Ha! I do like the little call-backs in Stranger Things, to be picked up on a second watch. In series four, when Robin screams at Eddie that they need music, and he brandishes a cassette tape at her, yelling "This is music!" that album is Piece of Mind by Iron Maiden.

Please God, don't nag authors about their books!

I mean, it's not as though ANYONE responds well to nagging at the best of times 🤣
I see it’s that time of the month when everyone starts asking when certain authors are going to release books that are way overdue (in their opinion). The answer is never. It’s never happening, read something else.

Most skating terms are a little out there, but imagine having a new Pairs duo on the ice in front of you and telling them they'll now be learning the DEATH SPIRAL

I like to think I'd be good on The Traitors but if I was selected I would fuck it up before the blindfold came off. Claudia would squeeze me on the shoulder, I would immediately scream "I'M A TRAITOR I'M SORRY" and throw up right on the round table as a moody version of "Oops I Did It Again" plays
January 15, 2026 at 9:43 PM
Damn, will be missing Traitors tomorrow! I mean, it is to go out and watch Biffy Clyro, so it's not awful but it'll be a social media blackout for me until I can watch 🤣

Buy and read this book. You WILL enjoy it.
Oh gawd it's January, which means my book is coming out in paperback on the 29th! Waterstones are doing an exclusive edition with red edges, a prequel chapter AND the first chapter of the sequel, The Hoard and can be pre-ordered THUSLY: www.waterstones.com/book/pagans/...

This outstanding novel is now released in the UK, so run don't walk to pick up a copy 😁
✨Asunder is out in the UK today!✨

Shortlisted for the Nebula and Locus Awards, it’s a fantasy about a woman hellbent on survival…and the talkative man she accidentally binds to her shadow.*

*She was trying to extort him, one thing led to another.

My favourite corrections to find in novels on a last pass are homophones, because it still feels like such a human thing to identify. And because sometimes they amuse me, such as bells peeling.

Turns out GW is lore compliant!

More seriously, this is a creative win, with no weaselling about future use. Just a straight up no, because it's a bit rubbish, isn't it?

The gay rams are gonna live rent free in my head
One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

Maybe they should pledge to start a criminal investigation into the actions of X within the UK, given the fact this organisation is generating and distributing child porn?
