Two messages. The first: It's 8pm and I'm sat in a freezing church listening to a band that just does folk songs about the moomins being queer The second: The bass from the gay moomin folk band has just made a small child cry
Texts I send from my normal job:
We need to know this band! 🤣

Huge ideas, messy emotions, and ships with more personality than most people. This is sci-fi that hits where it hurts: starships with souls, flawed heroes, and hope forged in the wreckage of war.
Available from your favourite #book seller.

Oh, I don't have a lot of purely horror stories (I write dark but not horror), but here's one on the edge for spooky season

Full on Gothic
(in many ways a precursor to the Dominion of the Fallen books, thematically)
A hero whose heroism consists of killing people is uninteresting to me, and I detest the hormonal war orgies of our visual media, the mechanical slaughter of endless battalions of black-clad, yellow-toothed, red-eyed demons.
A ghostly Chinese woman with dead white eyes stares out from a stylised black and green ocean, her face surrounded by billowing gold foam
THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW NOVEL FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOOK EATERS A haunting dark urban fantasy set in a historical Hong Kong, where ancient myths and local legends combine in a story of ghosts, grief and women who will not forgive. Mercy Chan is a triad exorcist with a mysterious past. After washing up on the shores of Hong Kong with no memory during World War II, she found a home in Kowloon Walled City, an infamous, ghost-infested slum full of lost and traumatised civilians. Since the war ended, Mercy has rebuilt her life and found work as a ghost-talker for the local triad, dealing with the angry and bitter spirits who haunt this place. But the past she can’t remember won’t let her go. An unusually powerful ghost lurks in Kowloon’s waterways, drowning innocents and threatening the district. Unnervingly, it claims to know Mercy—and her forgotten childhood. As Mercy is drawn into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with this malignant spirit, she begins to realise that the monster she fights within these walls may well be one of her own making.
Happy Mid Autumn Festival! 🥮 I’m thrilled to share the cover of #TheGirlWithAThousandFaces, coming 5 May 2026 from @torbooks.bsky.social! ⭐The Girl with a Thousand Faces is a Chinese-Gothic tale set in a historical Hong Kong.

There are hundreds of years of history of women’s scientific accomplishments not being recognised or being minimised (“not notable”). It *still* happens. Many female scientists are only acknowledged on Wikipedia thanks to the efforts of, yes, other female scientists, notably physicist Dr Jess Wade.

* We didn't call it that. But we should have.
This is the wildest thing we've written together yet - just wall to wall neon-saturated queer craziness.
I love writing with Maddison and everything we've done together so far. And there's so much more to come.

Text from story reads: “Babe, the guy who used to be called Alejandro died when he got run over by a 36-wheel, AI-driven, caterpillar truck carrying edible nuclear waste to Megasydney-2. Despite the chunks of grey matter inside your titanium skull, HR has determined that you lack a human mind and all subsequent emotions and entitlements.” I didn’t respond, system still initializing, messages scrolling down my field of view, obscuring my vision. Finally, they cleared. “You’re RoboBro now, babe, and you’re going to revolutionise the food delivery business,” the cybertwink in the turtleneck and labcoat said, taking a brief, professional look down at the breast-shaped protrusions bolted to my chest. “The Tits for Tips program turned you into a GothGF CyberCentaur™ to improve earnings with the ‘Male 15-35,’ demographic and generate a sense of safety and camaraderie with other women.” “Okay, babe,” I said. “No. I call you ‘babe,’ you don’t call me ‘babe,’ babe.” My processor struggled to parse that, but before I could waste any time spontaneously developing feminist philosophy in the workplace, Brolivery Corporation assigned me my first package.
