Tony is a well-respected colleague, a KC and a former legal advisor to the EHRC. Having spoken to constituents and University of Reading students who are concerned about the impact of this guidance, I'm glad to have signed Tony's letter.

I have written a letter to the EHRC to urgently raise concerns about the Draft Code of Practice consultation after the ruling. I am proud to say that 32 of my colleagues have signed it too.

6 years since we originally released Heaven’s Vault 😱
And now there’s a third book on the way! 📕
And now there’s a third book on the way! 📕
On April 16th, 2019, we released Heaven's Vault.
Today, we're thrilled to announce we're returning to the Nebula to continue the story.
Based on our original notes for an unmade sequel, "The Flood" is a new novel that continues from where the game, and the previous books, left off.

I hope everybody can find one or two small dev teams whose work they support sight unseen. Inkle's one of mine -- 80 Days essentially earned them a decade plus of day-one purchases, and I've yet to be disappointed.

When I complained to Theodore Sturgeon about trouble I was having with a scene, he looked at me and said,
"I give you permission to do it wrong."
Most liberating thing I ever heard.

Sending love out to every author who learned that their publisher’s marketing plan for their new book was to have an intern visit a remote woodland in winter, dig a hole in the frozen earth, and whisper their book’s title once, ‘neath the crescent moon.

OK I really need to update this right now because as well as the below, Service Model is up for the audiobook category and, you know, I also *narrated* that one. So however well it does, it's lovely to get that recognition.
Delighted to find that Alien Clay is on the list for the Discover Sfi-Fi awards. This is a reader-voted award and you can take at look at the list here discoverscifi.com/the-best-sci... There are some excellent names there.

This is how you write a book: big sex frog, demon in a little hat, ghost jail, leg monster, bug tongues, fish tequila. It's not that hard.
