Here it comes! "The Dead Man's Empire", the long-awaited second book in the Holy Mountain series! Is it a sequel to "The Last Blade Priest"? Yes! But in theory you could read it without reading TLBP!

Not my best #BigGardenBirdwatch but not the worst for a grey day and the woodpecker made an appearance 🥰

Thank you, and to you!

Thank you!

So hope you enjoy the rest! And fab to see City of All Seasons longlisted too 😊

So delighted to see When There Are Wolves Again on the BSFA longlist and in such fab company! 😊

And really pleased to see Rose Biggin's Make-Believe and Artifice on the Best Collection longlist too - it's marvellous.

Aw, sorry to miss you, but hopefully we'll have a chance to catch up soon!

The second obvious piece of didacticism on this list, this time in the near future SF form. A hopeful but not completely unmoored vision of rewilding and climate adaptation over the 21st century from the perspective of two women involved in activism and documentary filmmaking respectively. The “oh how did anyone think land tenure was compatible with sustainability” and “as you know, we realised X was bad in 2050” bits are obvious, and a little on the nose. But it works, because Swift has an extraordinary light touch with prose and character. The end result is a moving vision of a world we could hope for if enough of us are just a little bit better than current events might suggest.

EJ Swift - When There Are Wolves Again.

Is the current moment one where we could really do with a hopeful but not implausible vision of the back half of this century? Yes. Is such a vision better if it's written in beautiful prose and with a light touch? Also yes. If you want that, read this.

Do dive in. Authors include RJB, @r-emrys.bsky.social, @aknighton.bsky.social, @isaac-fellman.bsky.social, @ginnhale.bsky.social, @jon.inkle.co, @karinlow.bsky.social, @comrademorden.bsky.social, Claire North, @blueterraplane.bsky.social, @elijahkinchspector.com, EJ Swift & @msagara.bsky.social.

Thank you so much for the Wolves mention!

Tomorrow! :)

Next Tuesday! 😊

Ahh amazing, so hope you enjoy! Will be lovely to see you next week if you make it 🥰

Sorry to be repetitive, as I know I've mentioned this before, but Blackwell's do an AMAZING deal for people outside the UK, with free international delivery: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/sea...

Nothing iffy about it. And I'm told by people who've used them that there are no extra tariffs or taxes.
