I think we need A League of Fantasy Murder Mystery Writers (The LoFMMW) to be ready to solve the inevitable baffling murder at FCon.

Definitely a good idea - especially as they're holding it in Midsomer next year.

This is A Good Book!

Loved this, and I’ve got the quote to prove it!

I've read this and GUYS it's so good

It's Friday, and this dropped.

Saw Wuthering Heights. Can't believe Wuthering dies of a broken heart. Such a ripoff of Star Wars.

I did the thing! I emailed, cold, the author of a book I liked to tell them it was good, and to say thanks. Know what? That's a good idea. You were all correct. Everyone should do that.

I would like to politely remind anyone who can nominate that I had a novel out last year, The Heist Of Hollow London.

The cover of 'writing for young people' by Elen Caldecott. A blue background, with illustrated stationery flying out of a box.

It is a NEW BOOK DAY! 'Writing for Young People', by me, is an accessible look at how fiction for children and young adults is crafted. In eight chapters, we take a DEEP DIVE into picturebooks, MG and YA with AUTHOR INTERVIEWS and WRITING EXERCISES #kidlit #ukkidlit uk.bookshop.org/p/books/writ...

You could get 15 of me for that price, damn.

Step aside, Hemingway. The five word short story has just dropped.

Just started it - what a book! Wow!

Right?? We are starved for events out here

Hiya! Do I know anyone who's planning on attending NORWESCON this year?
