Novelist and short-story writer; Alaskan Brit who still says "Blimey!" and drinks tea though left Blighty over 30 years ago. Currently having a very hard time with Trump 2.0--my 2023 novel Turnback Ridge was supposed to be speculative fiction!
The hiring of bounty hunters to snatch immigrants is exactly what I depicted in my speculative novel, Turnback Ridge, written during the first Trump presidency. I never thought that it would come to pass--but apparently I was wrong. theintercept.com/2025/10/31/i...

The White House put this out today after he praised himself for "SAVING" NYC from congestion pricing and wrote "LONG LIVE THE KING." It's not like he's even trying to hide what he thinks he is.

Been in hospital since Tuesday when I slipped on the ice and fractured my hip. It sounds miserable and isn't fun, but I have had fab nurses, the food's good and had the best roomie. Hopefully going home today!

A beautiful day for a walk, and for thinking deep thoughts.
