Did you know that if you preorder RAGWORT, @samkhorton.bsky.social 's much-anticipated sequel to his deliciously dark fantasy GORSE, you can get an exclusive pack of missing scenes from book 1?

Preorder now - geni.us/ragwort - then provide your proof of purchase here: geni.us/RAGWORTPre

Against a gold fabric background, two flatlaid hardbacks by Sam K. Horton (GORSE and RAGWORT) with white arrows pointing to them with white text "If you preorder RAGWORT...you can get an exclusive pack of missing scenes from GORSE!"

Finally reading Working Guys and what a hard but rewarding read it is. I highly recommend it!

Thanks to @mxjackparker.bsky.social
and all the authors for this gem of an anthology.

I found this old picture of some of the chapters in Greengage Shelf. I often forgot that I wrote a cosy mystery/comedy! But the Greengage series was a lot of fun to write. If the fantasy genre keeps being a cruel mistress, maybe one day I should go back to that?

Some plants and one of the content pages of Greengage Shelf.

One thing never changes: I can always reread this book (and call it work).

This month’s book club book is really wonderful, albeit a hard read at times. Sometimes books have to hurt a little to change you, though.

Today the most sociable, clever, and friendly cat I’ve ever met had to say goodnight. It’s been fifteen amazing years and I’ll miss Bruce more than I can even put into words. Do me a favour and hug your pets really close tonight.
