My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere

Rewatching Legends of Tomorrow on Netflix (not from the beginning) and the later seasons are absolutely as delightful as I remember!

Mourning both William Orbit and John Crowley - two creative giants from very different realms that both impacted my own imagination. Orbit’s work with Madonna is among my favorite music of all time, while Crowley’s Little, Big and Engine Summer are seminal works of my author self. Cheers, gents 🥃

50k into the new wip, and I realized the story started in the wrong place, and it should be a secondary world. And also, the initial premise that sparked the whole idea is actually not part of this story at all. So I'm ditching this 50k and starting over from scratch. It's all in better focus now 📚✍️

Fuck him and what he says. Once upon a time they were not "political actors" - that time being when the rule of law meant any damn thing at all. Roberts and his ilk brought about the era of the justices being 'political' (read: partisan) actors. Is he really that out of touch with REALITY? Yes.

btw one of the entire reasons so many fascists and nightmare tech people are pushing AI is because they literally want you to cede your thinking skills to the plagiarism bot it is absolutely an effort to reduce society's critical thinking ability.

At this point, I think the entire publishing industry needs to have a serious conversation about the degree to which the last 15 years have increasingly seen book promo become an online venture, and what that means now that entire social media and digital platforms are getting torched overnight. 🧵

My first published novel was my eighth written; the previous seven are all trunked forever. Since publication, I have one same-universe sidequel which I hope comes out one day, and another novel that I salvaged for parts after ten revisions.

This implies that when given notice, these facilities will change their behavior and conditions for the better. So... Democrats should be requesting NON-STOP rolling daily visits to these facilities. Whatever the "tour" mode is should become permanent.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.
