IT’S WOMEN IN HORROR MONTH!
Be bold
Take up space
Ask for more money
Closed mouths don’t get fed
Follow your intuition
You are enough
Authenticity is enough
Ditch those self limiting beliefs
Do it scared
Don’t give up

I've acquired some wee pince-nez reading glasses, and now feel cool while being able to glare over them when someone interrupts my book 😂😎

Adored this book

My baby is back in print today 🥰

A woman trying to save her city has to slit a few throats to do it in this noir-inspired dark fantasy world, a story I wanted to tell that was the reason I became a writer.

Backed SO fast! Bona indeed! 🥰🌈

It's your chance to support our very own Trip Galey's brand-new queer AF post-apocalyptic science-fantasy novel set in a world full of drag balls, weird science, magic, and...GASP!...Polari!!

We can't wait to see how this turns out.🧐

Now that's an enticing descriptor!

Yay! Thankyou!

My latest review and recommendation! ❤️ @torbooksuk.bsky.social

They all do this. And it feels like a reflection on the humans behind them, whose inflated careers are built on never admitting they don’t know the answer. The ‘smartest people in the room’ if ‘smart’ just means glib and facile, turning out lies with complete conviction.

I track my ARCs with a Real Diary. It's rather fun!

This looks epic! Is there any way to get it in the UK, or as an ebook? Many thanks.

Well done! 👏🏻❤️

You couldn't top this. Nailed it (also Neil Newbon as Jam-es!): youtu.be/H-uEx_hEXAM?...

I've conducted Handfastings (pagan weddings) for over 20 years now. Every single one is unique and takes a LOT of work.

Some people say I'm too cheap, others too dear, and even 'you shouldn't charge at all.'

I try to value my work fairly but it's so hard sometimes.

I got this today too! And a little book by someone called Disco who sounds pretty cool... 🥰🌈

Scream 7 is much more fun than I thought it'd be - all bets really are off! 😊

My book of the month is in here too! 🥰

Also the Tories lost their deposit

I saw a chap in Warhammer World in full Kingpin (from Daredevil) cosplay. I'd rather that sort of villain (fictional) please.

I've not used BookSirens since their endorsement of 🍇-positive books a while back. BookSprout is a good alternative.

Um - @nefariousbatpress.bsky.social?

Hello!

Also the Nutters forum has been very quiet recently - is all well?

Some of you know I've been part of the Fantasy Hive judging group for SPFBO - here's the first round of results!

Awww! Fuss for him 😍

A New Wharton Study on AI Warns of a Growing Problem: Cognitive Surrender Casual users should pay special attention

This is a mental war that we have to win. It's not about being a luddite, it's about destroying or retaining the ability to think. It's about how insidious this becomes in a situation where generative AI is adopted and then subverted intentionally.
