The new issue of Wyrd Science (@wyrdscience.bsky.social) has just thumped onto my doormat, and it looks incredible. So many cool articles and for them to be analogued onto ink and paper. Viva Print!

Thanks to editor @johnpower.bsky.social for allowing me to write for this one.

A vibrant cover of the Wyrd Science magazine depicting a sci-fi fantasy mashup in an explosion of colour.

A list of incredible writers that I'm incredibly honoured to appear alongside.

I reckon chainsaws were most popular in pop culture during the 1980s and since then their use in general media has gone down... My friend @armadajosh.bsky.social disagrees. What do you all think?

Yes, In Solitude's Shadow is free! And the rest of the series is on sale. It's super cheap 🙌

But the help, you say? Please share this far and wide! Neurodivergent, queer, middle-aged characters. Sweeping scope.

I remember thinking, “We’ll be ok surely people won’t vote Brexit.” And they did and everything got worse. FF to Reform’s policies. I can’t believe people are going to fall for this racism bs all over again. 💔
