Another writer fleeing Twitter. 30 years of videogame-adjacent scrawling and also, these days, weird short stories. Pics of cats, books and foxes likely.

NICE. Took mine to Edge-Lit because I thought it'd be funny to ask her to sign it to Leigh from Leigh, then completely missed her 😖 Enjoy though!

The light is on for Leigh Loveday! @leighloveday.bsky.social💡

“Under Aegis” is a breathtaking story of loss and rage that breathes new life into old mythology.

Check out Leigh’s incredible writing over at the site!

I was amazed he kept it on! Anything for tuna and to make himself appear innocent of crimes though...

I'll pass it on when he resurfaces - he disappeared after breakfast to sleep through the day, ready to terrorise under cover of darkness 😼

Sounds good to me. Especially as I have a bundle of cinema tickets to use up so it's either this or Tron: Arse.

Worth a watch? I am intrigued by the trailers and must trust in the humanity of the filmmakers to not let the good boy come to any harm 🤞

Two photos of an anthology titled What Comes to Light, one showing the front cover with Arsehole the imperious tabby cat looming behind it, and another one with Oscar the elderly ginger cat pretending to be interested in a story called Threequarter Lane

Spent so much actual pocket change on Magician Lord, and still never got past that frog-filled nonsense-fest, the Anderground Passage of Terror.

GNU Jilly Cooper. Jilly and dad were friends and the only person I’ve known to call him ‘Tel’. Hope they’re both having a big drink somewhere.
