So chuffed to have my climate short story in this anthology’s wonderful lineup! Life in far-future biodomes saving temperate ecosystems 🙂 Thanks to editor @wishusdonna.bsky.social and NewCon Press.

Yes, you will I’m certain, it’s made such an impact on readers’ lives. Nothing out there like it.

Such a huge body of work, congrats Andy. It has been one of the most innovative and influential things to have happened in publishing for years. I’m hoping that once rested & reinvigorated that some ‘specials’ may pop up perhaps. Too good not to continue. Meanwhile raising my tea to you all, bravo!

Tomorrow we release the final episode of Backlisted for the foreseeable future.* After ten years, it's a very odd feeling. I am looking forward to spending more time with my books and fewer times on social media.

When I interviewed Spinal Tap and Marty DiBergi this summer, none of them broke character, for the whole hour. Except Rob Reiner, once, losing it when Michael McKean's David St Hubbins talked about minimalism. I didn't use this in the feature and hadn't published any audio, but this is joyful.

Choosing to focus, on hearing the news of Rob Reiner's passing, to remember this moment where he was so overcome with joy and laughter that he - the director of the movie - was one of many people banished from the set in order to finish filming.
