This is what I worked on all summer: an 80-page Dan Dare graphic novella (the first of three), in collab with the incomparable @marclaming.bsky.social, @b7media.bsky.social, and The Dan Dare Corp.

If you’re at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social, free prints at B7’s booth! And go say hi to Marc, too

If you prefer digital, they’re all on digital—yes, including MADI and TRUE WAR STORIES, finally!

Many libraries have copies too, both physical and via Libby/Hoopla. I LOVE it when you borrow my books from your local library!

You can also buy my books from a local indie comic shop and if you are in a mostly English-speaking country I can give you links to stores that will mail to you!

Every comic book writer is listening to this novelist whinge about how hard it is to bring a character back from the dead like, “bruh”

Happy November to this guy, 11 months indoors with us now after a sojourn on the mean streets of Brooklyn. He definitely started out as a housecat but something bad must have happened to his people

My agent is @tinyfairyhunter.bsky.social so if you are an editor of an imprint thinking “I wish romantasy was queerer / more m/m and also had incredible, immersive worldbuilding that brought a medieval era viscerally to life” HAVE I GOT GOOD NEWS FOR YOU, also I have plans for 2 more similar books

Wish me luck—The Scottish Boy (+ a new, similar book!!!) is out on sub to publishers, hoping to find a new home post-Unbound.

The book sold out 3 print runs & did big audio numbers on word of mouth, so I hope a new publisher can build on that. If you liked the book, pls RT 💕 synopsis in alt txt

Popping back online real fast to talk about @kibblesmith.com’s delightful HOW TO SURVIVE THE MARVEL UNIVERSE, which is out next week but we got an early copy—and it is teenager and cat approved. Looking for a gift for kids/teens? This is it bookshop.org/a/23067/9781...

NYC (and nearby)! The rescue I volunteer for just took in a sweet,
middle-aged small pup (15lbs) who was abandoned in Brooklyn. He’s neutered and good natured; his people must have suffered some catastrophe. Can you foster him? If so, @ me and I will get you in touch with the rescuer! Pls RT!
