Thanks Kieran. I heard about this happening in a town up the road and the image was so powerful that I used it and played around with narratives around it. Glad you enjoyed it mate.

Other than that, you can still get my debut small story collection, The Bygones, from Tangerine Press and the single story, A Symbol of a Memory, from Nightjar Press. Two amazingly unique publishers in their different ways.

I've had stories in the latest 2 issues of Spinners, published just before Christmas. This mag has filled a space in the lit world left by mags such as Joe England's PUSH and has been a relentless and wonderful surprise this year.

As well as being a night for stories and discussion, this event will be Neil Campbell's first outing with his latest collection, Saying Dirty Things in Regional Accents, which I can't wait to read. It was a pleasure to be asked back to Blackwells in Manchester for this event.

DeepSNAKES put together this amazing feat of AI collaboration on the theme of techno poetry and I was happy to have The Greenhouse included. Although this poem features at 31 mins in, the whole thing is a batshit crazy and a mindbendingly good watch.

Wow Ross, thanks so much for this, it really means a lot. That book is like a child to me so it's great to see it still having a life and being read by new readers. Hope you're well pal.

Jim, I'm almost at the end of The Bygones and it's been a real treat. I read Little Robbie the other evening and it absolutely floored me. A great collection filled with some fabulous storytelling - well done.
