Yeah, loads of people were saying this to me on Threads. The typo version of the email is in a few of the releases. That’s where I got it. It’s likely someone’s creating fakes and is using the typo email.

I noticed Epstein’s email address hadn’t been removed from the new releases and so, in one of my more tasteless and ill-advised moves, I tried sending an email for a laugh and was surprised it didn’t bounce.
Sixteen hours later I got this reply and now I’m a bit creeped out.

Found this today. Having three big gigs occur close to each other we decided to set about the mildly ambitious August Tour Of Leicester. The upside being we could produce one big poster for all three gigs. An incredible August, amongst the best of my life now I think about it.

Moved this bed and mattress at my parents’ house. It’s probably from the 1940s and belonged to my mum’s boss at Leicester uni library. It looks like something Bertie Wooster might collapse on or a young TS Eliot. Very well made, ‘Maples & Co’, who were around since 1841 but went bust in ‘97.

Great fun running the raffle at EdgeLit with @rjbarker.bsky.social which was a convivial riot. The cosy chairs were excellent.

Just picked up my author’s copy of Writing The Magic, sent to me by Dead Ink Books. Always get a kick out of seeing me words in ink; this time an essay rather than a story. Some wonderful authors in this one. If you want to write fantasy you could do a lot worse than check this book out.
