Mine is the boring, legible signature on these signed copies of Unfurl. Get them before they go!

"Kings hammer mistrust into swords, demand battle songs, and the world deafens with terror of one's neighbour. I turn to words. Their little lamps will outlive my flicker, that of lords, and of this current fear. [...]" - by Rosie Garland - @rosiegarlandwriter.bsky.social
Bede writes a history of the English people
Rosie Garland

Ask, why I carve feathers to the spike of knives
when men are too busy to read. I should be bricking
windows into arrow-slots; should be bending
yew to longbows. The year roars with blood,
the murder of faith, and enemies close, closer.
Kings hammer mistrust into swords, demand
battle songs, and the world deafens with terror
of one's neighbour. I turn to words.
Their little lamps will outlive my flicker,
that of lords, and of this current fear. I grind
gall, vinegar, hone my quill. Feed the dark age with light.

Among the various hats I wear is that of designing book covers! I create inexpensive, quality book covers for indie publishers and self-published authors, suitable for print and eBook versions. I'm also happy to chat about internal design/layout. Drop me a message any time if you're interested.
Cover for Unfurl: Portrait of Another World by Kym Deyn, Nathaniel Spain, and Finlay Worrallo. Depicts a galactic swirl against a grainy blue background.Cover of Synthetic Sunlight by Joe Jones. Shows scattered triangles showing glimpses of sky against a black background. At the bottom, a triangle is red, with the tagline 'conform to survive' next to it.

UK voters - don't assume the conservatives (or reform uk) will lose just because the polls say so. Go and vote them out on Thursday. We might not get the country we want overnight, but this can be a step back towards it.

"Your life should not be a museum." "Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets."
An image of three screenshotted tweets. The original from user @hell_doe: "Thinking about the girl who bought me coffee from Texas and joked that I would have to ration it out for special occasions. My friend, I do not save my good things. Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets." 

User Mike Hamilton, RIV tweeted a screenshot of the original tweet to say: "being alive is as special an occasion as it gets" fundamentally altered my brain." 

User Oliver Darkshire quote tweeted Hamilton to say, "Ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but "my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died and I don't want this stuff" has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum."

Like any creative practice, I think it's important to write some things which you have no intention of sharing. When you're trying to build a career as a writer, it's easy to forget that it's also a therapeutic exercise. It also helps combat the mindset that writing is a grind

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it. Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22
long stretch of worked roman stone on Hadrian's Wall.
