Join me in York on Sunday 22nd March! Limited tickets are still available - I'll be discussing my forthcoming collection Come Sing For The Harrowing, anthology Unquiet Guests, and maybe even an unannounced project coming later this year...

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

I've been saying this for a while, but here it is in action... Reality is fragmenting around us.

Dan Coxon has us all uncomfortable at the UK Ghost Story Festival…because he’s telling us about writing dissonance.

If you're heading to Derby for the Ghost Story Festival this weekend and are looking for something to listen to, I highly recommend Will Maclean's and Joel Morris's podcast THE BROKEN VEIL. I'll be chatting with Will as part of our UNQUIET GUESTS panel, 5pm Saturday

I know it's at the other end of the country, but I can't keep my eyes from Gorton and Denton today. A rare opportunity to change the narrative of British politics, away from scaremongering and protecting big business to a focus on community and inclusion. All fingers and toes crossed.

100% this.

I'm really looking forward to the Ghost Story Festival this weekend in Derby. Here's a handy infographic of where you'll find me (two panels and workshop!), plus I'll be hanging around all day like a faint whiff of sulphur. Who else will be there?

Obviously I can't vote in the Gorton and Denton by-election, but my support is 100% behind @zackpolanski.bsky.social and Hannah Spencer. The Labour Party are looking increasingly obsolete, and Reform have increasingly shown their true colours as the party of racist and misogynistic self-interest.

This is a fantastic (and rare) insight into the realities of indie publishing. Highly recommended. Seriously, buy it now.

Oh man. Hope it stays on the 4th.
