Getting ready for a day without power. One of the perils of living out in the middle of nowhere is that no power = no water, because our borehole stops pumping without it. But at least we know in advance, so we now have a selection of filled jugs and pans everywhere!

The illustrated cover for the novel The Goldstone Tower by Amy Sanderson, which features a hooded figure facing towards a mysterious tower of pale stone. The tagline reads: 'One druid. One monster hunter. And one mysterious tower in a fabled land that shouldn't exist. What could possibly go wrong?'

This is also the first time ever that The Goldstone Tower, the second book in my Moonruin Saga high fantasy adventure, has been on sale. It's 99p all weekend - and the first book, The Last Archdruid, is the same!

An illustrated banner with the text 'Indie Book Sale, indiebook.sale, Fantasy Sci-Fi and Horror, August 23-25'. Illustrations include a dragon, a trio of skulls, and a planet surrounded by stars.

Friday again

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

Writing is funny because both my biggest brightest dream and stomach churning dread is having people read my book.

Rushed out to take photos of the fog as soon as I got up this morning. I have no strong feelings about the coming of autumn (unlike most of the internet, it seems), but I do love a bit of atmosphere!

“We’re So Screwed”: Some Thoughts on Farscape, Heroes and Bad Plans Rygel: This is madness.Crichton: Could be genius, Sparky. You know there’s a very fine line between the two.Rygel: Geniuses make plans. Crichton: “That’s your plan? Wile E. Coyote…

"It’s not surprising that Farscape resonates with me right now. We are, in the words of astrophysicist and astronaut John Crichton, so screwed."

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿
I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮

For some reason, half my Discover feed this morning is shoebills, which turns out to be weirdly relaxing.

Personal Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Introvert. Its five-year mission: to hide from strange, new worlds, to avoid talking to new life, to ignore new civilizations, and to boldly go where no other man can find us.

I'm 9000 words into a horror/fantasy novella and I just got to write a scene full of skeletal hands bursting out of the floor. I don't know what it says about me, but I'm truly having the time of my life!
