Once again, my friends and I were running a pay-what-you-want sticker charity drive from my table with all proceeds being collected for scottishtrans.org. The generous participants and attendees of @cymerafestival.co.uk helped us raise £227 over the weekend!

I tried not to increase my book TBR pile at @cymerafestival.co.uk . So I bought #comics in the dealer's room instead! @lyndondraws.bsky.social & Nina Poulston from @bluefoxcomics.com & @mackjagee.bsky.social

Don't forget to check out our creators outside the Theatre! It's the perfect pit-stop before or after a panel, with lots of amazing wares available 🤩

Once again I'll be at the games room at @cymerafestival.co.uk from 10 today, this time running my reverse horror game The Family! If a rules-light RPG where a group of us play the villains of a folk horror movie sounds up your street then find me up in the Highland Room. No festival 🎫 required!

Flora MacDonald & Zombies opened to a FULL HOUSE at @cymerafestival.co.uk yesterday! Thank you for being the best audience we could ask for in its very first outing. One more show this afternoon, then you'll have to catch her at @buxtonfringe.bsky.social or @edfringe.bsky.social

Good morning from Scotland. Our second day of @cymerafestival.co.uk and the sun has decided to show its face.

I've been leaving cards around #Cymera2025 with this amazing art of Aleks and Ilea I commissioned from @jennicoutts.bsky.social .... Grab if you see one.

With exciting news on the flip side ;)

A postcard featuring a detailed black and white ink illustration of two lovers entwined, surrounded by tentacles and eyes and the void.

 The card is meant to be read either way up, like a card from an imaginary divination deck. The words THE SHAPE OF MONSTERS is written on both the top and bottom of the card
