I don't really post much here anymore, but jumping in to say that preorders are now available for Imperfect Creatures! If you like your cosmic entities riddled with death anxiety, your worlds all snowy and slightly off, and the text to be all over the place, then look no further!

Listen. Have you bought "Daydreaming of Other Worlds" yet? Because Mizuki Yamamoto's story is so beautiful I had to read it out loud to my husband. And he loved it, too.

[Joe Butler (updates only) @writelikeashark]

@lmbayley It's incredible!

[Big Green Bookshop @Biggreenbooks]

RIP Jane Goodall.

What an absolute powerhouse.
