It's been a weird/catastrophic/brilliant year for me, & a lot of the catastrophic stuff happened just before my new book came out, so I haven't actually talked about it much. So.
Talonsister is out! It's a fever dream of pre-Roman Britain, with snarky griffins and UST 💚

This Thursday! I will be in Guildford chatting all things fantasy with On hiatus—writing cave! and Mark Stay - I have a feeling we're all going to have a lot to say 🤩 Hope to see some of you there! eventbrite.co.uk/e/roots-of-fan…

There aren’t many things that bring me out my hermit cave and back onto Twitter* these days, but Jen is one of them. She is the best 💖

*I’m too old to call it anything else

Just a quick reminder that Adrian Tchaikovsky's 'Empire in Black and Gold' and Peter Newman's 'The Vagrant', should be on people's to read pile.

'You're here,' he said, 'because I'm in love.'

How to do absolutely nothing.

'I have to convict you... You should feel guilty for nothing.' A truly extraordinary summation from Judge Wilkinson in this Just Stop Oil case juststopoil.org/2023/02/16/you…

This is my understanding of the legal system.

Ahh, there’s nothing quite like a Harrison Ford interview thr.cm/pjgHrqE

Really enjoyed my time with The Vagrant by Peter Newman. What a fantastic idea. I think there's a lot I maybe didn't understand, like who/what the Usurper is, and what exactly The Seven or The Malice are, but I really loved the characters and the general idea for the story.

Edward Aloysius Murphy Jr. (1918-1990) was an aerospace engineer, who was involved in testing g-forces on early rocket sleds.

In 1948, his sensors returned zero response, because they'd been installed backwards. As a result of this, he coined Murphy's Law.

No, not that one.

This is kind of cheating, but I edited Tim Burton's Batman (1989) into a silent film and I rewatch it so often. One of my favorite creative exercises I've ever done, speaks to Burton's visual genius that the film still works so well without sound.

If you came to my workshop this morning, thank you! Was lovely to talk stories.

And if you didn’t get a turn or want a bit more help, I’ll be in the bar later! #fantasycon
