #booksky www.amazon.com/dp/B0H9XVTR78

An unboxing video for SONGS GONE WRONG, copies of which turned up today. This is my book of performance poetry and I will be reading from it at the Ystwyth Books sponsored event on Saturday in Aberystwyth, as part of the ongoing UNESCO City of Literature celebrations 🙂🎵🎶 #booksky

It seems that SONGS GONE WRONG has been officially published today. I just received my copies. This poetry collection is the third Mission Creep Press book. I put it together on the basis that it contains only poems I am comfortable reading aloud in public 🙂 #booksky

One of the things I have been doing is replacing substandard covers of my previously published books with better covers. This a new cover for an ebook-only set of stories about Detective Inspector Ynch Short of Scrofula Yard. You can compare it with the old (yellow) cover at your leisure 🙂 #booksky

My short story collection, DYNAMITING THE HONEYBUN, has been acquired by Mission Creep Press. This is hardly a surprise as I am Mission Creep Press. Publication will be next year. There's no great rush. Correction: there is a great rush, the band Rush, who I think were great :-) #booksky

Looking forward to the current era of trauma-confessional fiction coming to an end so we can get back to what is more fun in literature: irony, irreverence, erudite detachment, metafiction, ludic fluidity and experiments with the architecture of storytelling. #booksky

Exactly 13 years ago my novel about an apeman test pilot, STRINGENT STRANGE, was published. 13 years! Crikey. It was going to be the first in a long series of novels but I only wrote one sequel. At some point I will have to continue the adventures of the hairy hero! 🍌🐵 #booksky

Cover reveal time... This is ODDITY O'CLOCK, the third part of the "Knick Knack Trilogy". The book should be available for purchase soon. It's a detective story, a philosophical romp, and a speculative comedy, with an Introduction by the always gracious Paul Di Filippo 🙂🎵🎶 #booksky

The evolution of my cover design abilities... Three years ago I put together an ebook sampler collection. I was never satisfied with the cover, but only now have I redesigned it... This gives me a chance to promote the collection again over the next few days 🙂🎶🎵 #booksky

My poem about a genie who lives in a coffee pot, which I wrote yesterday, has been published today by Borderless Journal 🙂🎵🎶 #poetry #poems #genies #coffee borderlessjournal.com/2026/07/14/t...

Farage doing that awkward walk down the street in his bully blue blazer looks like a time-lapse puppet made from celery.
