The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

They're panicking.

Don't. Stop. Calling.

Just picked up Ancestral Night by Elizabeth Bear. Been needing some more sci-fi in my life 😄

Em's bad year support fund Our dear Emma Newman is having a shite year. First she broke her ankle walking on flat pavement, now she's got breast cancer fucking up her life. The broken bone put her out of commission for almost t...

If, like me, you don't have money atm, if you have read and enjoyed any of my books, please can you tell people about them?

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because typing, "Hey hon, gonna be late tonight, lol," yourself is just too much work.

These days, make sure you're really buying what you want to buy online. Also, if you see news that a favourite author has written something unexpected, unless that comes verifiably direct from them or their publisher, double and triple check that it isn't one of these increasingly prevalent frauds.

I do this too XD

A screenshot of the title and blurb of an AI generated book passing itself off as written by Sam Blake. There are no reviews which is something of a relief

For anyone who got a notification that I've written a dark romantasy trilogy (this is book 1) - I haven't. Please don't buy any of them.
