Life is a bit of a roller coaster for us right now, lots going on which is raising our stress levels, one shining light on the horizon is that my wife’s book is coming out in a month, and I’m really excited that other people are going to get to experience it.

Friends! We are almost at pub date for these lush, dark, sexy monsters. Aleks is the sweet one and I will bite anyone who says otherwise. I super sadly had to pull out of chairing this for health reasons, but @heatherpalmer.bsky.social is the absolute shit and this event is going to be beautiful.

Bags packed, audiobook cued up (The Outcast Mage by @annabelcwrites.bsky.social, narrated most enjoyably by Sarah Slimani), that's me about to start the epic five hour drive down to Harrogate. See you there, Crime Fiction Fans!

Want to see me play a weird little creature with trust issues and no sensible answers to anything? Check this out 😂 (seriously, we had a great time and Marco is an amazing GM. Tune in for his character acting and voices alone!)
