My last day at my current job is tomorrow and because I left voluntarily I don't get full unemployment benefits for three months. If anyone has a line on some paid freelance writing work then please reach out.

Yay! The Wolf That Chews Rocks has been accepted for sale in Waterstones and other bookshops, and should be in stock in around a month. Globally. In the meantime, it's 25% cheaper to buy direct. Link on russelljonesauthor.com

No way I can compete with the major poetry publishers who get collections stocked by bricks-and-mortar bookshops But I do have word of mouth and all you wonderful people here on Bluesky, pushing the numbers of readers of Whatever You Do, Just Don't far beyond the sales of the big boys. Thank you!

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word? Right now my horror novel BEDFELLOW is on sale for $1.99 on Kindle and Bookshop. I have no idea how long the sale will last. www.amazon.com/Bedfellow-Je... bookshop.org/p/books/bedf...

Here's the cover of Bedfellow by yours truly. The cover is black with a black and white illustration of a bald creature with his face in shadow and tiny white eyes. He's playing with little figures beside a two story doll house.
