Currently reading Doctor Who: The Chimes of Midnight by @robertshearman.bsky.social . I'm about 50 pages in and it's glorious. I have a feeling in future years it may become one of my Christmas staples.

Current reading... Gary Russell's first book in the second series of Tomorrow People novellas from AUK. Really pleased the Tomorrow People have this new life... and really pleased to be writing for it. Hugely enjoying this new release.

One of my Sherlock Holmes radio plays, The Strange Case, just got a rerun and can be heard online here for a while. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFec...

Today's arrival. Should I read this now or wait until Halloween? Who am I kidding? No way am I waiting a month to read some Paul Magrs and Dracula goodness.

It's lovely to find a pic of one of your own books. The Forty Nine Steps from earlier this year.

I have a short story in this new collection from Candy Jar Books. My story, The Quantum Eye, is a celebratory little piece here in The Havoc Files 5. More details here. mailchi.mp/2d4ff612d4c8...

It's a busy time. I have a few things out or airing round about now. Here's the first. A new ish of Commando... Bismarck: The Last Days. One of the bleakest things I've ever written. www.commandocomics.com

For Doctor Who fans of a certain vintage there is nothing quite like the feeling of getting a new Target novelisation. And today, three arrived! A fourth is being sent all by its lonesome for some reason.

The Tomorrow People Return – New Book Series Announced! » We Are Cult ❉ Seven New Novels Based on the Classic Sci-Fi series will be released throughout 2025 and 2026.

I have another Tomorrow People novella coming... The Devil's Teeth... more details here. wearecult.rocks/the-tomorrow...

This anthology came out in 2016, though only in Canada. My story, A Dirty Business, is probably the most traditionally James Bond story in the book. It was nice to get James Bond onto the CV.

Been tidying up a bit and found a copy of this, the 50th birthday issue of the Dandy from... just over 37 years ago. Crikey O'Blimey, that makes me feel old. I remember that issue like it was yesterday. Hell of a party to celebrate the Dandy's 50th as well.

Tried it. No joy sadly.

A quick word for anyone who is also a Facebook Friend. My account seems to have... gone. Kaput. It was hacked or compromised and it's gone. So expect a friend request from the new me.

What is the world coming to when this is the first bottle I think of for Christmas? God, I'm old...

The second wave of these Cushings, back in... 2020 maybe... came from the pseudonymous pen (lesser known relative of Hieronymous Bosch) of David Agnew.

Another of the favourite Christmas covers from the 30 years (man, boy and idiot) I did on the comic... this one drawn by the brilliant Keith Robson. Loved Christmas issues, even sitting in the office in (normally hot) September, listening to Christmas music on headphones as we wrote the issue.

I spent almost 30 on the staff of the comics. The Christmas issue was almost always my favourite ish of the year. There was something special about doing that issue. This cover, drawn by the legendary Dave Sutherland , is probably my favourite ever Beano cover. He captured the warmth of Christmas.

Christmas isn't Christmas without the Beano and Dandy.

Very sad to hear of the passing of David A McIntee. Always enjoyed his work and he was always supportive and generous with his time. We spent a lovely couple of days a few years ago sending messages back and forth discussing an idea for a book he hoped to write. Very sad news.

All love and thoughts to David and Lesley.

New Cushing for Christmas!

It's freezing outside in Scotland just now - even more than usual, no time for rough sleeping. All profits from this book will go to help the homeless in Edinburgh and Dundee.

Here's a scary thing. Next year will mark 40 years since I joined DC Thomson's comics department as the most junior of editorial juniors on the Hoot comic. I'm old. First thing I ever wrote was a Wanta Job Bob script, drawn by Steve Bright. I planned to stay for 2 years, stayed 29 years. Happy days.

I'm not very good but at least I'm fast... no, wait, my ex was talking about something else there... boom-tish! And there should be a sixth book in December. Unofrtunately, the three pop music quiz books I did have been held back until spring next year.

The fifth book of the year from me... another trip back to my childhood and the 1970s. The Tomorrow People - Childrean of the Evolution. And yes, my work does all seem to take me back to my childhood... well, it beats having to grow up. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/183791895...
