As I approach the end of my first week off in a long time, I am thankful. In this world, set aflame by madmen and monsters, I'm grateful for my family, who bring endless joy and peace. I'm blessed with the countryside around me, its magic, fairy folk, and music.
I see you've read my poetry 😂
Ha! Yeah, was an awesome con and great to meet you and so many other pals from over the years! I guess I didn't get the memo about authors needing to be visible, notable, or promotable! I'll just go back in my mole hole and hide again 😂
My wife just asked what DnD means. I don't...don't even–
Yes, the BBC appear to gave intentionally exaggerated the headline, but he's also quoted saying they would potentially sell AI books. Labelling them as such doesn't absolve them of letting the vampire into the house
Really, Waterstones? You want AI generated slop for the masses? What a crock of shit. Joke's on you though, this just makes me want to toil even harder writing awesome books that no one knows even exist! Ha! 😅
I love this. It has a real Warhammer 40,000 ring to it.
These are so cool. Would be a total pain to find amidst a jangle of keys when pressed though! 😅
It's my ever present cup of tea! Oh, and I only have three digits on my right hand (in this, not real life)

Nice to make a daddy sandwich with my bro and papa DM today!
Absolutely
Worth a gander, folks @slashnburnett.bsky.social you had that pun coming!

La Rochelle and Saint Martin de Ré from the air
After years of researching and writing about La Rochelle, and Saint-Martin-de-Ré, it was an absolute trip to randomly look out of the window of a plane and spot them clear as day. My children and the rest of the plane didn't seem to share my enthusiasm.
My art needs homed!
😂 RJ, my dear, you win the prize! For you, it shall be some wonky taxidermy! Leave it with me...

Back to bald! Follicular liberation!
Just quietly sitting here post evening sun, writing poetry from the mind of a man that never lived, yet whose life I've seen entirely.
Author or insane?! 🤣
Sunset over fields
Sunset brought a gun to a knife fight. Been off here for a month - how's everyone doing? Any cool writing projects? I've doubled down on my secret Scottish project, whilst embracing edits to the (nearly finished) finished book. Cheeeeeeeers

Proper Irish Wolfhound there, no?
HUDSON! Have you stolen my future dog?!

The choice shot of the weekend: Gandalf giving me the kind eyes for a puff of the old toby (one for the Tolkien fans)
The Dead South on stage in Edinburgh
Incredible performance from The Dead South at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh tonight!

For your viewing pleasure this evening: Hudson at rest
Gawd, he's such a wankspangle fuckwit isn't he?
I'm utterly spellbound by the birds in the garden on this sunny spring evening. The sheer volume both in number and song is truly beautiful.
