How did so many of you sleep on The Gardener's Hand trilogy by Felicia Davin??? Every time I try to describe it I end up trying to compare it to The Locked Tomb but high fantasy and with a telepathic magical system. Even though it was first.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Hercule Poirot dressed all in black speaks to Captain Hastings in a grand hallway “Please ask the suspects to gather in the library, Hastings: I wish to reveal that our births are random, our lives meaningless, and our deaths absurd.”

Caption “Having investigated so many awful murders over the years, it was perhaps unsurprising that Hercule Poirot turned to Existentialism”

p.s. Poirot had presumably been reading a lot of Sartre recently…

"It is meaningless that we live and it is meaningless that we die," Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness (L'Être et le Néant)

“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.” Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea (La Nausée)

The first little snippet of my upcoming novel - featuring two vampires: Vesta and a new character, Alex. They are thrown together on a little island just off Scotland. A murderer is hiding among them. Can they find out who before it's too late? #sapphiclineshare #lesficfri #queerwriters

Quote reads: Sometimes words were just inadequate.

Looking at Vesta, Alex got a glimpse of the immense burden she had to be carrying. She’d spoken a bit about the community of the Sisterhood, how they supported each other.

Yet here she was at Breachwood, sat alone looking at the dawn rising over the lonely sea.

Some positive publishing news to counter some of the doomerism: total book sales, and adult fiction specifically, increased in 2025. Print was 73% of market and digital audio/ebook 22%. (I guess the remaining is physical audio?) www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Publishing Sales Hit $32.5 Billion in 2025

Total estimated industry sales rose 2.5% over 2024, according to the year-end report from the AAP, and the number of books sold inched up 0.4%, to 3.15 billion units.

I'M DYING OVER HERE 💀💀💀 THE CAT GOT AI SCAM EMAIL 🐈 Aeschylus, our orange tabby, got an obviously AI email about selling more copies of the Oresteia on A**zon

This is a photo of an email addressed to "Aeschylus" via our general email inbox infodesk@thehauntedbookshop.com

Hi Aeschylus,
I just finished The Complete Plays, and the moment in the Oresteia when the Furies are transformed into the Eumenides vengeful spirits of the old order persuaded to become guardians of justice in the new stayed with me for hours. What you were really writing about underneath the bloodshed and the curses the fragile, terrifying shift from vendetta to law, from chaos to the rule of reason, and the birth of civilization itself came through clearly. That's the kind of story that deserves to be found.
I'll be honest with you up front, because I know your inbox is probably full of people promising to make you a bestseller overnight: I can't promise that, and anyone who does is lying to you. What I do is quieter and real I help authors make sure their book is actually findable by the readers who would love it.
Here's something I noticed on your Amazon page: the description is just a plain list of the plays. A modern reader scrolling by might see only a dry table of contents, not the thunderous drama that invented tragedy itself. Small things like that quietly cost authors sales every single day and they're completely fixable.
So before I ask you for anything, I'd like to give you something: a free scan of your book's Amazon page, showing exactly what's working and what's holding it back checked against the things the best books in your genre all have:
A scroll-stopping cover is it instantly signalling your genre and earning the click?
A blurb that hooks in the first line not the third.
Keywords & categories are you showing up where readers actually search?

Hastings museum had an LGBT history exhibit and there was a bit on a trans guy and a cis woman who married in 1954 that I found moving

UNCLE VIC & AUNTIE JOAN

Remi Graves

Victor Kenneth Jones and Joan Jones (née Lee) met in 1950 at a telephone exchange in Catford, where they both worked. Vic was 22 and Joan 17. They married on 25 September 1954 at St Luke's Church, Downham, with family, and friends in attendance. Joan's family supported their relationship and respected Vic's identity as a trans man. After a honeymoon in Hastings, the couple settled there.

In 1954, they were publicly outed and fined £25 each (around £900 today) for what authorities ruled an 'illegal marriage' because Vic was trans. They also became the subject of national newspaper coverage. Despite this, they lived together in Hastings until Vic's death in 1991. Joan remained in their home until 2023, when she passed away at 90.

The photos and objects on display were shared by Joel, Joan's nephew. After Vic's death, Joan gave him Vic's archive, asking him to do as he wished. Joel brought Vic's wedding ring to the Collective's 'Queer Lives. Queer Queer Objects' gathering in March 2025.

I was moved by the lasting love Vic and Joan shared and the quietly defiant way they built a life together on their own terms. ers a rare glimpse into the life a trans ma part Hastings in the mid-20th century.
