A Symbol of a Memory, single story, out now on @nightjarpress. £3, signed and numbered, only 200 copies in existence. Bargain.

The story is an exploration into an act of self-immolation and the perception of the event from different perspectives. That's what I've heard, anyway.

BOOK GIVEAWAY
I'm doing a (sort of) raffle where the winner will get a paperback copy of The Bygones. All you have to do is guess what page I'll be at in my current read by 9pm tomorrow and the closest to the correct page will win a book. Details below 👇

Publication design for Low Light Magazine as part of Hi vis Press Collective. I loved working with this monochrome & red scheme 👌 Also a pleasure to work with some brilliant artists & writers

Stumbled upon this @LeftLion review of @Hi_VisPress Low Light Magazine and the classic launch nights we were famous for. So proud of what we achieved with Hi Vis over the years. It truly was an alternative to the often mundane literary norm.

Here's the upbeat, non-posey version. The 'Look at me books, I bet you wanna read one, don't ya' pictures. I bet you do though. Go on. Treat yer sen.

[Jim Gibson @jimmmmmbo]

Got my author copies through from @TangerinePress yesterday. I can't express how grateful and excited I am to have this collection out in the world. My advice is to keep sticking to your own thing and don't give a fuck what everyone else is doing.

The Bygones official trailer.

Tell me that this don't tickle your fancy.

Launch night/party next Saturday (29th), Chameleon Arts Cafe, Notts, 6pm onwards!

[Jim Gibson @jimmmmmbo]

The feedback for The Bygones has been unbelievable. DBC Pierre is a writer whose work has always inspired me so the fact that he read my book and enjoyed it is really mindboggling. Thanks also to @ariannareiche for the great review, I look forward to reading your novel next year.

Never shared this poem because it's so personal and I like to keep my writing in an imaginary world but I wrote it and showed the 2 women and they've both had it up in there houses for years now. I just felt it was time to share: typos and all.
Here are the legends at my wedding.

Some say the wood wakes in the March sun. This is a fallacy, for the wood never sleeps. It is a constancy of watching spirits. - #CLNolan
