Irish. Pass-remarkable. Here for speculative fiction, hero-less comics, dice games, audio dramas and sundry geekery. Scribbler.
SLAY!

Bumping up this upcoming release again, and my story in it. These books are so beatiful, the author lineup is particularly stellar, and @marieoregan.bsky.social and @paulkane.bsky.social have curated and perfected the stories masterfully.

Ok. Social media break, at least for a few weeks. I spent most of today with excellent humans and I’m gonna focus on that for a bit. If you’re at @gaelcon this year, come play with me. If you know my email, shout me. But if you must stay here, know that you are missed elsewhere.

I would not use it at my job
I would not let it email Bob
It would not write my resume
It would not text my mom, OK?
It can't say if the Chiefs will cover
I do not want it as a lover
I do not want it in my phone

Please, can every writer check this and claim what’s theirs. OpenAI is an existential threat.
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

‘There’s something for everyone in these stories!’

‘Every single one of these short stories was 4 or 5 stars for me.’

‘Perfectly captured the vibe it promised; academic, creeping, tense, and dark.’

So, having reviewed the various candidates, The Traitors Ireland is—even just three episodes in—an order of magnitude better than the earlier versions from the UK, US and Australia. Hats off to all involved. Siobhán McSweeney for Áras an Uachtaráin.
