Need writing advice for the new year? Perhaps writing a children's or YA book as part of your new year's resolution?
Hear how #Wyrdwood author @curtisjobling.bsky.social wrote his atmospheric novel in our current issue - available now totally free! π§‘
@foxandinkbooks.bsky.social
Iβd planned to ration #Wyrdwood over Halloween but kept getting into a βone-more-chapterβ situation. Now Iβve finished it early. @curtisjobling.bsky.social evokes a wonderful sense of place. I love the way the scares build up to a perfect storm of action and thrills. Immersive, thorny folk horror.
Fans of #WolfKing, #Wereworld & #Wyrdwood - I'll be at the London MCM ComicCon on Saturday 25th October, talking about adaptation and also signing copies of all the above thanks to the wonderful people of Forbidden Planet ππΌ
Do please spread the word and come along πΊπ

They've been sitting in my WIP pile for a while, and at last, Team North is done! #oxventure #wyrdwood #wyrdwoodfanart #fanart @oxventure.bsky.social @johnnyohnny.bsky.social @icklenellierose.bsky.social @janedouglas.bsky.social @farrantula.bsky.social @lukewestaway.bsky.social
Two boughs of a large twisted tree reach out across the image from the left. Through the bare branches you can see a harbour with a lighthouse, pier and a few houses. The book title and author are printed on large fabric banners that are placed around the boughs at the top and bottom of the page. The artists uses sepia, grey and brown umber colours to suggest that it is dark, the lighthouse light is just visible. They have used a pen technique, like on etchings to give texture to the tree, rooftops etc.
#Wyrdwood A creepy, atmospheric story set in a secluded island village. Think #Lovecraft #Gaiman #Priestley β€οΈπ
Prepare for dead bodies, old legends and sinister happenings.
You will not want to put this down.

To go from a couple of jokes on @oxventure.bsky.social #Wyrdwood to @janedouglas.bsky.social actually being on #CriticalRole's 2 part #Thresher was so wild of a suprise

The front cover of Heart of the Wyrd Wood by RJ Barker. The title is in green with some tree bark textured faces in the background. SFX say "an experienced novelist at the top of his game...five stars" at the bottom.
@rjbarker.bsky.social is this officially out yet or are Waterstones getting carried away again? Either way, it's here! #wyrdwood
Fantastic evening!
Many thanks to @rjbarker.bsky.social who joined us for #LBCHorsforth this evening.
We discussed two of his novels gods of the #wyrdwood and warlords of the wyrdwood and much more!
Along with the returns of #Deadlands ποΈ, #Wyrdwood π³ & the #OxventurersGuild π. Other RPGs I hope @oxventure.bsky.social tries whether 1 shot, mini or full series include Vampire The Masquerade π§π»ββοΈ, Alien π½, Call Of Cthulhu π¦, Batman π¦ + various D&D But's & maybe revisit some like Lasers & Feelings ππ²
It's my birthday, there's a snowstorm, I barely slept. What better time to join a new social media site π Anyway, here is my yearly #gingerbreadhouse for 2024. It's supposed to be the tree city from #oxventure #wyrdwood
Oh damn, wish there was a body horror novel written by @johnnyohnny.bsky.social
(I say as I slowly flinch deeper into my chair at their descriptions of stuff)
#Wyrdwood #Oxventure
Three Oxventure D&D players with their hands up.
When the DM asks "Who's got my favourite D20?" #Oxventure #Wyrdwood #D&D
Willowfine or Robin are early contenders for favorite player characters. #wyrdwood
Watching #Wyrdwood from #Oxventure love a good folk horror setting
I'm terrible at drawing people (and had never colored anything on CSP, yikes), but that scene reminded me of Mulan so much that I had to xD
