Hello! I’m Travadlock. I write #scifi novels for young people, and when I’m not busy #writing, I like to #travel on my old motorcycle. Terrenci, the protagonist of my novels, accompanies me both in the fictional world and in our own. Join us on our travels, real and imaginary!

@CBethAnderson Can you do us a Christmas tree to get the festive spirit going. It is September after all.

@AmorphusCloud It is a good start.

@FisWritingHaven Beats the towel roll I usually grab for.

[Travadlock @travadlock]

@castlemantra @FisWritingHaven Welcome back to Twittersphere.
Scifantasy writer. Soft edge of sci-fi with the sharp tang of fantasy. Still baking the courage to publish.

[Travadlock @travadlock]

@FisWritingHaven So what qualities does an ARC reader require, and how do they vary from a Beta reader?

[Travadlock @travadlock]

@MacDibble The programme turned out to be a spoof about human meat donation to highlight the food cost crisis in the UK.
I will happily continue with my meat free diet, but an alternative for those who prefer not must be found. Altruism won't cut it alone.

[Travadlock @travadlock]

@MacDibble There is a programme I plan to watch about meat produced synthetically in a commercial production facility.

If people who love their meat too much to give it up could be persuaded to eat man the made version, that would solve the problem. I will post the link when I get it.

@garethlpowell Fight,fight, fight.

I am not one to share trivia but...
Here is my conversation with ChatGPT this morning.

Wonderful. Good morning Tiddles.

@IrishRainforest @MacDibble Yes, industrial chemical based farming has been deviating - but there is hope. A program in a region of Germany, where they introduced natural plant oasis, linked by uncultivated vegetation highways, the insect population recovered dramatically.

[Travadlock @travadlock]

@MacDibble Fantastic news Bren, the very best of luck with the award.

[Travadlock @travadlock]

@garethlpowell But later when you are at your laptop can you read the soggy reminder note?
Almost as tricky are the notes written in the early dark hours, so you don't disturb your sleeping wife.

[Travadlock @travadlock]

@MacDibble Sadly Bren, jt appears to me it is growing.
Looking over the span of my life I consider if it was the golden period for humanity.
Coupled to the rise of authoritarianism is climate catastrophe, and the growing realisation of the exotenial threat of AI.
Glad I am not young.
