Do you like Lucha Libre films, like the Santo movies? Then you will very much enjoy these Señor 105 adventures!

Very excited for my novella Green Eyed and Grim to now be in print, in a collection alongside @signorfurioso.bsky.social & @stuartdouglas.com

Book cover. Title: The Periodic Adventures of Senor 105. Faded background image of buildings and a lucha libre mask. Foreground image of a 1970s looking scientific gadget with a screen saying: Senor 105 and the Secret Santa, Green Eyed and Grim, The Five Faces of Fear.

The Black Archive @blackarchive.co.uk · 3d

Out now in paperback, ebook and the usual combo deal - THE MYSTERIOUS PLANET, Black Archive #79, written by Jez Strickley!

A much under-rated story and Bob Holmes' last full script, MP is packed with duality - and for once, it's not just his dodgy double acts!

I cannot say enough good things about Jon Blum's story for the @obversebooks.co.uk collection 'Party Like It's 1998'. The whole collection is amazing, but this story tickles my brain like nothing else.

Washington Post opinion guy says they'll air all views, giving the examples of 'Trump makes a good point' and 'Democrats who agree with Trump make a good point'.

Mike Boylan-Kolchin @mbkplus.bsky.social · 15d

I'm sure we all look forward to this new and bold direction:

"So one day we might be saying, 'Hey, you know, the president has a good point about Bagram Air Base, right? At the other time, we might praise Democrats who are standing up to [New York City mayoral candidate Zohran] Mamdani and his radicalism. And at the same time, we'll criticize the Trump administration when we think they get it wrong. So, if anyone thinks that our project here is about one president or just tactical partisan moves, I think that's really short- sighted, and they're just not reading or watching or listening to us very closely, frankly," O'Neal said.

Yayyy!!! This book traveled a long distance, through space and time (and stupid tariffs) to finally get to me.

No tariff duties are ever due for books, even post Trump tariffs - but the Royal Mail is now charging 50p per parcel to ship to the States. And they wonder why their business is dying a death?

No thanks. I'll go elsewhere.

Ah, should say ebook only (we couldn't afford even to pay the printing costs, far less royalties, if we reduced the paperbacks even more!)
