[Publishing] Run for the exit!
The Mall Horror book has landed.
Escalators to Hell: Shopping Mall Horrors is a collection of neo-gothic tales, nostalgic yarns, capitalist monstrosities, and one stop shopping gone very wrong (or a little too right!). Featuring 22 stories by established and new horror writers from around the world examining the dark side of malls, including: Connor Boyle, Liam Burke, Pines Callahan, Anjum N.…

[Publishing] Excitement, awe and terror
Yes, it is time to tremble, quake, and possibly do a nervous wee.
Because Learning to be Human is now available to order in the US & Canada!
It is, of course, already available in the UK.
It is, I think you’ll agree, a saucy and well-constructed tome. If you decide you don’t like the stories (unlikely, there’s a huge variety stretching from the Iliad to me), you can always use this as a small…

[publishing] Q&A
Learning to Be Human will be available in the US & Canada from the 13th of February, so in anticipation of this blessed date, Flame Tree have shared a Q&A with the modern authors of this mixed anthology (classic and modern tales) on what inspired their contributions.
Go have a look!

[Publishing] Machine Not Learning
Happy New Year! Did you have a nice time for New Year’s Eve, my dears? I spent mine failing to set a straw goat on fire, and playing what I can only describe as “music video playlist Russian roulette” with a couple of friends. Not quite the bacchanalian excesses of years gone by, but there was a lot of dip and prosecco.
Anyway, I’ve gathered you all here today to force you to gaze upon the cover…

Only a few more shopping days until That Day
So why not head over to a selection of spooky malls, horrifying malls, and undead malls to make your holiday purchases?
By which I mean: the preorders for Escalators to Hell are open.
In order news, I’ve successfully turned 41 without any more of my hair falling out or body parts falling off, returned all the online clothing orders that didn’t fit my decidedly middle-aged waistline, and…

The smug feeling of having talented friends
Keeping the ball rolling: following the grand success of one friend, I have more geospecific works by global pals to alert readers of this blog to.
Recently released from Clandestine Press, Remains to Be Told features a impressive of roster of Aotearoa-residing authors, including Neil Gaiman, but the reason I’m putting it on the blog is that the cover and several internal illustrations are by my…

I was going to call this "yarnaggedon" but that stinks
Since I apparently cannot get enough of writing ALT text descriptions and having WordPress eat them immediately, here’s a photographic roundup of some of my more recent off-the-cuff (as in, I have never used a pattern and I never will, chiefly because I cannot understand them but also because I would rather die than count stitches) crochet projects…
Firs: this catastrophically hard-to-photograph…

Friends and Fiends and doing well
Yesterday I got the truly fantastic news that friend and recent writer-in-residence at Dragon Hall in Norwich Wayne Rée and his collaborator Benjamin Chee won very big at the Singapore Book Awards.
Wayne being Wayne, and unnecessarily modest about his achievements, I got the news in the form of a stunned message with a link to the Straits Times and the statement “I have News”. Capital-N News is…

[Publishing]
Hot on the heels of the publication of the second Triangulation anthology from Parsec Ink that I’ve been lucky enough to be in, I bring you the news that I’m also a repeat participant in Other World Ink’s anthology series of attempts to unfuck the planet via science fiction!
That’s right! Having previously featured The Mycoremediator in Save The World, Other Worlds Ink have taken a second chance…

[Publishing] A Change of Clothes
I feel like I should add some sort of digital confetti to this announcement: first time I’ve had a podfic done!
Now available to listen to (and read) on Podcastle.org, my short story A Change of Clothes is narrated by Isaac Harwood, and produced by Devin Martin. According to the show it’s rated PG13, which I think I pretty much agree with.
There’s no cover but I always feel I’m jazzing the…

[Art] From Whole Cloth
It’s rare that I stray outside of my dual discomfort zones of “make stuff out of fibre” and “make stuff out of words”, but this year I’ve been making an attempt to try new(er) things and get friendly with Being Shit At Things again. Earlier in the year I had a bash at making more collage poems, this time in microzine form, and along with a couple of more solely “art gallery”-type collage zines, I…

[Publishing] The Death of Leisure
It’s a fantasy for many people, especially when you’ve been working long hours with awful clients/customers/coworkers, to win the lottery and never work again. It’s a fantasy of technophiles since a hundred years ago at least that one day everything will be automated and no one will have to work, do a chore, or get out of bed before they’re good and ready.
Obviously with the automation of more…

[Publishing] Baffling Mag
Having more or less just finished waving a Writers Guild of Great Britain banner enthusiastically at Pride this weekend, confirmation of my “counts as a writer” status was cemented by the release of another short story, this time in Baffling Magazine.
The above image is the masthead for Baffling Magazine Issue Twelve (July 2023), featuring the authors: Megan Baffoe, me, Tianran Li-Harkness,…

I said I was going to do this last month
Happy Pride, I guess
My job, as some of you may know, is “reading the news on behalf of clients”. This also involves listening to media broadcasts, which means I am one of the 57 people in the UK who actually watches GBNews. As you can imagine, I do not have a lot of fun. It has however been a wonderful weekend of rabid confusion as Yevgeny Prigozhin did and then didn’t do an insurrection on his…

[Publishing] The Saltbush Review
In a rather wonderful turn of events, my very Northern Hemisphere self has been accepted into a very Southern Australian literary journal, The Saltbush Review.
Funded by Arts SA, Saltbush Review’s third issue is focused on the theme of “Intersections”, and features a diverse range of work – fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and reviews – from a diverse range of writers.
(Saltbush photo is public…
