I may be the 7 millionth person to share this but it really hits home as I stare at a screen all day analysing data for my day job then stare at a screen all evening and all weekend as I write my books. But we’re dancing animals. You know, we love to move around… #kurtvonnegut #BookSky #envelope

Reading the English translation of the French book Double Room by Anne Sénès in France has a different flavour. Thank you so much @orendabooks.bsky.social for the proof copy. I’m loving it so far. Please… pre-order now! It’s simply brilliant! Love, loss and #synesthesia

Like many of my writing friends, I’ve also had my books stolen by the LibGen pirates and the Meta AI maniacs and I am mad! I will be calling on our government to demand protection for the work of creatives and an assurance that we will be fairly paid for our (years of) work. #DoTheWriteThing
