Had great fun chatting to Jen. You should check out her podcast showcase the talent of the north (plus me, haha).
'I know so many neurodivergent writers who have had rejections for "unrelatable" characters.'

Novelist @alethearlyons.bsky.social joins me on Northern Voices today to talk about diversity, writing and why AI isn't actually 'intelligent'.

We think in stories.
We talk in stories.
We believe in stories.
We are stories.

Our identity is the character we play in the story of our lives... And it is of immeasurable importance to us.

Oh, hello. Did you just slip away from the dining table because your Uncle was ranting again?

Try this story about a Thanksgiving weekend that ends in death. Oops!

My books are now available on Rakuten Kobo starting December 18th 2025. Pre-orders are available.

When the unconventional daughter of a British Spy joins the family business and meets the unorthodox bastard son of an aristocrat, murder, mayhem and romance soon follow.

In issue 66.3 of EXTRAPOLATION, I review two new installments in Palgrave’s book series SFF A New Canon: J.G. BALLARD’S CRASH by Paul March-Russell and WILLIAM GIBSON’S NEUROMANCER by Graham J. Murphy. Both highly recommended.

Loose Ends is hitting that sweet spot for thriller fans—tight action, real tension, and a story that won’t let go once you’re in it.

If you’re looking for your next “read way too late at night” book, this might be the one.
