Well Bluesky, it's time I gave an update.
For well over a year I've been working as the Narrative Lead for Don't Call Abigail, a Disco Elysium mod. Largely all my free time has been going there. Unfortunately, following some toxic disagreements in leadership, several people have left, including me.

Breaking my hibernation for a small boast.
I read a poem at the Dublin launch of Banshee (@bansheepress.bsky.social) Issue 20 last night. It was a lovely, cosy evening on a chilly night in town. The other readers were superb and I'd encourage anyone to pick up a copy, you won't be disappointed.

Had a lovely time attending the launch event last night. Got some good chuckles out of the crowd during my reading. Very welcoming crowd. And I learned that this gorgeous cover was indeed based on my story 🫣
Come join us this Thursday @booksupstairs.bsky.social to celebrate 20 issues and 10 years of @bansheepress.bsky.social ✨️ There'll be chats, readings and 🍷

Delighted to have received my contributor’s copy of @bansheepress.bsky.social’s 20th issue.
ECHOES ON THE SEA is the final piece in the anthology — a post-Lovecraftian story about failing to end the world. Many thanks to @clarakiyoko.bsky.social for her excellent edits here. I’m proud of this one.

This is the first I've heard of this story, and I have not clicked past the headline, but I am now of the very strong opinion that Dawn French should be eating Pokémon on television. This may be the strongest opinion I hold.
