Seriously, frens/enemies, if you haven't watched the chat with @misterkristoff.bsky.social yet, do so. He's one of the coolest dudes ever! Me and @petereviews.bsky.social were just blown away by how awesome it was!

Added another chapter to The Queen’s Spawn, now for some downtime. A walk, a pub, fish and chips and a chill. Doing anything good today?

Just a nudge that my entire (finished) dark fantasy trilogy featuring mechanical dragons, soul-magic, necromancer artificers and soul-vampires (did I mention believable characters) is still 99c/p each on kindle worldwide. books2read.com/DragonoftheV... #darkfantasy #fantasybooks #fantasy #books

Wrote 1st chapter of Bk5 in the TWS series, before completing final edits of Bk4 ready for Beta readers. Kind of came to me in a rush so needed to get it down. Nice to have that ‘start’ and leads on from the bone-crushing, exhilarating end to Queen’s Spawn #scifi #books books2read.com/queenspawn

Available now at your favorite digital store!

World Octopus Day, people. I know 2 books that feature octopi as main elements of the #scifi story. The superb Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky and mine👇🐙👇🐙 know any more?

Nick Snape 💙🐉⚔️🪐📚 @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social · 4d

World Octopus Day, so how better to celebrate than with a #scifi buddy cop partnership between a human and octopus? Just Press Play is a book that pushes the boundaries between darkness and dark humour, while asking what responsbilities humanity really has. #scifibook books2read.com/thescorching...
