Heads up: this website also "reviews" publishers, writer-beware-style. Lists big reliable publishers as safe, warns about many known scams, and then...

A joy to return to Coode Street for a conversation about my new novel THE FIST OF MEMORY (out tomorrow in North America!), science and mysticism, action cinema influences, connectedness and more with the super knowledgeable Gary and Jonathan.

New review - sapphic cli-fi mystery, finding a solution, scarily accurate to our times.

is true ✨🙂

Don't know who made this. But we love you for making it ❤️

Bringing this to the picket line tomorrow

Yet more outrageous BS from our tech overlords. And remember, they do this first to authors and artists. Soon they'll be doing this to everyone.

So glad for the news from Brazil and Serbia. Hoping, hoping yet to see the current protests and rising anger in India lead to a similar fate for the Modi/BJP regime.

I see the excellent Once Was Willem by MR Carey won the World Fantasy Award I strongly recomend it www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/3/...

"I was a dumbass for X, Y, Z reasons. Material reality made me see the error of my ways" is actually incredibly uplifting stuff, especially from a 25 year old with a blue collar job and a HS diploma. He was a teenager during Trump 1
