Manchester beer with a Manchester author.

I really love Manchester in general. Have you been to Affleck's Palace? I haven't been since The Before Times. I hope it's still as fantastically weird as ever.

Hope everyone's had a nice weekend so far! What are you reading/drinking?

Currently reading Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said by Philip K Dick.

It's excellent! Might do a wee write-up when I'm finished.

We are taking a break for the month of October! Time for much needed rest and recuperation.

We look forward to coming back in November with our creativity recharged and ready for the festive season!

'25 Peppercorns' is out now with @mythaxis.bsky.social.

This has been a particularly difficult story for me to publish, both personally and in finding a good home for it. It is deeply personal, but it's also political.

Currently reading and absolutely loving The Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan.

Available in the shop soon! One perk of being a secondhand bookseller is getting first dibs on the good stuff.

Also will add, I do love and will always champion life-changing, profound and interesting learning experiences in reading. But it's important to break it up, and try to stave off The Overwhelm.
