Two stories in less than a week? Madness, I tell you!

Anyway, dystopian medicine in my story, 'The Health Police', just one of the excellent stories in Andromeda Spaceways Magazine #99!

What's that new story of mine in @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social #44 about, then? Let me explain.

New Story – The Bull Beneath

When the Romans left Britain, they left a lot behind. They left roads, they left fortresses, they left whole cities. London, Londinium-as-was, was a thriving place under Rome, the biggest city in t…

if someone could buy just a single specific book before the end of the month that would be great

It's one of those days, unfortunately; I think (I kinda hope) that most writers on here can relate

Just finished (about 5 months late) listening to the first draft of my audiobook, and I think... I think I might actually be a decent writer?

Hard carried by the narration, ofc, but still. That book ain't bad.

I forgot that I put a musical combination lock in this book. Quite a good idea now that I think about it.

Sometimes I think my writing is just a vehicle to explore the weird bits of semi-magical technology that keep sprouting in my brain.

My marketing process:

1. "I should make a witty book post"

2. have no ideas

3. stare at screen for half an hour

4. give up

5. wonder why I don't sell many books

6. repeat

...anyway I write books, they're quite good, read them if you want I guess

You can tell stories without a single word if you're clever. And also if you're making film or videogames, it's quite hard to write a story without writing.
