Mary and the Rabbit Dream was mentioned in a personal essay on medical misogyny on Substack. It spurred, not fiction, but some thoughts and remembered historical facts. Link below (and link to the essay as well in my text). open.substack.com/pub/noemikis...

There is a new book by Mark Bowles on the way. It's called How Do People Stay The Same. It is, as you might expect, a thing of beauty and wonder. Details here: www.galleybeggar.co.uk/campaigns/vi...

Kind words by @markabowles.bsky.social on one of my novellas on Substack! And some other great tips here in his 2025 readings! open.substack.com/pub/markbowl... 🌹

Screenshotted excerpt of a post by Mark Bowles on Substack with the text: "Some really great writing is appearing on Substack, including some new stories and novellas by Noemi Kiss-Deaki, whose Mary and the Rabbit Dream was published by Galley Beggar last year. Like that book, Age of Wonder was compulsively readable and deceptively simple, somehow removing us from the human world we inhabit and seeing things askance. Fashioning non-human perspectives (Sarah Hall’s Helm is another example), will become increasingly prevalent and increasingly important in a dangerously anthropocentric world."

Endorsements in new edition-

Praise for Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel
"Drew Gummerson is one of the funniest writers around
- the PG Wodehouse of the flophouse. Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel is a riot. A crazy pink tribute - the most under of underdogs."
Rónán Hession, author of Leonard and Hungry Paul
"A gut-wrenching masterpiece of booze-sodden tragicomedy and a genuine cult classic. Drew Gummerson is an incredibly skilful and versatile writer, coming across in Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel like the ghost of Charles Bukowski with a rainbow flag hanging out of his arse pocket."
Stu Hennigan, author of Ghost Signs
"Probably the most original, exciting and creatively invigorating book I've read this year - like On The Buses meets lain Banks."
Jamie Mollart, author of Kings of a Dead World

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead! So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

I looked up what a group of Blue Jays is called, which is a "party" or "band." So here is a party of Blue Jays. (They do seem to like partying it up and causing a ruckus. I could see "a ruckus of Blue Jays" as a group name working too.)
