In October, I had a very long chat with Alan Moore. On magick, sci-fi, the perils of ecological doomerism, the joy of occultist pranks, the psychogeography of Stoke Newington, the invention of the taser - and much more!
As a Christmas treat here it is IN FULL.

They speak a lot about 'disruping' the trad publishing scene but it looks more like a quicker Print on Demand service (which already exists) with them charging for AI services which are available elsewhere.
Serious self-pub authors (many of whom are bestsellers) will see through this.
I'd love to know what's happening behind the scenes to justify the waste of sending so many of the same leaflet?
These all arrived in for my parents - one addressed to each of them and one for the Household. Do none of their families share?!

Of course I wish Held had won (biased 😅) but a shorter sci-fi novel?? Could this be a Booker winner that's up my street?!
I am thank you 😊 we must run into each other IRL again soon!!!
A proof copy of the book American Mother by Colum McCann with Diane Foley
I read American Mother from start to finish on Sunday and WOW what a heart-wrenching story.
Not what I was expecting when I picked up a Colum McCann book at all but he writes Diane’s story so vividly that it’s all-consuming.
I’m really excited to see what readers make of it in February! 📖
Basking in the glow of the epicness - huge congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Great to see you guys! 🎉🎉🎉 looking forward to seeing ye soon 😊
Thank you Karina!! The nerves are real now 😂

Starting the new job tomorrow so shiny new slate in loads of ways - hi everyone! It already seems less stressful over here 😂
