16.02.2026 11:42 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0So far this morning, in two separate instances, I've found two Β£10 notes. If this keeps up, I could be quite well off by the end of the month.
If they were yours, well, can you give me the serial numbers?
Likely so.

13.02.2026 10:33 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The Faces Of The Dead is out April 7 in hardback and ebook. You can pre-order NOW (ideally from an indie bookshop), but I hope you'll catch up with Cathy Marsden and Leeds in 1944. A white-knuckle ride on every page, guaranteed. @severnhouse.bsky.social

No. But itβs a possible, if gruesome, way forward
04.02.2026 15:01 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The first time I heard this song by Chris Eckman, it left me speechless. Lyrically wonderful, the movement through the seasons, all those building moments of heartbreak without being maudlin, a soft, great chorus, it's close to perfect.

For the afternoon crowd (or morning for those in the US). Fancy a little taste of something that won't be out for a long time?
It's 1862, and the Condeferates are in Leeds...

Fancy a tiny taste of words to come (next January)?
Then read on and step back into 1862 and meet the Cofederates in Yorkshire.

Oh no, hope it goes soon
