When I'm not writing crime novels, I organise a fairy festival in North Wales!

This was fun, my sci-fi horror play. I took it to The Greater Manchester Fringe in July.

Audiobook narrated by Terry Molloy - Davros in Dr Who, remember? More recently he's been touring theatres as Dr Watson to Colin Baker's Sherlock Holmes. Who better to bring the varied characters in this book to life? www.audible.co.uk/pd/Sherlock-...

Following the events at Reichenbach, Holmes uncovers that Moriarty was merely a tool; in reality, the attempt on his life was authored by Arthur Conan Doyle. When Doyle publicly espouses the Cottingley fairy photographs, Holmes takes delicious revenge. #SherlockHolmes www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F636P7SH

Oceangate's doomed submarine was entirely powered by the hubris of the wealthy. The wealthy dictate our reality and all consequences for any of the end-users can be ignored. Titan prophesied America's current state of play, and that too is set to implode, surely?

After years of attempting - and mostly failing - to embrace the festive spirit, I have to admit that Christmas makes me deeply sad and I loathe it. There, I’ve said it! Thankfully, I don’t have to answer the manipulative call of ‘tradition’ or ‘duty’ and I can make it a simple duvet day.

Today’s poem is called ‘To Be Pacific’.

To Be Pacific

Why do you always go off on a tandem,
say goodbye without further adieu?
It’s time you climbed down from your pedal stool –
this is not a phrase you’re going through,

when antidotal evidence suggests
you’ve been three-wheeling right from the start.
Or rather, from the gecko, as you might say.
You’re always upsetting the apple tart.

I can’t be asked to correct you these days:
it takes two to tangle, I won’t deny it.
But when push comes to shovel and all’s set and done,
I just want a little piece of quiet,

to curl myself up in the feeble position
so I can give my poor ears some rest bite
from these sayings which do not pass mustard,
the flaws in the ointment you cite.

You’re no escape goat or social leopard;
I don’t regard you as a hapless case.
But be aware there are reaper cushions
when you cut off your nose despite your face.

Brian Bilston

On Facebook, Anne Helmstadter was hawking her ‘I can teach you to write course,’ and ‘what not to write.’ This attracted a mild comment from Ramsey Campbell about his method. This was followed by a quick put down by Ms Helmstadter. Oh dear. Politest mic drop from Mr Campbell … Delicious!

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky

It’s not just an Alf pics repository.

Just home from watching Gladiator II. Most entertaining, although it has drawn some criticism for inaccuracies. In it a bloke with really bad ginger hair and dodgy makeup appoints a monkey to high office. Now that could never happen in real life, could it? #GladiatorII

I'm planning a theatre tour for Sherlock Holmes & The Man Who Believed in Fairies. I know nothing about doing this, but then this time last year I didn't know how to take my show to the Edinburgh Fringe. Somehow I did it and got 700 audience members. Time to start contacting theatres ...

I LOVE this place, so like the previous incarnation of Twix. No dismal gothy background. Pure joy.
