This little badboy just came out today. A YA anthology with my story, Five Second Freddy, where the superheroes can only perform their gifts for 5 seconds. Very much looking forward to the other tales in there!

I wish we could get Ireland talking about this more, farmers especially. The consequences of the AMOC collapsing are nightmare fuel for farmers.
Greenland losing 30m tonnes of ice an hour,
20% more than previously thought
This is weakening critical ocean current AMOC which is at its weakest in 1,600 years
A weakening and inevitable collapse of AMOC will hugely impact climate in Europe and beyond

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Watching "The Limey" for the first time. When asked about a regular income, "I do - I'm on the dole..." is just spectacular in the middle of an L.A. noir. 💚

The primary diff between writing fiction and nonfiction is when you write nonfic, you research a topic for 2 weeks and then write 1000 words on it and when you write fiction you research a topic for 2 weeks and get one sentence out of it.
