Only look it up if you’re very, very brave.
People are saddened by what has happened to the term ‘gooning.’
No longer does it refer to serving a higher-ranking criminal.
But I think, with just a little effort and imagination, we can combine the two meanings into something beautiful.

#amediting Bloodbath & Beyond (99% done) and @marianlthorpe.bsky.social gave me another WIP idea: an actual, proper heathen retelling of Norse lore. Because I simply don’t have enough WIPs. This is my problem. What even are four WIPs? Twenty – that’s more like it.

For gloriously intelligent, camp and oh so silly belly laughs, definitely. give Bjorn Larssen's Why Odin Drinks a read. It's the best. So good that when I first read it, I contacted Bjorn straight away to tell him as much and it turns out he's awesome. (@bjornlarssen.com)

Has it really been five years since I published my debut? Apparently so. This milestone prompted me to look back at the highlights of the last five years and what I’ve learned along the way.
