My latest blog post is a love letter to a remarkable video game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is an ode to the people who created it and the lives it has touched, including my own.

A love letter to Clair Obscur
This is a love letter to a video game and those who made it. This is a love letter to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a game that, in a very real way, saved me, and healed me.

Years ago, I started designing my own book covers. I then started doing them for other authors.
As a creative exercise, I sometimes generate random titles and create a cover for them. Here's a few I did last week. I love The Cobalt Coffin one.

Nice to see people are able to see through the bias and misogyny of BBC News and recognise Chris Mason's reporting for what it is.
