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.

So listen, book promo feels weird now, but one of my personal highest goals as a fantasy writer is to give readers a few hours of fun escape from their troubles.
So if you're looking for that right now...I've got you.
(Plus, Moira Quirk narrates the audiobook!!!)

That Adam Roberts is not more widely known and has not won many more awards is the single most mystifying thing to me about the SF genre. In a prolific career of more than 20 years he has produced *the* most varied, thought-provoking, witty and beautifully written body of work.
