Does anyone speak French fluently? I know some French, and I'm hoping to write some lines in French (for a memory) in a short story, but I just want to double-check that they are right

My review of #FirstDate by Gemma Amor is live on #damppebbles!

Packed to the brim with relentless, palpable tension. This is a book that will get under your skin. Engrossing, nerve-racking, and pretty darn brutal!

My contract's signed so I'm excited to announce that my story, Of Ghouls & Goulash, will be appearing in the upcoming Summer of Sci-Fi & Fantasy anthology from Worldstone!

Look out for the Kickstarter when it comes, or Memris Proge, Gentleman Necromancer, will glare sadly at you over his stew.

I’m really running up to the deadline on my stoker reading, but I highly recommend you check out “Autogas Ferryman” by @champwongs.bsky.social in @nightmare-magazine.com. Such great, satisfying work.

*FLASH SALE - TODAY ONLY*

One of those arrow-laden book promo images for Salvation Spring Image, titled Salvation Spring: Deconstructed, shows a thumbnail cover of the book in the centre, with arrows shooting off it promising: Weird West Memory loss Big twists Twin Peaks meets Blake Crouch Very sapphic Pull quote from author Ross Jeffery reads: "a western-horror Memento" SALVATION SPRING She doesn't know where she's been, these last few years, or how she came by the scars that mark her body. She can barely remember who she is, a lot of the time. But Sasha knows Salvation Spring, the tiny nowhere town out in the middle of the desert that calls to her in dreams and haunts her waking life. Getting there is hard. But what she'll find there - and what the place will ask of her - will be much, much harder. Because the Spring isn't what it seems - far from it. And neither, for that matter, is Sasha. Not by a long way.

🍃A big day today as Tir Natur, Wales' biggest (and only large) rewilding project is live. I've been critical of some rewilding projects in the past, and will continue to be where I see a need.

I'm going to try and explain why I've been volunteering to help this project, and why it's important (1/N)
