Urghhh! Someone out there is trying to scam people. They reach out to authors and offer to promote their books in my writers' groups or book groups. I don't do book promotion! If you get such a phishing email, please report it. This is how: support.google.com/mail/answer/...

Deep in the English countryside an evil presence awakes…
The Decadence by Leon Craig is the queer horror lockdown novel you’ve been waiting for. It's absolutely brilliant and launches this Thursday at @owlbookshop.bsky.social

Just a few spots left ..! I'm so looking forward to being guest author on the @arvonfoundation.bsky.social Fiction Writing Course at The Hurst this December. I was part of author Suzannah Dunn's workshop at @manchester.ac.uk 25 years ago and she is incredible. I blame her for everything!
I'm hugely excited to be guest tutoring at the @arvonfoundation.bsky.social this December alongside brilliant novelists Suzannah Dunn and Stephen May. This five-day residential workshop will take place at Shropshire's The Hurst and it sells out, so...!

To be fair, I'd be happy to be called queen of anything, but "queen of the long-hot-summer lit thriller" is very nice indeed..
And another mention for @victoriagosling.bsky.social , the newest queen of the long-hot-summer lit thriller

Thank you to @clothesinbooks.bsky.social for this lovely review of Bliss And Blunder, my modern-day retelling of the Arthurian legend. I also love the choice of images and clothes to go with the novel.
A really clever engrossing book, a literary murder mystery, a wonderful picture of the world today, with a straight line referring back to the Arthurian legends. Bliss and Blunder by Victoria Gosling -funny and sad and delightful and thought-provoking

Stuff your face until you can't walk. Buy nice clothes and costume jewellery. I also like the Musee Carnavalet, history of the city - great oil paintings of the siege, etc.
