When There Are Wolves Again is out in the UK today! I wrote something about the book, and keeping going, and some personal stuff I dithered over but, well, it's been A Year.

I'm so glad the book is out there and thank you so much to everyone who has supported it 🐺🤍

Happy Book Birthday to @spookypurcell.bsky.social - House of Splinters is out from Bloomsbury books

This is my current read & Purcell has recaptured the unsettling atmosphere within The Bridge Manor, the eeriness of the silent companion figures & mess with our perception of reality! Loving it!

A little off topic, but @vlatinalondon.bsky.social, author and apparent fan, has a new book out that looks pretty awesome. Among other things, she wrote one of my favorite stories in The End Of The World anthology.
