My second novel, THE KNIGHT WATCH, will be published by Orbit in June this year. It features the Knights of the Round Table killing Nazis and living their messy queer afterlives during the Second World War. I'll be sharing the wonderful cover art as soon as I'm permitted to do so.

Get this on your radar, and keep it there. It's special, and it'll be out this year. #historicalfantasy #fantasybooks

White Celtic style text on a green cloth background reads “Black Doe”. A deer-headed knife bisects the “O”. There is blood splatter.

I’ve decided that this is the year I release BLACK DOE into the wild. I still have a couple of irons in the fire, but if they fizzle out, she is ready to go. I’ve done loads of work on this book with @annasmithwrites.bsky.social at @thewriteadvice.bsky.social and I want you to be able to read it.

Cover for Mercy: A Lady's Vengeance, featuring a half-nude Mercy sitting in the grass with a revolver in her hand as a train passes by.

The latest release from Point of Impact Publishing, Mercy: A Lady's Vengeance is out today!

This lusty Adult Western has all the action you desire! Whether it's red hot passion or blazing six guns! It's got trains too!

Get it in ebook or paperback below!

Read KISAENG after GIRI. Olden greatest achievement is making that most banal of tropes - coincidence - into the plot engine.

His current Evan Ryder series is also great. Not as great as the Nicholas Linnear series, but still great.

By pure coincidence, I've a copy of Olden's KISAENG on my table right at this moment. His "Oriental" thrillers can give Eric van Lustbader's a run for their money - full of violence, martial-arts action, Eastern mystical mumbo-jumbo, and great and dirty sex scenes.

"Green’s Dictionary of Slang is the largest historical dictionary of English slang. Written by Jonathon Green over 17 years from 1993, it reached the printed page in 2010 in a three-volume set containing nearly 100,000 entries supported by over 400,000 citations from c. ad 1000 to the present day. The main focus of the dictionary is the coverage of over 500 years of slang from c. 1500 onwards. The printed version of the dictionary received the Dartmouth Medal for outstanding works of reference from the American Library Association in 2012; fellow recipients include the Dictionary of American Regional English, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, and the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. It has been hailed by the American New York Times as ‘the pièce de résistance of English slang studies’ and by the British Sunday Times as ‘a stupendous achievement, in range, meticulous scholarship, and not least entertainment value’. On this website the dictionary is now available in updated online form for the first time, complete with advanced search tools enabling search by definition and history, and an expanded bibliography of slang sources from the early modern period to the present day. Since the print edition, nearly 60,000 quotations have been added, supporting 5,000 new senses in 2,500 new entries and sub-entries, of which around half are new slang terms from the last five years."

The Wave by Julius Drawing of a wave crashing on a sand castle

I sat on the beach. I was finishing my sand castle. My mom said don’t get too close to the water

My older sister was flying a kite. I asked her she could help. But she didn’t hear me.

Right when I was t looking a wave took out my sand castle. I was crying so much all the work I put in was gone.

The book:

Yay! Thank you.

Eagerly waiting for Neon Meridian. When is it coming out?

The gang running these Conan comics are doing a bang-up job! So happy to see dedication to prose as well!

This is real, and it’s located near Tesla’s flagship London store in Tottenham.
