There are some fine free books to download as thanks.
Four days until the cover reveal for my new sci/fi novel. I need to get on with the pages on my web site; a coming soon placeholder doesn’t really cut it.

Quite a well known magazine rejects a story because they didn't like something that very specifically didn't even happen in the story.

Looking forward to the Superb Owl tonight. Alas no New York Giants, but Bad Bunny should be fun. A reminder that the USA is not all madness, lies and cruelty. Go Seahawks.

Absolutely delighted to see First Light reviewed in the latest issue of Odyssey, the magazine for members of the British Interplanetary Society - I couldn't ask to reach a more perfect audience!

To Oxford to complete my #parkrun alphabet. The fantasy lover in me enjoyed running past the Tolkien bench.

It’ll soon by time for the Winter Olympics to start, and I can commence my quadrennial infatuation with the sport of curling.

The snowdrops are coming up in our local churchyard. As the man said, “If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”

The importance of good spelling. From the menu of a restaurant I went to today.
I didn’t do as they asked.

Got my first cover art concepts for The Twisted Road from @thelightdreams.bsky.social. Really wonderful. I felt quite emotional seeing this book and setting that's been in my head all this time rendered as an actual book cover in the real world.

My upcoming #scifi book The Twisted Road, to be published by @elsewhen.press, is going to have original cover art created by the awesome @thelightdreams.bsky.social. Very cool!

The #scifi novel I’m working on has just reached 90,000 words. With another six chapters to go, it might end up as the longest novel I’ve written.

Lots of editing and redrafting to do though…

Editing a large piece of text for someone. It confirms my “Conservation of commas” theory: people get the overall number of commas about right, but they generally don’t put them in the right places.

If you're a #writer, you'll find my W.R.I.T.E. interviews with @timhardieauthor.bsky.social @hollytinsl3y.bsky.social @simonkewin.co.uk & @derek-power-author.bsky.social worth reading. Full of insights into the authoring & publishing process.

The fantasy short
story I played around with over Christmas “for fun” came out at a shade under 10,000 words. A story combining magic and high art. Also terrible brutality and war.

My next interrogation - oops, that should read interview (using my contrived acronym W.R.I.T.E.) is with the authoring machine that is @simonkewin.co.uk - he of the hundred short stories, science fiction AND fantasy novels.
How does he do it?
Find out later this week!

I sat down to work on my #scifi novel today, and my fingers typed 1000 words of a new #fantasy short story. I let them get on with it as they seemed to know what they were doing.
