Delighted and bewildered to be an Editor at Tor UK. Big fan of geeky acronyms, including D&D, G&S, SFF.
I thought I was the only one. Though taking off one sock is a tactile joy that comes at a cost of lost socks down the side of the sofa.
The secret to happiness is to take off one sock and lay on the couch and eat berries off your belly like an otter

Started playing Clair Obscur last night and it is humbling how bad I am at dodging attacks. Beautiful game though!

It's been a real pleasure and privilege to be working on these reissues with John. I can't wait to see them in the flesh!
I am incredibly excited to announce that @panmacmillan are reprinting the Of Blood and Bone trilogy in brand new covers. Personally, I’m very happy to have some more covers that match the style and colour palette of The Faithful and the Fallen and I love how these have come out.

Boiled egg for lunch. Got yolk in keyboard and they were disappointingly underboiled. But jokes on you, I love doing a double-boil for the variation in texture.
Sorry book nerds, this is an eggs-only account now.
