Happy Didn’t-Get-Released-Today-Because-Reasons to The Peculiar Journey of Cecil Tabiner.

In a parallel universe, I would’ve been celebrating the release of the book that I’d spent the year promoting…

But alas, it wasn’t meant to be 🤷🏼‍♂️

So what’s next for the book in this universe? 🤔

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

Day 8: What I love the most about writing a novel is the surprise moments or characters that appear in the story, even after a thorough plan. The character I’ve introduced, who is a friend of the protagonist, is so much fun to write that I can’t believe I didn’t come up with him already 😋

Day 7: I decided to add a character yesterday that had come into my head almost fully formed. Today, I introduced him and I already know I’m going to enjoy writing this non-human person.

Hey scribblers!

We don't often run events in London because of train £ - and this festival unfortunately leaves all marketing to its authors and publishers - so if you are wanting to join us in Camden Sun 15th, could you adv book so we can assess if to go ahead?

I hope you're hungry for Katie Huttlestone's debut novel A HEALTHY APPETITE 💊 A deliciously dark story about Hannah; lifelong veggie, chronically ill, and given the chance to participate in an experimental drug trial that'll give her back her taste for life.

And with it, a ceaseless hunger...

This Friday, as part of @yorklitfest.bsky.social two fabulous Cli Fi writers, @johnironmonger.bsky.social and @amylilwall.bsky.social will be presenting a talk about Climate Fiction and the future of the planet. It looks great!

Day 6: And I’m back! Writing this book is the distraction I sorely need right now. The chapter took a different turn tomorrow so I think I’ll have to revisit it tomorrow and expand the idea, but that’s all part of the fun!

It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.

Under a Reform UK government, only British citizens will be able to vote. FARAGE: Letting non-British citizens vote in UK threatens democracy

Farage and Reform are bad losers.

Their failure to secure the seat was down to the vast majority of voters roundly rejecting their hate because Gorton and Denton is a progressive place.

68% of voters in the constituency voted Green, Labour or Lib Dem.

Don't let them use lies to twist the truth.

The President of Peace has gone to War twice in 2026 and it’s not even March. The world is teetering on the edge of chaos because Trumpism is running amok, grabbing oil and land to concentrate wealth even further into the hands of about 100 people 😡

Trumpism is a blight on humanity and the fact that Reform want to replicate it here shows what they’re all about. They are bought and paid for by American Right wing interests. They will sell us down the river if they ever grift and lie their way into power.

No half-sentient person would trust Trump with a barbecue, and here we are watching him start a war to distract from his weapons grade depravity & incompetence.
