I just don't seem to do linear time anymore. Thank god I write fantasy.

No no just fumbling fingers. It's brand new and out later this year. That isn't the cover, btw, that's just some of my doodles.

Multicoloured text in front of drawing of tiny dragons. Text reads: A new cosy fantasy series from Jessica Thorne The Teacup Dragon Sanctuary begins in autumn 2026

The news is out! I'm writing a new series about a family living on magical Starling Island featuring the most adorable tiny Teacup Dragons you can imagine. The first book, The Teacup Dragon Sanctuary is out in autumn 2026 from @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social

I'll delete and try again. **Facepalm**

Because I can't type

Yay! Very much looking forward to this. And to your book.

White cat with black markings pokes her head suspiciously from box in cat tree to look at Chelsea Girls by Catherine Lloyd

Cat is in hiding after evil horrible cruel people took her to the vet for a check up last week but I did my best

Excuse the cat hair on the cushions. The joy of a white cat.

Green and gold cover of Chelsea Girls by Catherine Lloyd featuring a girl in a white Mary Quant outfit - a fabulous account of the life of Mary Quant told by the (fictional) women around her.

From the fabulous Catherine Lloyd (aka crit partner extraordinaire @katepearceauthor.bsky.social ) So delighted to see this wonderful book out in the world.

Phew. It ran away with @cemurphy.bsky.social 's breakfast recently. He other half had to chase it down. When it brought ours it was cold because it had been wandering around. That time it had to be replaced by human beings.

Oh dear. Just to warn you sometimes it just drives up with your food, says hello, here I am, and drives away

With your food

L: A young W B Yeats wearing pince nez and a large bow tie. R: A middle-aged Aleister Crowley wearing a large (possibly homburg) black hat and the ‘I’m mad, me’ expression that he always put on for photos

Ah! 19 April – 126th anniversary of the day William Butler Yeats kicked Aleister Crowley downstairs as they fought for control of the British branch of the not-at-all-ridiculous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Battle of Blythe Road. According to legend, anyway... 🧵

Tweet from Adrian Bott (@Cavalorn): Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares; / Aleister Crowley is falling down stairs.

...or just this, which is shorter, and surely unimprovable

And now of course I want to see it again

It was aMAZing.

Mind you I was living between Ireland and Aberdeen at the time so it could have just taken that long to reach us.

I do remember watching it on the big screen but i honestly thought it was later, like 90. But yes. Yes it was.

Yes because the last five years have been so... normal...

Post from IFLSScience "Scientists thawed an acient sample from teh Alazeya River in northeastern Siberia, and to their surprise the creature woke up" "A Rotifer got buried in the Siberian Permafrost. 24,000 Years Later It Came Back To Life." Picture of "something" under a microscope getting ready to destroy all life as we know if probably.

If Science Fiction has taught me anything...

DON'T DO THIS!

The cover of The Sword Garden by Peadar Ó Guilín. In the background is an ancient city with a huge monolith and warriors armed with spears. In the foreground is a suspicious looking person wearing furs and a hood, and with yellow eyes. A large black sun glowers down on the scene.

Recently published, a fantastic new novel from Peadar Ó Guilín. Never trust the dead, you have no idea what they might be planning. "magnificent and original” — Adrian Tchaikovsky
