Greg Greene @igreggreene.bsky.social · 7h

Tor Nightfire does Stephen Graham Jones readers a solid, releasing a freshly designed edition of his novella NIGHT OF THE MANNEQUINS on Feb 24! The trouble starts where I suspect a lot of @sgj.bsky.social's best trouble does: at the movies🍿 Preorder now! bookshop.org/p/books/nigh...

So close to being done* with this current book, HER TURN NOW.

My 20th book!

I've written about so much horrible shit, I think it's time to write that cosy small-town romance I've been circling for years.
Question is whether to use a pen name...

*are they ever truly done?

I know he's my kid, so take it with a grain of salt if you wanna, but KING SORROW is one of the best terror tomes I've ever read. It's the GONE WITH THE WIND of horror! 🎃

I thought it was excellent. I wish it had been longer.

Not forgetting the excellent DOCTOR SLEEP (Netflix in the US).

While I'm here, I'd love a sequel to the novel so that we can find out what Abra is up to...

Greatest song intro? I’m going to go with “Pappa was a Rollin’ Stone” by the Temptations

Condiment Udders.

Another new band name for @daytonward.bsky.social ?

Tony Healey @tonyhealey.com · 10d

I've never taken so long in revising a novel as I have with this one. Nearly 20 books in, I guess I'm finally maturing as a writer LOL.

Plot for next book: gone.

Tony Healey @tonyhealey.com · 12d

I always think they're used intentionally, at specific moments, for good reason, and an author's decision to use them should be respected.
But, y'know, you win some, lose some lol

Tony Healey @tonyhealey.com · 12d

I always space them out in my books.

Repostin' The Autumnal. Manifesting my seasonal mood.

Is anyone really that surprised Zelensky walked away empty-handed?
It's not negotiation, it's weakness.
The Tangerine should give an ultimatum to The Warmonger: stop the war within 24 hours or the US will supply Ukraine with Tomahawks.
Nothing will come of the meeting in Hungary.

I don't pay to be a @teamlabouruk.bsky.social party member, and vote for them in local/national elections, for them to:
-Rob OAPs of their fuel allowance
-Attack pensions
-Continue with the 2-child cap
-Go after the motability scheme

What happens when a city prioritizes people over cars?
In Haarlem, most streets are now limited to 30 km/h, making walking and cycling not just safer, but more pleasant too. This shift isn’t just about safety; it’s also about space,noise, and quality of life

Diane Keaton should have lived much longer. She would be in her 90s, chic and silly. She'd grace late night TV now and then and say outrageous things to shock the squares. She was our queen of quirk, yes, but also an actor of tremendous fragility and charm.
