I write about werewolves, spaceships, and sometimes other things.
Was going through my photos and found some old pics of me playing in steam. I was 30 in these pics, but I've always loved playing in steam. Best part of going to railway museums: the steam.

I've been waiting talk about this for so long!! (not actually that long, but it feels like a long time. Einstein says only gravity warps time, but I reckon excitement does too). If you've ever read my writing before you'll know exactly what to expect (monsters, lesbians, overuse of the word 'fuck').

Reposting something I wrote on Tumblr because people have been asking and I don't want my whacky wee spaceship vs Dracula story to make people think my stance on this is different than it is.

THESE MARGINS THOUGH! A couple of well organised bookclubs could've swayed this election.

In the new remaster they've given Armand a beard to try and hide it and yet he looks even more like the poster than before.

But then the 'actual' Grey Fox shows up and it's just this poncy, frilly, fop with a cursed hood who hangs out on the other side at the map, doesn't actually care about the thieves, beggars, or the poor, is actually just being a creep to his ex.

No.
I refused to accept it.
I still refuse.

Mostly, this was because of the dialogue around who humiliated Hieronymus Lex years ago.

People around town, when you ask about Lex, say it was the Grey Fox who humiliated him. Armand was there, but crucially he wasn't the one who did the humiliating. en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivio...

As a kid I was convinced Armand Christophe (the thief that brings you into the thieves guild) was the Grey Fox.

I told my friends that I wrote this and they said 'we can tell'. Good thing? I think so! 😅

Some more normalish photos of Of Monsters and Mainframes' book box.
March 22, 2025 at 2:59 AM
My book box for Of Monsters and Mainframes came in the mail today and my friend took the best pictures of me waiting at the post office and ripping open the box on the scrubby grass next to the parking lot.

Adding this screenshot for posterity.

Look what arrived in the mail today!

(It's a box of ARCs, pictured here with my cardboard skull, King Harold).

Trying to find a bit of prose I KNOW I've already written by hand. Unfortunately, I am allergic to numbering/dating/organising things and I have a very particular taste in notebooks.

It's one of those days. 😅

Look what came in the mail today! I didn't think it'd be hard cover. It was only $17. I was expecting something scruffy and second hand.

Got this ask on tumblr today. It may be the best thing a reader has ever sent me.

Whenever I'm on a beach I always take a moment to make my own wee country.

Had a magical long weekend. Went to the beach, listened to triple j hottest 100, and did something evil in the game I'm writing. I'm sorry tumblr.
