Seriously @manchesterup.bsky.social lucked out with me. Marketing landmine... I mean goldmine.

Me in my bathroom looking manic. Wearing yellow and red, the same colours as my book with the same logo on the tshirt. The book is blurred and upside down. I am dishevelled.

Bugger! World book day! Sugar sugar bollocking bugger balls!!! Marketing.... Ok. All my author friends are doing it. Get with it Sacha!!! Dress as my book? Yes. Hold book? Yes. Look approachable? ...
#worldbookday

Me: MIKEY! You know that's not appropriate! Read the room!!

Mikey: Mow

Making a t-shirt for every neurodiverse gay man who is struggling right now and remembers how much that one English teacher was rooting for them...

Thanks @caelan.bsky.social.

Publishers have been informed. This is sadly the world we live in.

Shelby. We arm wrestle at dawn!

Yaaaay... they made an AI slop fake of my book.🫠 Please dont be tricked. No idea who Shelby is but I imagine they're not even a real person. X

Yes. The ISBNs of both versions should be linked.

The bear understood. As the bear's own cat has him firmly under his claw!

There was a poor bear who wrote a book...

Which then becomes an epic gay love story when he wrestles and falls in love with Gilgamesh and they kill demons together!

They dont carve them like they used to...

Awwwww you did you did!

My diary: *Bends a steel girder over its knee, spits on the floor and chuckles malevolently*

It's me. I'm posing like an idiot. In a red t-shirt. With a metal ring behind my head that looks a bit like a halo if you squint.

i could be your angle... or yuor devil

I'm off to see my publisher @manchesterup.bsky.social for a coffee today... and I want to take a minute to acknowledge just how impossible and out of reach that statement was only 6 months ago!

Smoot Haj is the most wanted card shark in Mos Esley, they say his family were bought by the Hutts after an unfortunate cheating incident on Coruscant.

Things in my gym that look like background Star Wars characters with surprisingly indepth lore.

Me at Dulwich Picture Gallery in front of 'Saint Sebastian ' by Guido Reni.

As ever I come to the end of #LGBTQplushistorymonth both elated and exhausted! It's a damn privilege to get to share stories of people like me that came before... also I look forward to having a weekend again!

But.
Remember.
Queer history doesn't stop when February ends.

Every now then I just spontaneously think 'I just wanna kiss ma fish, drive ma truck' and crack up laughing!

You sound like chat GPT! 😅

An image of Fitzrovia in london: a region of central North London. Tube stop, red bus and BT Tower.

The bizarre gravity defying castle of the Castlevania tv series.

What people mean when they say Fitzrovia VS what I picture...

In the balls, where the pee is stored.

Talking about anal sex in a fancy gallery to a group of fancy people in one of London's fanciest districts... I love my stupid job 😅

I think straight people have souls and I'm not afraid to say it.

@sachacoward.bsky.social You’ll be pleased to learn that Bradford Equity Book Club has chosen Queer As Folklore for their next book! 🌈

I AM!!!!
