What a joy to write for Peter Davison, Janet Fielding and Mark Strickson (some of the best who ever did it) and to be in a box set with @jamesmoran.com AND my wife!! We even did TWO stories for this - how excessive.

Gah, the W! That’s why I couldn’t find you! A delight to be cuddled up in the same set!

This was SO much fun to write and even MORE fun to listen to the cast recording it, particularly Janet who I threw EVERYTHING at, which she deftly handled flawlessly. I am in awe, she is an absolute queen.

Oh! And what’s this? A new 5th Doctor box set, with stories by Lauren Mooney, Stewart Pringle, and a handsome, talented writer called… oh, how embarrassing! It’s me! Mine had the working title of “Tegan Jovanka’s Bloody Annoying Groundhog Day”, so you know the vibe:

I heard that one too! They’ve done it in football for years as well, “the grand old man of the game, his final geriatric years, before he is shot out of kindness, 29 years old”

Paddington gently taking Morgan McSweeney by the hand, leading him to the afterlife
McSweeney screaming, I’m not dead, trying to break free
Paddington’s grip tightens further, the more McSweeney struggles
Paddington does not make mistakes
Once he has your hand, your time on Earth is up

Want to get a “free dad hugs” tshirt for Pride, but thought some people will be older than me so maybe “free brother hugs”- or is there a combo? Or does it matter, just showing the general idea? Any LGBTQ+ owned UK companies you’d personally recommend?

Fuck you, January. Had to be a dick one last time, didn’t you? Really sticking it in and breaking it off this year.
We’re crushed to hear that Catherine O’Hara has left us. Horror fans know her work in BEETLEJUICE and THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (as well as a memorable appearance in TALES FROM THE CRYPT), but her body of creativity beyond genre is an epic one. Our condolences to all who loved her.
