That’s ‘amazing’ - I am ‘obsessed’ with this post.

Waking up to crap news is getting too commonplace.
Today I woke up to a much better revelation!

I couldn’t get past the obnoxiously intrusive score. It totally ruined a large section of the movie for me.
I am not a fan of discordant jazz at the best of times. When it becomes a major character I drop out.

My childhood cat, Happy, absolutely was not. Maybe he would have preferred Lord Grumpington of Balham and Tooting.

Stoked to have a #ShortStory 🌀Night Of The Big Wind🌀 in #TheClimateIssue of @stingingfly.bsky.social Huge thanks to Editor Lisa McInerney. I'm also super grateful to @artscouncilireland.bsky.social for a 2025 Literature Bursary Award. I'll be reading this story at #DoolinWritersWeekend in January.

I had a lovely email from a senior commissioning editor at @harpercollins.bsky.social

I feel bad for her, because even in that important role, they just give her an aol email address.

Her review of my short story on Amazon was in no way AI, regurgitating my own blurb.

I have made it!

Picture of a bookshop set of shelves. Overwritten with the following message: "I am delighted to announce that I have joined Foundations Book Publishing And we will be announcing the release of my new book, BENEVOLENCE, as soon as possible!

I am thrilled to say the contract has been signed and #BENEVOLENCE, my urban fantasy novel, and the first book in the #ChildrenOfLoki series, now has a home!

Thank you, Foundations Book Publishing!

Why not take a look - and even let me know which of the zillion glitches I've fixed three times already have sneaked back in?

I've been writing a collection called Dog Years.

They're stories about humans and dogs across tens of thousands of years.

Why? Dunno. But I'm having fun, and dogs are cool (and many other things too).

Nine stories so far. More coming. They live free on my website www.thesearedogyears.dog

Last call...

Old, I am!

Watched #GoodBoy yesterday and have a few takeaways - the film was not a supernatural horror to me, it was about how dogs see disease and death in humans, and how they can smell the past. Also they can be much better actors than their two-legged counterparts.
Great movie!

How am I supposed to write horrific, dystopian tales of the unexpected when the real world keeps trying to one up me?
