If you’re an author seeking encouragement, my guide ABOUT WRITING is available from @gollancz.bsky.social . Not so much a set of instructions, more a gentle guide to various tips, tricks, and methods that have worked for me and that you might like to try. #writer #writing #writingtips #author

The first press run of my huge (500+ pages) BITCHY! book has cleared customs and is now safely on U.S. soil (and not stuck in the Strait of Hormuz as rumor had it). Publication date is officially July 21. From Fantagraphics Books.

When I want to get nerds especially wound up I make the point that all science fiction is actually fantasy. And then to wind up everyone else, I point out that all fiction is actually fantasy.

I survived a work trip to Morocco! Here I am on camels with my boss, who also bought a copy of my book, Ancient History! You can get a copy too, right here: tinyurl.com/53ammb85 ! The book is like Orwell snuck into a fantasy world, poured himself some wine, and whispered, “Let’s stir some trouble.”

Reminds me of a story I once drafted called Lady Ice based on the Arcadia song and featuring a stage actress no one can get close to but who always turns up when there’s a Medea (Euripedes) play production, and nails it every time.
