That Suzanne Collins gets about - she's emailed me twice in the last month.

Funnily enough, I did try and reach out a while back when I was looking for blurbs/quotes but got nowhere.

I'm not saying it's my fault, but First Mage On The Moon launches on April 14th so an April launch date for Artemis II would work very well for me.

I've just finished a creepy movie called The Borderlands about a team off to investigate a crumbling church where weird things are happening. I've a love-hate relationship with found-footage movies, but this one is well done, and feels packed with hidden folklore.

We just watched that this morning. I'm always here for all things unhinged.

She was also totally wasted after they had been left waiting for ages.

I think it suffered from previous Predator films (except the first one, and Prey) being utter pants.

Dredd was awesome too. I suspect Badlands will do very well on streaming.

All of that made perfect sense too based on what we already knew of them. I do like when they don't pointlessly try and 'reboot' things.

Oddly touching found family aspect for an alien action film too. I wasn't expecting that.

Same for me! And yes, easily the next best films.

Well, Predator Badlands was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed that.

I've been watching my way through Evil and thoroughly enjoyed it and its delightfully kooky demons. Alas, all good things come to an end, and it's a shame there was no season 5.

Oho, it looks like the Waterstones link for my book launch event on 16th April in Glasgow with @rtorrubia.com and @caileansteed.bsky.social has gone live. All of a sudden the launch date for FIRST MAGE ON THE MOON seems scarily close!

Thanks for such a fun event! Now I want to see Felts!!! Get cracking!
