weird to get a royalty statement that doesn't make me want to weep in despair but there you go, there's a first time for everything.

Shelfies #73: Henry Wessells He told me to change one word (he was right), and we were friends for more than 25 years.

If you can believe it, we've reached #Shelfies 78! (or is it 73?). Antiquarian bookseller Henry Wessells shares some of his favourites here, including Kavan, Gilman and Straub. What else can you spot?

debating which of the at least 6 novels i'm supposed to write i should write

congrats!

rather undeserved, i always thought

also i already have one in a drawer somewhere

and yes, this is the second book I'm reading while taking a break from the gigantic ICE by Dukaj, which I am about 3/4 of the way through now! 1100pp!

Starting probably with AUSTRAL, through WAR OF THE MAPS and BEYOND THE BURN LINE (both of which I loved) and into LOSS PROTOCOL.

but mud HAS to be involved or why even bother

Well, I started reading Paul McAuley's LOSS PROTOCOL. I have a sense of Paul having quietly began a sort of new phase, from the extravagance of say, FAIRYLAND to the melancholic grandeur of THE WAR OF THE MAPS, continued here, with some lovely, quiet, heartfelt writing.

also well done! but will you have to mud wrestle paul kincaid (i like to imagine that's how the winner is decided)

as a serious author, i think it's wonderful you people have your own awards and things!

mine certainly do! 😀

Hey, this is cool!! @jonathanstrahan.bsky.social

I sail with the prevailing winds

my plans of controlling all of Earth TV FROM THE MOON are unravelling
