Every day might as well be #WorldBookDay for Donna Creosote, but that doesn't mean you can't help her celebrate this one by reading about her unusual quest... Available either from your local bookshop or direct from the Bluemoose Books site: bluemoosebooks.com/books/less-tha… #lovereading

Happy Publication Day to a fellow Mooseketeer! I've heard great things, and look forward to reading it soon!

Very excited to see Paul Scraton joining the Bluemoose Books stable! Do moose have stables? Regardless, this is great news, and if you're as yet unfamiliar with Paul Scraton's work, I recommend trying 'Built on Sand', to whet your appetite for more: uk.bookshop.org/a/2777/9781910…

Thrilled that my first publication of 2023 is 'Every Home Should Have One', in the excellent The Dread Machine. Concerns a door-to-door salesman with a bit of a difference, and why it might be so easy to lose track of time.... #scifi #SciFiFri #shortstory thedreadmachine.com/every-home-sho…

ICYMI: Here's my latest #shortstory. Very chuffed with it, & LOVE the illustration that accompanies it too! Also, please consider subscribing to The Dread Machine to support all the other great work they release, & the top-notch editorial input & artwork they provide!

Love it when a story gets a response like this! Thanks again Shaun van Rensburg ! If you haven't read it yet, might I humbly suggest that you take a quick gander - and, while you're there, sample some of the other great fiction The Dread Machine publish! #reading #shortstories

NEW STORY! Or, rather, an old story that has finally found a good home, after 7 1/2 years, 40 submissions, a few close calls, and countless edits and rewrites. It's just one of those that I couldn't give up on, and I'm delighted to see it out in the world! #shortstory #keepgoing

It will take you 5 minutes to read this short short by Mary Soon Lee over at IZDigital, but it's well worth it. A lovely story of turtle mythology. #marysoonlee #sff #worldturtle #fantasy #scifi #interzone #izdigital interzone.digital/false-dichotom…

Welcome to episode 625. We have one tale tonight, about a sham medium whose success (and sanity) are put in jeopardy when she develops real talent. (By Dan Micklethwaite, read by Georgia Cook). talestoterrify.com/episodes/625-d…

Thrilled to share my first publication of the year, a reprint/audio version of 'No Use Crying'! It's a pleasure to be featured again on such a great podcast, & I couldn't have asked for better narration, courtesy of Georgia Cook! Story starts around 6mins30 - I hope you enjoy!

I was very privileged to read (and play a small part in editing) a draft of this book a couple of years ago, and found it enchanting! If you're based in #WestYorkshire (or further afield) and love lyrical fantasy fiction, I highly recommend this launch: eventbrite.co.uk/e/cage-of-nigh…

Happy Publication Day to Orla Owen for CHRIST ON A BIKE, the latest release from the brilliant Bluemoose Books! Buy it direct from their site: bluemoosebooks.com/books/christ-b…, or your favourite bookshop!

Delighted & grateful to have won the Short Story Category in the Minds Shine Bright 'Confidence' Writing Competition, with 'Blackpool Solo'! mindsshinebright.com/monthly-update… Had a lovely time at the online awards ceremony, too, hearing other writers read their excellent work. More updates soon!
