Not gonna join a scheme behind a paywall just to evidence that I am two hands, two feet, one eye human. But if you wanted to know, all my work is Human Authored.

And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.

Waste collection and recycling is done by city and district councils.

Waste collection and recycling is done by city and district councils.

Send us your leaflets! We'd love to know what claims candidates are making while standing for public office. Are the parties' claims consistent across wards? Are they achievable? Do they even relate to the council for which they are standing?
We'll write it if you send us the leaflets. Email in bio.

A little overwhelmed to see โ€˜25 Peppercornsโ€™ on the BSFAโ€™s Best Short Fiction shortlist.

I cried for three days when this story came out. It meant so much to me to be able to give life to these feelings, and Iโ€™m grateful to all the readers who voted for it.

Someone told me recently they read one of my short stories and had absolutely zero clue what was going on. I enjoyed that they put the work in to get to all the way to the end to still have zero clue.

PS - most people like the book. And presales will happen soon.

Thanks ๐Ÿซ‚

But, truly, theyโ€™re entirely spot on. Itโ€™s short, the MC is complicated, and there are babies. They did a great job of seeing the book. The reader just didnโ€™t like any of it. Itโ€™s wild.

Ex Partum New mother Panya lives in the perfect environment of Blโ€ฆ

Got my first two star review on good reads. They didnโ€™t like any of the slow burn, unreliable narrator, parenting dystopia that make the book what it is. I feel like a proud mama!
