If MANY hours of fantastical escape appeal to you, with everything from traditional magic, royals and gods, to thieves, detectives, anti-heroes, shape shifters and (queer) found family... this bundle's worth a browse.
(Its even got librarians & necromancy 😉.)

This time next year, Voyager 1 will be one light-day away from Earth!
As the farthest human-made object it has reached interstellar space and it contains a message for aliens.

The world needs young people who are engaged with the world. Who speak out through art & music. Who tell the truth with art & music. Dictators throughout history have known that art is dangerous to them.
And that's why, as I said in the post, making art (of any kind) is more important than ever.

Just saw a TikTok where a girl recommended ‘never smile with your teeth’ to avoid getting smile lines and wrinkles. I hate it here.
Laugh loudly. Smile wildly. Enjoy every moment to the fullest. We only get one life and no-one is going to remember the lines on your face. Aging is a privilege.

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

I don't know why this idea is suddenly flaring up online so early, but yeah, this time next year, Voyager 1 will be one light-DAY away – meaning it will take light a whole 24 hours to travel between Earth and the spacecraft. For comparison: Mars is a few light MINUTES from Earth!

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....
