Given the amount of spam I’ve been receiving recently offering interviews, podcast opportunities, author spotlights, and even a vague invitation to Boston for an equally vague celebration of some kind…I guess I must be doing something right. Right…?

Revisiting @naughtydog.com’s masterpiece #TLoU for #TLoUDay and want to dive into another story exploring a broken world and what it means to survive for those left behind…Burden could be for you. 📖 Remember…Only one thing matters: Keep them alive. amzn.to/4iBAFYB

Pre-birthday treat as I stave off the inevitable existential dread: a few ice-cold beers, An Evening with Kevin Smith, and then a blink-182 concert on YouTube. Contemplative but content.

If you're a reader waiting for #AvengersDoomsday, why not check out my superhero novel, Temporary? 📖: amzn.to/3KcPL76 The sequel is out later this year, and you can also grab a *free short story* set in the Ultraverse here: bitly.com/steverussell...

Canucks Talk was a major contributing factor in helping me, a UK-based Canucks fan, better understand hockey, the Canucks, and their history. They helped me become a fan. Wishing everyone affected the best, and I hope they all land on their feet.

Burden x Your Paper Quest *** Truly stoked to once again be featured by @yourpaperquest.bsky.social, becoming a two-time YPQ featured author in the process! That being said…it's an undeniably bittersweet achievement… More: bit.ly/4fXSlQf #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthor #BlueskyBooks #Booksky

From uncomfortable beginnings to a legit heat-filled feud in front of an electric, emotionally invested crowd, this was a truly fantastic match. AAA did a great job presenting stakes, drama, and character motivations, with both men knocking it out of the park from start to end.

Just finished recording @yourpaperquest.bsky.social’s swan song interview. So honoured to be a two-time YPQ featured author and to speak with Ryan and Steve about Burden, my process, and the creative choices that went into writing such a harrowing story… #WritingCommunity #Booksky #BlueskyBooks

A huge thanks to those who spent this toasty bank holiday reading my books! I see you and am truly grateful. Those KU reads have officially tipped this month’s stats, with the UK now leading the way after the US dominated most of the month! #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthor #Booksky #BlueskyBooks

Two scam emails within minutes: one to be featured in a newsletter (where I’d pay for the privilege, natch), followed by a “production company” wanting to adapt Temporary via a clearly AI-filled template, sent from a super-official Gmail account… #WritingCommunity #WritersLife

Congrats to Team USA. Hell of a game. Canada dominated the second and third but just couldn’t secure the go-ahead goal against the US’ powerhouse defence despite a plethora of dangerous chances. A tough loss. #Olympics2026 #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 #OlympicsHockey

I don’t usually post things like this, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who’s checked out Burden this month. It’s been the best month since release, and seeing it connect with readers through sales, KU reads, and reviews means the world to this indie author!
