Despite being advised not to write about the 2022
FIFA World Cup in Qatar, here it is. Available only on Amazon, buy the eBook and treat yourself to the coffee table book for Christmas. And that's @shellbywoo.bsky.social on the cover. Metro, This Way! Out now.

Did a marathon, watched some football. Sunday done well.

Hey, I'm writing a new book. Football fiction novel no. 7 is underway. Life is relentless at the moment, so progress has been slow, and there's simply too much football going on. Season's nearly over. Time to get cracking. #author #writer #books #AuthorsOfTwitter #writing #novels #fiction #reading

@vizcomic.bsky.social Here's my rather poor attempt at a Viz-style joke. "I've got a couple of bucks burning a hole in my pocket" I'm sure you could draw it better and put it in a better context. Hey, I'm no cartoonist.

Match Day Minus One training for @the-matildas.bsky.social. Smiles, sunshine, laughter and a good tempo. It's amazing what an extra hour's sleep can do for the soul. Game day can't come quickly enough. See you in Newcastle.

I don't know why I post on @bsky.app - the amount of engagement is minimal. Maybe it's what I post, it just doesn't go to anyone new, maybe my circle is too small.

But post I will; surely this is a better place to hang out than the alternative.

Here's a review of Anna Black - This Girl Can Play.

No, but were you really there if you didn’t leave with one of these? @ccmariners.bsky.social @aleague.bsky.social @perthglory.bsky.social #womensfootball

Featured in the Manly Observer... Come and meet the author and a host of other football writers on Sunday 30th March. A celebration of writing and an opportunity to understand where a good football story comes from.

NEW RANGE : The Texi Smith shinpad collection has dropped. Another wonderful creation from @munkfc.bsky.social, in time for the 2025 season. Oh yes, I am highly amused.

A #goodreads book review for Jarrod Black - Chasing Pack. If that doesn’t make you want to pick up a football fiction novel and rekindle your love of reading, nothing will.

Getting as far away from football as possible on a horror weekend for @sydneyfootballclub.bsky.social and @newcastleunited.com

Greetings from Mont Vallon. Blue sky, great snow, #sydneyfc always on my mind. #meribel

First game of the year at Commbank Stadium yesterday and it was an exciting one. Without the benefit of commentary, I thought Kraev should have gone for his leg-breaker in the opening stages, and I was concerned that the ref was too lenient. Family man Luke Brattan waving to his family. Wholesome.

Australia’s newest #matildas hero at St James’ Park to see @newcastleunited.com see out 2024 with a win. Abebi to sign for the Toon? A worldwide phenomenon, this #football #fiction cracker from @fairplaybooks.bsky.social is certainly going places. #nufc #australia #books #author #bestseller #toon

Well, someone has picked the perfect book for a holiday read! Merry Christmas to everyone who has read a Texi Smith novel, read any of my articles over the year or clicked on texismith.com for football content. To the rest of you, have a good Christmas too, I guess😀 #fiction #football #australia

Special event at Allianz today saw #football fans go crazy for these two best-selling Aussie female football fiction novels. Anna Black and her teammate Abebi at the scene of their greatest triumphs! @the-matildas.bsky.social heroes you need to read about.

Really enjoyed this evening’s book launch at #gleebooks in Sydney. Author David Weiner in conversation with @niavowens.bsky.social, and an interesting chat too. A man who is passionate about #football and wants to educate the young’uns about those wonderful moments for the national teams. Bravo!

Hey how’s this for a haul? Looking forward to getting stuck in to these cracking titles from @fairplaybooks.bsky.social. Pre-Xmas pop-up shop, perfect! One of them isn’t even officially released. #football #australia #reading #soccer #books

This is Margaret. She is the matriarch of the Smith family and an avid reader, but not normally of football books. Perhaps one of my most honest critics, the feedback from my latest novel Abebi blew me away. She loved it. "You are a good story teller." Means more than you'd think. Validated! #mam
