@hildur.bsky.social I devoured this book, cackled out loud a few times, and had my breath taken away just as often! I hope we get a paperback release

Home after a breath of fresh air in Bournemouth/Poole. The deep bronze beaches are long, beach huts are plenty, and the Russell Coates Gallery is well worth a visit. Thank you #Dorset

Some weekends are magic and you receive poetry post. Issue 3 of Outposts has launched, and it’s lovely to see my own contribution, Autumn, a seasonal haiku sequence, immersed in among the pages. 💫 #poetry

@wtalabi.com has written one of the best SF new releases I have read. Pre-order this novel that is African cyberpunk that feels like John Woo meets Arthur C. Clarke. Sound impossible, hardly. Out October 27th from DAW. Podcast interview soon.

WorldCon 2026 and a great panel from @wtalabi.com @genni.bsky.social @xanwriter.bsky.social Inua Ellams challenging the western dichotomy of separating spiritual and science, blending mysticism with SFFH, fiction grounded in the cultural. Great recommendations. Thank you. #worldcon2026

Latest blog, for the times when the books we choose from the shelf intersect with life. Perhaps that is always the case, although I’m speaking of some happy, by-chance crossovers brought by the author who keeps on giving, Ursula Le Guin. 😊📚 susiewilliamson.blog/2026/08/07/l...

The morning after a poetry filled weekend at Totnes Fringe Festival. So much colour and theatrical wonder, and a moment of sharing a poem for the birds in the courtyard of Totnes museum, with swallows dipping and diving to and fro overhead. #totnes #poetry

Burrator reservoir, beautifully wild, rugged paths that in places can barely be called paths, super lush fern, chiff chaffs, damsel flies, ponies, & an old oak copse with mossy green boulders. Magic. 🍃 #dartmoor #devon

Novel edits are in, a few tweaks on an old short story re-hashed, soon to return to the next novel wip... and writing moves on. We write, we edit, we polish, and we grow through the layers, all the while learning and changing, in writing as in life, the life of a writer. ❤️

I truly love and enjoy writing. The chaos, the surprises, discipline, dead-ends, ghost roads, focus, catharsis, that feeling of being changed by my own work. I wouldn’t outsource this to AI software for *anything*. But then again, I’m an actual writer who enjoys writing.

After (unintentionally) pumping the brakes on short story writing for a year or so, I'm very excited and pleased to announce that my story "Nanny Rutt" has been accepted into "Folklore Horror" by Flame Tree Press! I love working with Flame Tree Press, and their books are always gorgeous!
