So proud of my little story! It does exactly the kinds of things that I personally love discovering in other fiction. Some sadness, perhaps some misguidedness, and a bit of magical realism. Check it out!

For all UK folks, posting this early. The next book, out very soon. "In 'Reality But More Fun,' Swann gives the reader a vibrant, surreal, and nightmarish romp through a collapsing reality. A book filled to the brim with menace and mirth." -Tiffany Morris, author of "Green Fuse Burning"

I had a Novella released last fall with @emergejournal.bsky.social, and I would love to give it more attention. It's Literary Fiction and only ~40 pages. I'm also happy to send an e-copy to anyone who's maybe a bit strapped, in return for an honest review. Thanks!

Any #writers and/or #boardgame designers out here who might be looking for a collaborative project? I've got a game design based on writing a novel that I'm looking to re-evaluate, and a partnership might be just what I need. Reply here, we'll go from there. #authors #gamers #collaborate

One of my favourite 90's bands was Buffalo Tom, because their lyrics made me feel and wonder about things so many different ways. As a writer, I wanted to explore the possibility of re-experiencing those old feels for the first time. Thanks, @major7mag.bsky.social www.major7mag.com/post/sunday-...
