One of my fave short stories I've ever created, this one in tandem with the illustrious and masterful @dustinweaver.bsky.social. It's... The Adventures of Thing Thing: The Blue Cheese Affair.

I’ve only just learned of the existence of Australian political cartoonist Jon Kudelka, & the thing that’s brought him to my attention is the news of his death. So it goes. But I have quickly formed the opinion that he was many flavours of Good & that the world is a poorer place now for his absence.

Just spotted that Top Secret has turned up on Netflix. Had not remembered that Warren Clarke is in it. Dalziel is a nazi! Who knew?

I had the privilege of reading this early and it is VERY good. Buy and buy again and then buy some more.
Maybe I should remind everyone again that I'm extremely pleased with this book because I've been wanting to tell these stories for years, and FINALLY here they are

Just because they’re out to get you, doesn’t mean you’re not paranoid…
Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN.
