I don't just do re-reads, and Alastair Humphreys new book just landed on my e-reader. Great read, lots of good ideas.
I am making plans for when the weather gets better.

Getting ready to start my traditional even-year re-read of Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun (odd-years are dedicated to the Mervyn Peake Gormenghast books).
I'll try and find somewhere to post my progress and observations (suggestions welcome).

My version of this was the teacher that, on my graduation, reading my paper, observed "You can't write this. You are a student, not a writer. I could give this an A+ or a F, so it's an F for me."

And laugh.

I'm gearing up for an Arabian Nights deep dive I'll be doing on my Patron in November. Going through Sinbad right now.
And meanwhile, this afternoon I'll start on The Best of Roger Zelazny.

Let's try this: my latest novel, Dreams of Fire, is out now in the UK, in paperback, ebook and audiobook.
Published by Aconyte Books and part of the Descent franchise.

And a great cover.
Check it out, if you will.
