‘You can generally find a saving grace to soften the blow of even the most sub-par entries to the Whoniverse. Conversely, even the strongest stories have some imperfection to note.

However, it’s genuinely difficult to find a single nit to pick with this.’

I can breathe a sigh of relief!

I remember the excitement of running to my local newsagent to get the latest copy of Doctor Who Weekly - never daring to dream that one day its monthly successor would review a Doctor Who story that I had written myself.

Thank God they liked it…

📚 Nice review for the last novel in my #BowmanOfTheYard series.

‘A gripping mystery… James’s writing is quite lyrical at times, making it a pleasure to read passages just for the sake of reading.’

Roses are red
Violets are blue
So says the age old rhyme.
But I know that Rose’s are blue
And Violet’s are red,
I’ve seen them hanging on the line.

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

Wait a minute... "Milo Ratter" is an anagram of Tim Treloar, who voiced that hilarious Scottish groundskeeper in @bigfinish.bsky.social's #DoctorWho and the Brain Drain! 😂

🎉 Happy Brain Drain Day to all Who celebrate!

Writing this 3rd #DoctorWho adventure was an adventure in itself. Co-written with @nickbriggs.bsky.social and with a stellar cast, all produced by Heather Challands. I couldn’t have wished for better.

Jumping Jehoshaphat!
