If they made movies about obscure characters in an extended Monty Python universe, I would want Ben Affleck to play Arthur โ€œTwo Shedsโ€ Jackson.

If he can't find peace here, maybe he'll find it somewhere else.

The story of Superman and the DCU continues with #Peacemaker Season 2 on August 21. Rewatch Season 1 and listen to the Official Peacemaker Podcast now on YouTube.

Between work and travel and non-fiction writing, it's been tough to find time to be creative. But I had another 50-word piece published this week. Hope you enjoy (it will take you mere seconds to read):

It fills me with great pleasure to tell you that I've twice stopped your books being chosen by my book club (approx 25 sales you'll never get) and more recently my sons school (8 sales you'll now never get).

Your descent over the last 15 years into the most lunatic recesses of the loony left, and most notably yours insitance that gay and autistic children should be free to sterilise themselves, fills me with horror and profound relief you'll never have children.

People disagreeing with you is not proof you're right.

I've received a quite fascinating email.

This person claims they've singlehandedly blocked 33 sales of my books.

Any chance I can get 34 books sold off this to annoy them?

"Sinners": A Second (Third and Fourth) Look The first time I saw Sinners , I was dazzled and numbed by its virtuosity, the bold and brazen but respectful ways it borrows from other dis...

Here's my effort to understand why "Sinners" has worked such a spell on me, and why I think it's not just the best movie of the year, but maybe the best of the decade. It's a movie that has truly stunned me every time I've seen it. #MovieSky

Remember these? Warlock, from 1984! My pal Steve found them in his loft and gave them to me. There are half a dozen of them in total. Issue one is basically the first half of The Warlock Of Firetop Mountain, but they start including news and new stories as they go on. #FightingFantasy

I certainly won't be the only person to make this comparison, but Severance tickles the same part of my brain as The Prisoner. Anyone else get the same vibes?
