When There Are Wolves Again is out in the UK today! I wrote something about the book, and keeping going, and some personal stuff I dithered over but, well, it's been A Year.

I'm so glad the book is out there and thank you so much to everyone who has supported it 🐺🤍

Happy Book Birthday to @spookypurcell.bsky.social - House of Splinters is out from Bloomsbury books

This is my current read & Purcell has recaptured the unsettling atmosphere within The Bridge Manor, the eeriness of the silent companion figures & mess with our perception of reality! Loving it!

A little off topic, but @vlatinalondon.bsky.social, author and apparent fan, has a new book out that looks pretty awesome. Among other things, she wrote one of my favorite stories in The End Of The World anthology.

Since the article itself is paywalled... my new novel is called THIS IS WHERE THE FUTURE BLEEDS, which @losbennett.bsky.social sold to @titanbooks.bsky.social earlier this year. It's a fantasy adventure in a queer-normative world featuring fractured futures, sapphic romance, and giant wasps.
