Reject modernity; return to playing children's card games with your friends.

huwsteer.wordpress.com/2025/10/12/c...

Last weekend I had an absolutely delightful time returning to the age of 10, and spending the day playing children’s card games with my friends. I have never stopped loving Yu-Gi-Oh. I’ve played th…

What's that new story of mine in @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social #44 about, then? Let me explain.

New Story – The Bull Beneath

When the Romans left Britain, they left a lot behind. They left roads, they left fortresses, they left whole cities. London, Londinium-as-was, was a thriving place under Rome, the biggest city in t…

I don't write horror often, but when I do, it seems to keep ending up in Grimdark.

Very excited to be alongside this beautiful bunch of authors!

if someone could buy just a single specific book before the end of the month that would be great

It's one of those days, unfortunately; I think (I kinda hope) that most writers on here can relate

The Nothing Days

my book marketing is so unsuccessful that every day I get closer to replying to the endless promo service spam emails

Just finished (about 5 months late) listening to the first draft of my audiobook, and I think... I think I might actually be a decent writer?

Hard carried by the narration, ofc, but still. That book ain't bad.

I forgot that I put a musical combination lock in this book. Quite a good idea now that I think about it.

Sometimes I think my writing is just a vehicle to explore the weird bits of semi-magical technology that keep sprouting in my brain.

My marketing process:

1. "I should make a witty book post"

2. have no ideas

3. stare at screen for half an hour

4. give up

5. wonder why I don't sell many books

6. repeat

...anyway I write books, they're quite good, read them if you want I guess

You can tell stories without a single word if you're clever. And also if you're making film or videogames, it's quite hard to write a story without writing.
