Wonderful picture.

A photo of the Reform Party office in Caerphilly. There is a metal shutter on which someone has graffitied "Now you can fuck off home"

I am not worried about the Renegade Master because theh are clearly only armed with a dagger, and I have like 50 hit points.

My most popular cartoon by a long chalk is also oddly niche, in that it mostly appeals to a generation who remember the song it refers to and enjoy the nostalgia for their youth. I can draw one for you if you like.

www.worldofmoose.com/collections/...
Cartoon: simple black and white line drawing. A couple in a living room. The man is sitting in an armchair reading a newspaper, head turned slightly towards his wife who is standing at the window, tugging at the curtain and saying "I see the Renegade Master's back once again with the ill behaviour".

Nils reviews Rachel Harrison's latest haunted-house horror PLAY NICE

"powerfully feminist, cleverly uncanny and darkly witty. Harrison never fails to deliver addictive, contemporary horror with a good slice of fun!"

Ooh, if you're in the US, you can now enter a giveaway for an Enchanting the Fae Queen ARC (one of 50!) on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Join my mischievous chaos queen and my stoic and noble hero for their madcap romantic adventures. :) "All's fae in love and war!"

#romancelandia
This image shows the cover of Enchanting the Fae Queen with the surrounding text: Goodreads Giveaways: Enter for a chance to win a free copy of my book! The illustrated cover itself shows a mischievously grinning woman with long blonde curls, a moonstone crown, a pink dress and bare feet, sitting perched in a tree teasing the uniformed general who stands before her, his expression determined and one of his hands around her closest leg while she pokes his strong nose with one finger. Vines of leaves sweep magically out from the tree around her to draw him towards her. The tagline reads: All’s fae in love and war.

This is an utterly nonsensical way to report the really relieving news that Plaid Cymru, a party which espouses all sorts of liberal values including trans rights, etc. (and which isn't even mentioned in this headline!!!) won the election by a 47% landslide, well ahead of Reform as well as Labour.

Reuters: Britain's ruling Labour Party suffered a heavy electoral defeat in Wales, a traditional stronghold, in a result that highlights the threat posed by the Reform UK party, as the government struggles to revive the economy and ease fears about immigration

Guillermo del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN

Forget what you know. This is the most faithful and most gorgeous take on Shelley's novel.

Gothic splendour, glorious excess, and a true compassion for the monster.

The Redstone Rescue is a low fantasy detective adventure story in which the famous detective's sidekick steps in to protect the utopia she calls home. Topically this week, it begins with a stolen crown. Packed with mystery, peril, romance, and some good jokes. turnanother.page/book/the-red...
