All ‘moor, no snore.
If you buy a copy of my nineties, gothic, cat-lady novel ‘The Cat Bride’, you are supporting independent publishing.

If you have bought it - thank you! - even better, read it! See what you think…

Perhaps leave a review! It helps so much if there is no massive marketing budget to prop it up. X

Made a badge out of some amazing wisdom @jolloyds.bsky.social once offered me.

Advice for life, not just paras.

(Should obviously have cited her as the source. It is v tiny badge tho.)

“A WOMAN’S PLACE IS IN THE HAUNTED HOME” was described by J C Oates, here, in these very hallowed character counts, as an “absolutely original & delightful; a most unique (sic!) ghost story for our time.”

Available now in The Best Weird Fiction of the Year from @undertow.bsky.social

“Genre horror … takes aim at the presuppositions of philosophical inquiry… and makes of those blind spots its central concern.”

One demon essay in and I have been introduced to Ulver’s Madrigal and Ildjarn’s Forest Poetry as well as Keijo Haino.

Tuesday morning, you have delivered.

I need your best list of vintage children’s illness lit. I don’t want to sound like a pedant but you can’t include Tom’s Midnight Garden because he was fine, the brother had the measles. Did you ever see the horrifyingly sickly film of THIS?

Thanks to @jolloyds.bsky.social for recommending this.

Loved it like I love Kelly Link and Sarah Pinsker (perhaps also one for @giselleleeb.bsky.social )

Yes, I do feel like I invented ‘the omelette’.

But, in case I have not already told you, if you oven bake a big one then shove in fridge, you can be eating that fellow for breakfast all week long, friends

“Chapter 1

My mother died when I was born which makes me sound Princess-like and rather quaint.”

Re-reading a favourite book, in memoriam.

Hello, I have a strange book out in two weeks, The Cat Bride, with Salt. It’s about cats, and the nineties. Sort of.

My short fiction is all over the place but most recently in Conjunctions, The London Magazine and 3:AM Magazine.
