My wonderful publisher, Fly On The Wall Press @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social will be open to submissions soon. Nice Things, my debut story collection coming out with them in Dec, was chosen from open submission. They’ve been great to work with: efficient, communicative & knowledgable. I recommend!

The @hatchards.bsky.social website reminds me of chocolate! :D And a preorder of @johnironmonger.bsky.social 's The Angel of St Piran would indeed be a treat...

A life-affirming novel of an idealistic young student and a dangerous family of wild chimpanzees.
