Hello! I'm Kerry and I'm a writer and musician.
My books explore folklore, landscape, broken families and queerness; as a composer and performer my music is a mix of choral/folk/electronica/community vibes.

Happy Hare Moon Day!
Hares are shapeshifters and liminal creatures, often spotted on the edge of fields/woodlands, changing their colour according to the season and - according to farmer lore - their gender, too. My song Hare Song 1 took all of that as inspiration:

BIGGEST PERFORMANCE EVER! Last night, 1200 kids from Camden Music performed my 'No Place Like' @royalalberthall.bsky.social. I'd worked with schools to compose new sounds, incl. 'this bus is on a diversion' & Arsenal's' North London forever...' song. Watch at 58 mins: www.youtube.com/live/FHtnedm...

Thank you so much to my fellow musician-author Claire Kohda for her words on the book! And you must all read her novel 'Woman, Eating', which has the thrilling premise of a protagonist juggling the twin nightmares of being a struggling artist and a vampire... it's ACE.

Delighted to pop into my old local, @hernehillbooks.bsky.social to sign a window copy of the paperback of #WeAreTogetherBecause! In a time of increasing, depressing narrowness of thought, they're places to expand one's views. I've learnt so much about the world from buying books in this very shop.

Meta stole my novels from a piracy site along with millions of other works to train its AI. This is illegal. UK authors on average earn £7k a year (I earn less) for their work. Meta is worth trillions.

Hi @davidpintod.bsky.social, are you aware that Meta has stolen literally millions of books to train their generative AI?
