Things I experienced writing 'A Shadow Over Haven'... Flu, pneumonia, dental surgery x 2, infection, deep autistic burnout, depression, a major health scare, 1 x ultrasound, 1 x MRI, 1 x CT scan, and having another book out on submission. Anyway, somehow, it's out today. Enjoy!

👌

Be our guest, be our guest… Don’t mind if I do!!

Whenever I'm feeling down, I take a look at the cover of this version of The Hobbit.

Love that fox, though 🦊

It turns out I have space for a developmental/structural edit in the next few weeks - please feel free to get in touch (but be quick)! foxtalesediting.com

The new indie book is going down quite well so far 🧐

Let's be clear here: Aliette de Bodard (hiatus) deserves to win a #HugoAward. Her works of fiction have been on the shortlist 11 times. That's the most of anyone who has yet to win. Aliette de Bodard is overdue for a win. Blog Post: hugoclub.blogspot.com/2024/09/aliett…

My little artist picking up is award this morning ❤️

Okay guys so I’m starting TikTok again. Can’t get into my last account (where I hadn’t posted anything) because TikTok fell out with Twitter and apparently this is a problem 😄 d.rama! Anyway, if you’re there, follow me @inkyempen - I’ve already got a few videos up!

I've sent *so* many emails over the last few days... 🫠 #Fantasycon

We're so excited to be able to share the Fantasycon programme with you all! Hop over to the website to take a look and start planning which panels are your must-sees: britishfantasysociety.org/the-fantasycon…

Happy 47th birthday to The Silmarillion!

Monday mood.

Okay, I need to stop procrastinating and get off Writers' Depression Island (trademark pending). This book about a therapist for D&D-style adventurers isn't going to write itself... Or maybe it will 🧙

Nice 🙌
