Great Hi-Vis con yesterday, thanks to Ollie and everyone who helped put the show on. Being a free entry con it meant a lot of mums with young kids were there - they're not my audience (most of my books are fairly adult), but it's wonderful to see them in attendance.

TV show idea: Mental Rentals. Every week an undercover reporter seeks out the most insanely unpleasant, most insanely expensive and generally most insane rentals on the market, punctuated by talking heads of people's craziest experiences as renters.

Huge thanks to Kieron Gillen for this review!

I picked up CHAMBERLAIN at Caption, and read over the weekend. I was both impressed and also more than a littkle shocked that it hasn't got a larger publisher yet. With its clean-line, clear storytelling and deliberate, sophisticaed purpose, it gives a vivid period portrait and is a tense thriller.

There's a review of Children of the Moon, mine and James McKay's prehistoric werewolf story, on the Awesome Comics Podcast. Thank you to the reviewers for being so positive! You can listen to it here (the review is around 1:46:00): share.google/vOWVNynErl9v...

Count Binface is not to be trifled with. For a start, he doesn't eat trifle.

My goodness, Paddy O'Connell comes across as a proper prick here. From the start calling Count Binface by the wrong name — ‘Bin’ — twice when asked not to. And then trying some sort of weird gotcha exposé on him mid interview. #newsnight

I saw this in the cinema, it's a great little low-budget indie thriller. Well worth your time.

If you missed GAME (the indie thriller I wrote the screenplay for) on its UK & Ireland cinema tour, fear not. Today it’s available to rent from all the usual places. Follow @invadafilms.bsky.social for more info.

I would like to see a spin-off of Doctor Who entirely about the Daleks after they have conquered Earth, set in one street and how all the Daleks that live on that street are constantly arguing with each other, having relationship dramas and threatening to exterminate each-other.

Yes folks, I will be there!
