The TBR Files

May 4th, 2016

I’m just gonna come right out and say it – I’ve got a problem. It’s a good problem, but I’m midway through my current read and I’m already wondering what’s going to be up next. The thing is, my to-be-read pile is out of control. I mean, I’m not the fastest reader in the world,…

Win a signed print copy of DOUBLE VISION

April 29th, 2016

So DOUBLE VISION is a thing. A real-life bona fide thing that exists and I can touch it and I can sniff it and I can lick it. And I want to give one to you! Don’t worry, I won’t lick your copy. To celebrate the launch of DOUBLE VISION tomorrow I’m giving away a…
If you were a book pusher what book would you push?

April 27th, 2016

Did I mention that Double Vision is out on Saturday? Did I mention that it’s only bloody well available for pre-order now? Yes? Maybe once or twice? Well, in an unscheduled interlude to the Double Vision public service announcements, and a possible break (but no guarantees) from cat pictures, let’s talk about books. Ah, them…

I’m just dropping by the dust lounge, casually leaving this link here for y’all. When I say ‘casually’, I mean I’m basically falling over my own feet and my head feels like it’s got a party of drunk squirrels inside it but I’m just gonna play it cool because if I let them out they…
Your indie book shout outs

April 16th, 2016

First things first – you lot are bloody lovely you are. It’s true. Since my last post where I shared the news about venturing into the lands of self publishing, I’ve had so many kind messages offering support, advice and general all round fuzziness it nearly made me emoticon everywhere. It means a lot to…
Stepping into self-publishing

March 31st, 2016

This is it, guys. This is me, checking out my New Year’s resolution-y things and getting some plans in place. And it’s time to get some wordy goodness out there in bookish form, which you’ll hopefully enjoy and share and generally have a damn good time with. It’s scary, stepping into self-publishing. Stepping in. Stepping…
Creative Input: Dystopian Times

March 26th, 2016

I just love a little bit of dystopia. I think I might have an addiction. But it’s a damn good addiction – one, incidentally, that can be enjoyed while eating enough chocolate to make you sick over a bank holiday weekend. Just saying. And here’s how I’m currently drowning myself in dystopia – in the…
The Beast – an introduction

March 13th, 2016

I was reading the twitterings and surfing the internet-lands, and came across Lauren Beukes (read all of her books right now, they are just bloody great) writing about her cats over at Book Riot. A beautiful, sad, lovely post about cats and pets and how important they are. Which they are – they’re part of…
