alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

Went to Word Fantasy Con, then met up with a friend, then saw Garry Starr: Classic Penguins, then got whisky, and now I’m getting 24h bagel sandwiches so I feel I’ve crammed quite a lot into today, actually

Nearly 25 years ago I wrote a long Tolkien fanfiction about Faramir and Éowyn and what happened after the fairy-tale. I posted chapters as I was writing them: it became my first full-length novel…

I was hoping that he’d be with me for a little longer, but it’s looking like Friday is the day
It’s looking more and more likely that I’ll be saying goodbye to my best boy before the month is out
