Halloween viewing: the last series of #AttackonTitan. Not exactly your classic horror, but holy fuckballs

Dang! Rumbled!

Frail, but absolutely as stubborn as ever, Pixie is not sharing the Halloween chocolates. They are hers now.

Small children, riding scooters in shops. Anger is with their parents, obvs, but it's not a PARK, you little monster!

In that slightly weird null-space that comes with the end of a project.

Need to give myself a break and write something for fun (which was where Lugan came from, in the first place), but starting something new is kinda daunting.

Anyway, leaving you with this: youtu.be/gMmfaaiWMEs?...

Lugan Vision Quest ebook by Danie Ware - Rakuten Kobo Read "Lugan Vision Quest Book One of the Ecko legacy Series" by Danie Ware available from Rakuten Kobo. Lugan’s too old for this shit. His back hurts, his knees ache, and he can’t stop bloody coughing...

Reminder that Lugan Vision Quest is also on Kobo, featuring:

A biker who's too old for this shit
A priest of the Elemental Dark
A lad who thinks he's Chosen
And a derelict, fantasy setting

Drop a fuckton of psychotropics and jump worlds! What could possibly go wrong?

A pet shop window, in which a tiny black kitten is upright, right at the front with its paws on the glass. It's looking up at a (classic) broomstick-riding witch, who is looking back. They are both delighted, and absolutely made for each other.

A very happy Hallowe'en and Samhain to all :)

I couldn't possibly comment! 😆

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, and let's circle back to this next week.

*a range of.

And this is why we have editors.

The Rose at War, by Danie Ware. Featuring a red-armoured Sister of the Bloody Rose, with chainsword and bolter, against the background of a rose-decorated stained-glass window.

This is my eleventh* (to be) published novel, reflecting range titles that are trad pub, small press, self pub, and IP fiction.

*Counting The Rose at War, which is the Sister Augusta collection🌹

White page that just says 'The End'

AND DONE!!!

Manuscript completed, all pieced together, final spellcheck run.

Eighty thousand words and change :)

Will need a final check (and probably some tweaks), but I've reached the point where I've read it so often I can't bloody see it anymore, so taking a break to let it simmer.

Out today, and was fortunate enough to read @aknighton.bsky.social's novella before its pub date.

Cover quote fully deserved :)

And a third set of #goodnews, my Section 42 notice has been formally served.

The #LeaseExtensions is still ongoing (and will be for a while), but at least I can stop panicking about it now.

Honestly, what a ridiculous process (and expense) for two bits of paper and an antiquated corner of UK law

Nigel Farage loses major vote as he's accused of 'making career by damaging UK' Nigel Farage's call for the UK to leave the European Convention for Human Rights (ECHR) was voted down by MPs, with Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey branding it "un-British"

Starting this morning with some #goodnews.

Picard was both literary and principled, and would despise LLMs.

Data had ethics. It was Lore that didn't.

And we all know what happened when Barclay went off the deep end, and The Goddess of Empathy appeared on the holodeck...

A little #realartmatters, countering the tide of slop :)

Jack's complete lack of surprise...

Photo of a black cat with yellow eyes, taken as the cat's head was moving. It appears to have 5+ sets of eyes

And I <must> do something useful today.

Between cats and Solicitors, I've rather lost track of where everything is, but something-something finishing a manuscript read-through, and isn't there some sort of big fantasy event at the end of this month?

Sure I saw a post about it somewhere...

Thank you for all the messages of support for our little Pixie yesterday. She's chasing spiders, this morning, and ek-ek-ing at the birds, so it looks like she's still happy.

She's also had chicken for breakfast.

While I have my #tea.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Vet will definitely come here. Don't want her last moments to be in the scary place.

We were expecting this, to be fair, but still, she's been our friend for many years, and they always leave such a hole.
