Writer, reader, gamer, crisp eater.
Features like this are weird. I used to work in the food hall at M&S, but I wouldn't use that fact to presume a position of authority on what the best sandwiches ever are.

When you get invested in a TV show, series one ends on a cliffhanger, then you find out it's not getting a series 2.

Goodbye Sadie. Your flame burned short, but so bright. The mice and birds round here won't miss you at all, but we will. Sleep well.

Well, this one's gonna stay with me for ages. The most disturbing, dark, brilliant book I've read in a good while.

Look at the difference in covers between autobiographies by men and those by women. Look how tedious and serious the men's books are, with their grey and black colour schemes. I'm not afraid to read a book with a bit of fucking orange on the cover. But presumably publishers think most men are. Sigh.

Each year, the Christmas decorations go up in my local Spar and they think, 'sod it, break out the Easter chocolate'. I sigh inwardly each time, curse their ridiculousness, and then buy Mini Eggs.

Excited to receive my copy of Hunger, this awesome anthology from @urbanpigspress.bsky.social, featuring my story A Clownward Spiral and loads of other amazing tales. Every copy sold raises money for food banks, a fantastic cause - get yours here: www.amazon.co.uk/Hunger-antho...

We took Teengoth on a Prison Tour. They gave her 25 years without parole. Oh, well.

Lovely to feature in the beautiful final edition of @ellipsiszine.bsky.social with loads of incredible writers.

A story I wrote seven years ago (!) has finally found a home! The Pig That Watched The Apocalypse is now live at The Odd Magazine. A cool way to start the year!

100% recommended, but I'll never be able to go near any puppet ever again. #books
