@fromcarly.bsky.social Do you have any advice for writers seeking agents when they’ve been Indie Published by small presses. Is this a disadvantage if you have low sales due to small reach? Or a positive as publishers have seen something in your work and invested in you? Thanks! #askagent #revpit

Drama queen Talie is my favourite, and it's also the reason Taz looks at her and basically sees Kainen in a skirt... (Scene is from book 5 draft 1 😇)

For years, there was a gap on my bookshelf. As a lifelong Dalek obsessive, I never understood why there hadn't been a comprehensive history of all the major toy and model lines; only an occasional page or section in books or magazines . I eventually realised it was my job to fill that gap...
