Poetry publishers will tell you 99% of sales occur within three months of a collection's launch. That's why I'm stunned to find that sales of Whatever You Do, Just Don't have gone through the roof this year, all thanks to Bluesky. Drop me a DM and I'll sort out your signed copy for you...

“Hold Still” by PeterDeMarco is an evocative, whirlwind romp through '70s suburbia, written in a brash, unique, and compelling style. It has everything: thwarted love at the bowling alley, acting classes, a Trans Am, the Bronx Zoo, a disco brawl & so much more. doric-literary.com/2026/10/01/h...

The Sum of His Doubts

She lay on the chaise, scrunched into a ball,
dress hooked high above her head,
praying to God for the front to call;
stayed sprung in that ball instead.

The cat without care (or perhaps too much)
soft puddypawed skin this while.
When nestled against her naked flesh,
still struggled to raise a smile.

'Your intentions are pretty, but unlike you kitty,
my lives have all been spent;
it is only the boy who can save us now
as I banish these routes well lent.'

From rock-strewn verge, one ball, full grounded,
hard pounded on faux suede shore,
though no matter how bitter a brow compressed,
no teardrop to eye was lured.

An hour later, encamped at keyboard,
made speech for bewhiskered bro:

'The depths of my heart naively greeting,
the sum of his doubts chose no.
Now all that remains is to slave from the darkness,
insisting in time, I'll glow.'

Synopsis:
Truman Gertie, in his quest to become an astronaut, has prepared--trained--to solve complex problems, overcome unimaginable obstacles, to survive. Now he finds himself trapped in a house filled with dark, stolen magic--a house dangerous beyond comprehension, aided by a cast of heartless captors bent to do its will. To escape, Truman needs more than his wits to succeed. He must forge an unlikely alliance with the other captives: a betrayer, an accomplice, and maybe even a nemesis from school who wishes him dead.

Jitterbug is a 2026 science fiction novel by Gareth L Powell, published by @titanbooks.bsky.social

A quotation from Jitterbug by Gareth L Powell that says: "The one hard truth I’d learned about the past was that it couldn’t be changed. It couldn’t be edited or rewritten, only lived with. No matter how hard you wanted to, you couldn’t fix days that were dead and gone. All you could do was try to make sure the days to come were better."
