I’ve just sent the beta version of my sixth book (yes, I have four out, yes, this is the sixth) to the first readers and I’m dying inside a bit. Completely different genre (autofiction x queer punk warehouse scene x attachment theory) but still with my dumb humour. Features (whispers) a sex. 😬

I have a question. Do y’alls know the expression ‘gardener’s dog’? (Gardener's dog won't let you eat the apples while he doesn’t eat them either.) It’s a Polish expression I’ve been using in English for years and it has just been pointed out to me natives don’t know what it’s supposed to mean. 😬

To be honest, most of the time the LitHub best covers of the month make me cackle, but… I either like or love ALL of those. (Also ‘Land’ is a very good title, I wonder why there aren’t more books called that.) lithub.com/the-13-best-...

“Do you know what time it is?!” the King boomed suddenly, and Freya nearly jumped out of her gown. “Midnight!” roared the gathered in slurred unison. “Do you know what that means?!” “Wedding night!” “Yay,” Queen Taylor muttered adverblessly before erupting in joyful, slightly hysterical laughter.

An absolutely fantastic review here for Lost Gods ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The series is a masterclass of epic saga craft and it’s always given me vibes of Robin Hobb meets Giles Kristian" Why not give this complete Viking-inspired fantasy series a try? Nick liked it - and so might you!
