Hey #adhd friends, some advice sought. I’m on a local community committee and will soon be taking on the secretary’s role. This means minuting meetings, which I haven’t done for nearly 20 years. I was also rubbish at it, because ADHD brain. Does anyone have any ADHD-friendly minute taking tips?

I’ve got to go to the mainland in two weeks time for mesh repair surgery on an umbilical hernia.

Any friends that have had this procedure done, when they say “no heavy lifting” for X amount of time how heavy are they talking? Picking up my toddler heavy, or lugging around sacks of cement heavy?

My friend Julian has set the Barr high with his latest fantastical offering, World Breaker!

Thank you for this, I’ve found so many accounts more quickly! Rather humbled to be on the list myself. ☺️

RJ’s books are wonderful. If you like fantasy then check them out, if you haven’t already.

So it looks like, with Meta’s announcement that they want to devolve into a troll factory such as Twitter has become, I’ll be spending more time here.

Here’s to a new year, full of possibility!

This year I’ll help curate and publish The Law of Mischief. The second in a series of short story anthologies, the first of which is The Law of Consequences. (Available now!)

I’m also aiming to plot and do a zero draft of a new novel this year, publishing next year. I’m not sure what yet though.

They’re available on all the big retailers, but if you sign up to my mailing list you get The Swordsman’s Intent as a free ebook. It’s also bundled with short stories that are exclusive to my newsletter subscribers.

The link to grab a free ebook is in my bio!

I currently have three books published in my Royal Champion historical fantasy series. The Swordsman’s Lament and The Swordsman’s Descent are books 1 & 2 of the main series and there’s also the prequel novella The Swordsman’s Intent.

Hello and Happy New Year to you all! I hope 2025 is kicking off well for you, and if not then things can hopefully only get better.

I thought I’d introduce myself for any newer followers. I’m Geoff, writing as G.M. White, I’m an indie author and stay-at-home dad.

Is cozy horror a thing as a genre? Asking for a friend who writes books set in the 1920s which are a cross between funny fantasy and folk horror. Figuring out where books sit in sub genres can be bloomin’ hard…

The Law of Consequences Every action has a consequence, some good, some less so, others of pure darkness… Step into a fantastical world where every choice reverberates with magic, shaping destinies in wondrous and terrify…

I'm currently starting the process of gathering authors for the next in the Law Series along with @inkbornblade.bsky.social and @gmwhitewrites.bsky.social

Last year was 'The Law of Consequences'. This year will see 'The Law of Mischief'. It's very exciting and due out in July. #newbook #booksky

Yesterday I emailed a free copy of my short story The Reluctant Necromancer of Larag-Mor as a gift to my newsletter subscribers. I’ve also updated the free ebook people get when they sign up to my list to include this story, so if you would like some free ebook goodness then consider signing up.

I have written to my MP. This seems anathema to a labour government - to explicitly deny labour compensation in favour of capital… baffling, damaging and urgent

Copyright and Artificial Intelligence This consultation seeks views on how the government can ensure the UK’s legal framework for AI and copyright supports the UK creative industries and AI sector together.

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important.

I need to be on here more often! Thank you for the feature ☺️

Me: trying to do some housework so our house doesn’t look like a complete tip.

My toddler:

For #indieadvent day 5, I give you The Swordsman's Lament, by @gmwhitewrites.bsky.social - a well-planned whodunnit with some good twists and turns. It's only a short book for a fantasy, but it's an entertaining start to the series.

Happy New Year! May your 2024 be as bright and energetic as a teething toddler at 1am. And 2am. And 3am…

In other news, I start 2024 feeling neither bright nor energetic. 😴

The Swordsman’s Lament is currently number 29 in Military Fantasy on Amazon! While the 2023 r/Fantasy Megasale ended yesterday, some books are discounted until the end of the year. Mine included! So help me keep this momentum going. (Links in my profile.)
