Hm, I knew my contract negotiating skills from work would help with things like tenancy agreements but using my skills for my RPG Monster of the Week campaign was not on my transferrable skills bingo card

@mcmansionhell @dfdunham Robert Lepage's 2011 cycle might be on DVD, is a fascinating tension between art, tech, and labour (and apparently was supposed to have a revival in 2020...)

I have one surprise middle grade project in addition to my Solaris titles and it's such a joy. If you have a young football player in your life who has been inspired by the Lionnesses, I think they'd love Rocky!

Four Mistakes Authores Make When Launchinge a New Booke
I. Winges on booke not big ynough
II. Trebuchet too small
III. Booke ys aimed at strong windes & flyeth backwarde
IV. Inadequate numbir of trumpets playinge when the trebuchet doth hurtle the booke upward ynto the cloudes

[Janny Wurts @JannyWurts]

This is a brilliant, edgy and deep read, amazing characters, great plot and so much packed into a small space.
If you never tried Karin Lowachee's books, this is a great place to start!

[Dr Amy Borsuk @bardythoughts]

Always here for verbose prose and metaphors! 🌟

[Solaris Books @Solarisbooks]

The reviews are coming in!

THE BEAR AND THE NIGHTINGALE meets POLDARK in this folkloric dark fantasy of faith, magic and belief, set in 18th century Cornwall.

Stunningly written, transporting and beguiling, GORSE by @Eythin_Trust out 12.09.24.
