Sometimes when I'm working from home the neighbours *really* want to know what I'm up to.

Loving the Guardian dunking on Richmond vegan sausages for exactly the reason they are easily the best veggie sausage substitutes.
"They taste exactly like a real sausage but a sausage poor plebs eat so they're obviously terrible" is fantastic Guardian snobbery.

My dad was old-school so for me the smell of Halloween will always be raw swede.
And the taste will be the swede/nutmeg/black pepper soup he made for the parents while the kids of our street ran round our yard in bin bags.

This bastard from Spearhead from Space is responsible for the mannequin fear for every British person my age I know of who has one.

Of Castaways & Castasides was Nautical/Polar horror. Naturally The Terror was an inspiration while an anecdote about the Erebus inspired the title story. Another story, based on a sea shanty, was a tribute to a late family friend. Robin Redbreast also inspired a character.

Notebooks (I always work in several at once), whatever pen is currently my favourite, and one of my various plushies to hold me accountable.
(Colin, short for Naexarog, Lord of the Abyss, is especially good at this)
I'm very old school - no apps/Scriveners/whatnots for me.

90% sure that Stumps the Toeless Wonder was magical - though whether they were my familiar or I was theirs is unclear.

The Saintstones of Strawbeck
As a medium, Brother Cleopas is perfectly placed to verify miracles. When a village boasts of an unusual number of healings, Cleopas uncovers something not the work of the Parents, but something far darker. Pilgrims, however, are unwilling not to believe.

The Annals of Calathness
The mild-mannered Br Gildas looks after the House of Calathness' most precious treasure, the secret to its success, a miracle and curse combined. But are his brethren more interested in using it for God's glory, or their own?

The Monk Who Walked With Death
Ever since he scrabbled about scavenging battlefields as a child, Adelan has been personally acquainted with death. This has its uses in his later vocation as a healer - but can his psychopomp friend protect him from accusations of heresy?

Atonement at Nerajou
A noble discovers that using necromancy to win a. War can't be atoned for just by building a monastery to house the revenants he created.
The clerics who tend to them, however, are more than happy to remind him, for many were soldiers themselves that day.

If an incompetent talking raven claimed to be your Guardian Angel, would *you* believe them? Krumi has to convince Jadoc she is, for much is at stake if she doesn't.
(Sort of based on a real Norse Saint's Saga. Yes, they had those.)
