I take a lot of photos of my dog. This morning’s effort is one of my better ones!

And today, two rights do make two pairs of reunited socks. Hoorah!

I will cherish many things about this wonderful book by @nnedi.bsky.social, but as a failing writer, this line is one I will come back to: “Those moments of failure were a learning experience for me in finding and trusting my own voice.” ❤️🤖🦾 #writerslife

I'm so happy that "The Stars That Bind Us" found a wonderful home at NewMyths Online!

I almost gave up on this story, but feedback and rejections shaped it into something better.

Fitting, maybe, for a tale about enduring love. ✨

Read it for free here:

✨ Even after 80+ rejections, I knew this story was not destined for the trunk but for the stars ✨

Check out 'The Stars That Bind Us' in the latest edition of New Myths (with some stunning artwork from Alexander Limarev): sites.google.com/newmyths.com... #amwriting #writer #scifi

When the forces of nice weather and on-time buses align, I enjoy getting off a stop early and walking along silent #Cambridge streets to the office. I was particularly happy to see the mathematical bridge was wearing a fine spring coat at about 7am this morning 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Hmmm, my new scarf might not be of the quality I wanted… and/or make my hair look 1980s chic?!

It makes my ❤️ sing to see my words in print. 🙏 to Luna Station Quarterly for publishing “Run time” - one of my darkest pieces that I never thought would see the light of day: www.lunastationquarterly.com/issues/060/ @lunastation.bsky.social

Guess the #Cambridge college 🎅😅

What if corrupt politicians had the means to rule indefinitely?

I wrote this #scifi story long before the US election - but it now feels more relevant than ever: www.lunastationquarterly.com/issues/060/

❤️ the formatting from the brilliant team at Luna Station Quarterly too!
