Graeme Turner was my professor during my undergraduate degree - he was a kind and generous teacher, always thoughtful and intelligent, with a lovely dry wit and a patient manner.

Vale, Professor Turner, I appreciated your guidance 🖤

A good thread about writing, idea generation, and why some idiots think an AI prompt is half the battle
kjcharleswriter.com KJ Charles @kjcharleswriter.com · 7d
I've had a few 'what do you do' convs recently, and everyone on hearing I'm an author comes out with "so how do you come up with ideas?", just like every book or movie about a writer has them staring numbly into space because they don't have an idea for the next book. And look, that is Not It.

How men feared women! she thought, walking among the late-flowering roses. Not as individuals, but women when they talked together, worked together, spoke up for one another - then men saw plots, cabals, constraints, traps being laid.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?

My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle. I have no idea how long this sale will last.

This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.
