Hard to believe I've barely recovered from our UK trip and I'm off to Calgary in less than a week for When Words Collide. I *think* I'm ready. Keynote written and practiced, class slidedecks all prepped. Packing list made. It's way to early to feel ready, I must be missing something.

😂 I mean I do get a wee endorphin rush when I jab the block button

No… i always automatically block them!

I’m sure some people who automatically instant message me when I follow them back are not scammers but probably most are.

Okay, let's make a pact to at least take two more pics than we did this year. LOL

This might be the only pic of me from the whole festival! Why did i fail to get pictures again!

Cannot wait to present at this festival along with one of my favourite writers, even though @premeemohamed.com does not fully honour the royalty of sir Fiascocat.

Cat = perfection. Also presenting at the same festival as you is beyond awesome!

That was such an incredible night!

My #ShamelessPromo for #SpoonieAuthChat is the upcoming release of Speculative Shorts: Stories that fell out of my brain! Foreword by Derek Newman-Stille with blurbs from @kateheartfield.com, @finnwritesstuff.bsky.social, @jamiesonwolf.bsky.social, and @diannalgunn.bsky.social!

Me with my sweet wife in Pitlochry Scotland

The rain was only a mist!

Ahhh love this!

It was so very great to see you again! I love your writing (and you!)

Awwww I love his wee face! Can’t wait to see you next year!

Matt thank you! I got your email but I’m on holidays and forgetting to answer all emails! ❤️

Omg lol

Last workshop of the whole festival - here with the lovely instructor Michael Loveday to talk about the novella-in-flash.

You being here would make this perfect

OMG that is amazing! We were just in Brighton before the festival. Sorry to miss you by a couple days

We miss you so much

Just gave a class on emotional resonance in flash - the participants loved the excellent stories by @sgscarso.bsky.social and @sharontelfer.bsky.social we analyzed in class.

Am having a blast at the flash fiction festival!

The feeling is more than mutual!

I loved getting to take part in this fun interview!

Staring into space while one word flits through your brain for like two full weeks.

So excited for this issue of Pulp Literature! I mean, I'm always excited for every issue, but this time, my talented wife @augustvstralen.bsky.social is on the cover!
