We need this! But waiting for good things to happen without helping out is like waiting for cancelled trains.
The @khoreo.bsky.social fundraiser has been going for just over a week and we're less than a quarter funded. Social media feels like yelling into the void more than ever: if you can give us a boost, it would be deeply appreciated 💚

Londoners! Don't forget Super Relaxed Fantasy Club next Tuesday at the Star of Kings near King's Cross, from 7pm. Featuring me & @stevemchugh.bsky.social reading from our latest books and talking all things writing. While we *can* just talk to ourselves and each other, we'd love to talk to you, too.
I'll be back at Super Relaxed Fantasy Club @srfantasyclub.bsky.social at Star of Kings pub, King's Cross, on 13 Feb to talk about the Songs of the Drowned trilogy, with book 3 published 28 March (pre-orders open). I'll be joined by the excellent @stevemchugh.bsky.social. Hope to see you there!

I like this new place. And so many people here already, which is good - and everybody seems active, too, which had become an issue elsewhere. Time moves on, and so do we, I guess.

New here so this is a 'hello' post. Looking for a sane alternative to the other place. Amongst other things I write science fiction (and sometimes fantasy) and edit Wyldblood Magazine. Also I run (probably too much), am obsessed with politics and have a day job as an educator.
