Finally got the shitty AI-generated book marketing spam email that all the proper authors have been getting. Feels like I’ve made it.

I’m reading Exterminate! Regenerate!, John Higgs’s new book about Doctor Who, and it is, as is usual with John Higgs books, great. This quote from Russell T. Davies just made me laugh out loud.

Played
@panic.com @coalsupper.bsky.social ‘Thank Goodness You’re Here’ a couple of months ago. After finishing it, it gave you an address to send off to. Today I got this lovely iron on patch in the post.
Loved this game - set in a Northern British town, with voices by Matt Berry.

I went to my Goodreads author page for the first time in YEARS and found that a reader has ‘quoted’ my book. Which is lovely, but… this quote??? (It appears on the road to Hell, which is literally paved with good intentions). Out of context it sounds like I’m bellowing rejected lyrics to ‘Faster’.

Turns out Goya predicted the Trump assassination attempt in 1822.
