The paperback of my comedian’s guide to autism is out today! I get about a message a day saying the book helped them understand their husband/wife/child/parent or even that they have recommended the book to their client/teaching establishment!

I’d appreciate any shares! ❤️

Starting my day off with @thebugle.bsky.social and new Realms Unknown with @alicefraser.bsky.social and James Colley. I enjoyed Hyperion way back when, one of the first Dan Simmons books I read with it's three sequels going in increasingly different directions. Listen to Realms Unknown!

I have never cared for the scifi or fantasy genres, but I listen every week and it's so good! I can't guarantee I'll ever read any of the recommended books, but I am thoroughly entertained and I love the insight. Can't stop thinking about all the tropes on ropes I have beef with

As someone who travelled to the other dimension of The Last Post the year that the portal was open, it is a true honour to have my name in @alicefraser.bsky.social’s book exploring the oeuvre of D’Ancey LaGuarde. I am reading it with half a glass of water next to me at all times.

I said “I’ll sign almost anything”.

So far on tour I haven’t had to regret my words, thanks people.

#APassionforPassion @alicefraser.bsky.social. Book like its author is so funny, clever and dazzling. Here's Alice kicking off her tour @ the Bill Murray in London. Expect a delirious celebration (and fabulous piss take) of ROMANCE. Genius.💘

I just finished listening to the debut episode of Realms Unknown, the new fantasy & sci-fi podcast from @alicefraser.bsky.social and the Bugle team. It's structured like their @thegargle.bsky.social but with a nerdy bent. Engaging and entertaining, it's worth listening to.

Realms Unknown, the latest Team Bugle podcast, is excellent. Relaxed and fun and a world away from toxic sci fi fandoms. @alicefraser.bsky.social and Tom Neenan are knowledgable and convivial hosts. Very much worth a listen.
