probably my favorite illustration I did for Scholar's Codex, for the Elden Ring section @tuneandfairweather.bsky.social

"Marika bathed the village of her home in gold,
knowing full well that there was no one to heal."

Starship Alexandria is a stellar genre podcast. Emma and Adrian manage the trick of being informed and learned but also welcoming, warm and funny.

I set off from the living room sofa, through check-in, baggage, duty free… finally to take flight in the pages of a novel.

Review – Sentient by Michael Nayak Sequel to the excellent debut by Michael Nayak, Sentient continues the Antarctic horror series with a cold ruthlessness. Disturbingly accurate details about life at the isolated South Pole blend se…

"Desolate, dreadful and dark, Sentient is as much contagion horror as sci-fi chiller and as gripping as they come."

If you're a fan of horror, folk horror, folk lore, contemporary fantasy then visiting Hookland will give you chills and joy.

William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, two years before Star Trek, co-starring in an episode of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (The Project Strigas Affair, S1E9). They’re only in this one scene together.

The craft lay on its side in the mud banks, half-submerged, eaten away by rust, its metal hull staved in. Nearby a crooked sign read: VIEW THE FAMOUS SPACESHIP Β£5 ONLY. The fields were empty for miles around.

Two in touch with the end.

Duna. A teenage girl who can break mountains, on the the run with a fanatical priest, from one war to another.

In the age of LLMs, deciding to write more strongly in my own voice feels both liberating and like an act of resistance. I've decided I don't care if Reviewer 2 inevitably hates the style, I'm going to write for me.

NGL, I was a bit disappointed with the FX in Dune part 2.

IT’S WOMEN IN HORROR MONTH!
Be bold
Take up space
Ask for more money
Closed mouths don’t get fed
Follow your intuition
You are enough
Authenticity is enough
Ditch those self limiting beliefs
Do it scared
Don’t give up

"It should be you doing this."

"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."

"That's not why you were invented."

"These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise."

"They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them."

"Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."
