When There Are Wolves Again is out in the UK today! I wrote something about the book, and keeping going, and some personal stuff I dithered over but, well, it's been A Year.

I'm so glad the book is out there and thank you so much to everyone who has supported it 🐺🀍

So, the next book to read will be The Blackfire Blade by James Logan. This is book 2 in the series. I'll be reading an eARC, which I received from Netgalley. I hope that it's as good as The Silverblood Promise. And, if it is, I'll need to get a paperback copy of it. πŸ˜€ @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social

This is a beautiful novel that charts the lives and experiences of two women across past, present and future as they fight for our environment's future. Heartbreaking but ultimately - and importantly - hopeful. Also, wolves. 🐺

Confirming E. J. Swift’s standing as a writer of urgent, beautifully crafted eco-fiction... I’m left with a much-needed feeling of optimism.

New Adventures in Hi-Fi is the best REM album and that is a hill I will - if not die on - at least put up a very stubborn defence before reluctantly retreating. (Also, I agree about Losing My Religion. I'm not sure it would even make my top 20 REM songs.)

I found that sending the manuscript to my Kindle and reading it on there really helps me spot passages that don't work, along with continuity errors and typos. I also print the first pass out (when it's typeset after the copy edit) and read it out loud. Slow and tedious, but hugely valuable.

I feel like a similar rule exists for forks. Like, I would rather eat my dinner with my bare hands than use the weird fork in the drawer that is a bit too small and has a strange engraving on it

Space Wolves Codex 2nd edition. I 'read' it in a silent reading English lesson and got thrown out by the supply teacher who called it - and I quote - 'perverted rubbish'. Anyway, I've had a fifteen-year editorial career publishing 'perverted rubbish' and now I write it, too. So I guess I win.

If you haven't read this one you just gotta, there's been so much dragon fantasy lately and so much of it is mid, but this book is so good and so cool and made me go "oh fuck yeah" so many times
