Hi New Followers 👋
You've made a wise choice. 👍
As well as posting silliness and hope for a better world I also write books (full of silliness and hope for a better world). Start with this free book of shorts written to introduce you to the #steampunk world of Hammersmyth.

For those not familiar with this: Finland is changing their rail gauge to International from Russian. It won't accommodate Russian trains anymore. This is a physical rebuild, and expensive. Finland MEANS IT!

1529 words today, for a total of 73,872, and I got to write the scene where Mr Gigglepuss the chimpanzee threatens the blustering army captain. It was glorious, everything I had hoped it would be and more.

Another regionalised Christmas Carol, this time focusing on Victorian Leeds & the textile industry & starring Reece Dinsdale as Scrooge. Deborah McAndrew's adaptation has been staged a few times before, so not sure how radical take this Leeds Playhouse one is.

Went to the shops, so now I have a bunch of voice notes I need to transcribe, because no matter what I'm doing I'd rather be writing.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Is the answer to piracy to only sell physical media? No ebooks, just print editions bought direct from the seller?

Story Bundle has set up a great website. Easy to navigate (even though I was on my phone), simple to make purchases on, and straightforward to send to e-readers (with video instructions on how to send the books to a Kindle). Lots of ways to pay...

The Leading Ladies Fantasy Bundle:
You know how it goes. There's one female character in the book, and she's a love interest. She's given little to do and less to wear. She has no good lines, and nothing to contribute save her helplessness.
These are not those stories. storybundle.com/fantasy

I just saw a Heidi Clements video that said
“You don’t need closure, you need distance. You already know it’s over. You don’t need permission to heal. You need boundaries”
As someone who is obsessed with getting closure for so many things but never knowing how to get it, I love those words ❤️

Remember, it's only a "deal" if it's worth what they're asking. Never mind how much it was before, is it a good price now?
