Excited to be close to revealling the illustrator working on the 'Mostly' deluxe edition soon.

They Mostly Come Out At Night - my dark folklore-fantasy - will be hitting @Kickstarter in a few short months...

Folks, we've managed to sort a very short pre order window for the deluxe edition of 'They Mostly Come Out At Night', in case you missed the Kickstarter last year.

The digital proof is coming along beautifully: https://t.co/RDRjDjwkaV

@UnDyrk The meeting of many beards…

Book mail!

Been waiting for this all year - can’t wait to get stuck in…

Started ‘Someone You Can Build A Nest In’ today.

Had my eye on this since first hearing about it at WorldCon last year.

That panel was suggesting this was a cozy book. One chapter in, and I’m struggling to find the ‘cozy’, but am very much enjoying the unusual set up.

@theprof722 @L_R_Schulz @sffinsiders He may have featured heavily in the notes between the artist (Antti Hakosaari) and I… 😉

New addition to the shelf! Very excited to dive in.

I also reckon this is my first book to have a sprayed pattern on the page edges. How does everyone else best show these off?

Bookshelf has been properly autumned 🍂

Look at Bond - they make a new actor into a celebration.

But what they gave us just didn’t excite me.

What a fall from grace. Season 1 was one of the few fantasy shows to break into the mainstream.

Today, even this fantasy-obsessed nerd could care less about the new season.

[Benedict Patrick @benedictpaddy]

The new trailer had so much work it needed to do.

As someone who noped out of the previous run a few episodes into season 2, a recast could’ve been the moment I might try it out again.

Loved Cavill for the role, but a new actor doesn’t need to be a deathknell.

Card Mage - my deck-building, card-battling fantasy adventure - is returning to Kickstarter!

This is still a while away, (‘Mostly’ is getting my attention now), but wanted to get word out early.

Head here to not miss updates, and to be first in line:

Today’s new addition to the new library.

No reason beyond ‘we loved it.’

[Benedict Patrick @benedictpaddy]

I’ve a newsletter coming out in a few hours, in which we get to chat about great books.

Don’t get my newsletter yet?

There’s still time! https://t.co/P1NFyfakIJ

On the third attempt at his library, I think I finally found a Joe Abercrombie book that speaks to me.

Having a lot of fun with the audiobook, especially the banter between the characters.

If James Cameron does adapt the book, I hope they lean heavily on this aspect of it.

New books! After finishing my Guards! Guards! reread, I knew I had to continue the collection…

[Benedict Patrick @benedictpaddy]

This took considerably longer than planned, but the new desk is finally up and running.

[Ben Galley @BenGalley]

I'm very proud to announce that my new short stories are now all live and available to download on Kindle!

It's hard to share a link to all 5 but hit my author profile up and you'll find them by publication date: https://t.co/e89MdQzJgL

The mess in my corner that replaced my desk is slowly being rebuilt.

Yes, this is playing hell with my work process, thanks for asking.
