Hello fine folks. My latest novel, the weird-assed space opera, Project Hanuman, is on the BSFA longlist. If you're a member could I ask that you consider voting for it in the best novel category?
You should also vote for a bunch of other stuff :-)

I had a great time with @gavingsmith.bsky.social’s ALIEN CULT, which starts as a cool future noir, then becomes a frontier western, and then all hell breaks loose. A really entertaining and engaging read. Highly recommended.

It's been out almost two months but I wanted to re-up my timeline with some Project Hanuman love. You can find it at all your bookstores and in audio too.
I'll leave you with what @gavingsmith.bsky.social thought of it.

Thanks to Mark for this opportunity! Have a watch/listen to hear me talking about writing in the Alien universe, writing in general and Christmas films, whilst quite ill (I recall being faintly hysterical).
On the latest episode of Creative Differences, @Gavin G Smith discusses ALIEN CULT, his new novel set in the Alien universe, and why it's more important than ever for authors to value their work.

You still have two weeks (well almost) to get Romanitas for 99p!
It's hard to believe, but 2025 means Romanitas has been in print for 20 years. A modern world where the Roman Empire never fell. If that sounds good to you, the ebook's just £0.99 for the anniversary all this month! www.amazon.co.uk/Romanitas-1-...

Lovely review of Project Hanuman here:
You never want to plagiarise but my gods I'm putting a lot of effort into not using "It rains, you get wet." in current project. Such a concise way to sum up the consequences of violence. I suspect @oneblakeminute.bsky.social knows what I'm talking about.

I have a very strong memory of D&D being banned in Inverness at some point in the 1980s because of the Satanic Panic but I can find nothing online about it. Can anyone else remember anything about this? Points if you know of any sources on the matter.
