On a black background, under the word 'Spotlight,' a pair of spotlights shine on the cover of Afterburn by D Andrews. On either side of the cover is the BBNYA logo.

Ok so someone recommended I make a mood board for the aesthetic for my book. I thought I’d struggle but actually this was fun. It’s my first mood board. What do you think? Does this give you the vibes for a book you might want to read?

That’s a wrap on my penultimate edit of the sequel to Afterburn and it’s already in my editor’s inbox. Is it equally or more fucked up than the first? ✅
Is it full of twists and tragedies? ✅
Is it ❤️breaking? Hope so ✅
Will the final book come out soon after? ✅
Stay tuned for more updates 👀
Nice little charity shop book haul today
I’m re-writing some scenes at the end of my sequel. Wrote about 3k words yesterday whilst removing about 2k. It should balance out, hopefully🤞
But for now time to put these books onto the bookshelf. I can’t believe the transformation of this room. Proper pics to follow.
Pic#3 is next up on my #tbr
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watchin' you

I’m also diving into this on ebook as it’s been sitting on my tbr for waaaay too long
After the absolute slog that was Dracula, I think I can safely assume the classics just aren’t for me personally. And now on to something completely different from my #tbr
I will never not watch a top ten video on YouTube about Judge Judy
You know you’re stressed when you started aggressively belting out Enya
Ok, I made really good progress last night so here’s my new starting point. I’m almost half way and I think I’m starting to get into the zone with these edits 🙌🏻
Afterburn is FREE on KU until 24th May only 🔥🔥
Get it whilst you can 👇

Me after promising I’d get the house painting tasks done quickly so I could crack on with edits 🙄
This morning’s mission brings me to the fabled land of IKEA. Wish me luck for I know not if I will ever return
So help me god, I am going to power through edits this long weekend. And if I don’t, may I be struck down, amen!
Patiently waiting to become disconnected from reality level of rich…waiting…still waiting…any time now

Book cover for vivid worlds anthology, edited by Donna Scott.
This wonderful solarpunk anthology launched at Eastercon!
It's edited by the brilliant @wishusdonna.bsky.social and has lots of great stories, including my first ever solarpunk short! I may have got a bit weird with it.
If you want solarpunk short stories then please check it out!
