'As the likely next government, Labour has a historic opportunity to modernise UK democracy and rebuild trust in politics. We call on Labour to make a public commitment within their first 100 days in office to implement Proportional Representation (PR). Doing so will demonstrate their support for a modern democracy that works for everyone, not just the rich and powerful.'

All right, let's start timing when those emails come in. Or, to put it another way, how prepared were all the various parties and political movements.

Election was announced at 17.17.

Let's go. When did those emails start hitting my inbox?

Oh, fedi. Do I have a tale of internet stupidity for you.

This is the story of me trying – and repeatedly failing – to set myself up to advertise my books on Facebook.

What’s the cardinal role of being an author? What’s the first thing you learn?

Even if you’re not an author yourself, you’ve probably seen enough instances of #AuthorsBehavingBadly to know this one.

A different kind of #MutualAid request…

Are you in, the #UK, #Canada, or the #USA? I need some assistance from one reader in each of those countries, please.

What do you get out of this? A free book! An actual physical book! You can take your pick between the Starship Teapot books or the Vigilauntie Justice books.

What do I get out of this? To test my new website and fulfilment system!

Comment below or DM me and I'll send you instructions and a link.

#FrozenHeck has gone to @cknightwrites for the first stage of editing. Which means I now have four weeks to completely rebuild my website/store. From scratch. It's a bit of a gargantuan task. Eek!

Wish me luck!

Henry, the unswearing robot, is so much fun to write. Her dialogue is a joy.

Frozen Heck (Starship Teapot #4) is coming this summer. Catch up on the series now.

The Brookmill Nature Reserve is hosting an open day!

If you’ve read #AllTeaNoShadeAndABitOfMurder, you’ll know that the nature reserve plays a key role in the story.

I’m ridiculously excited about this.

I’ve currently got tennis elbow, which has led to an interesting observation and a strange conversation between @xtaldave and me.

I use my right hand for fine motor work but my left hand for brute strength. Dave is a lefty and uses the same hand for both fine motor work and for strength.

What about you?

Today I learnt that #Lem is Scouse slang for cocaine. Oops.

Don’t mind me … just sitting here writing cosy space opera about Cocaine and the Gang.

Intergalactic kidnappers! A chatty horse! Sentient glitter gas! And a dog!

When Lem and her dog retreat from the city for a few days, they don’t expect to wind up aboard the Starship Teapot with adorable alien bounty hunters.

I bought my parents a new stove. I forwarded them the email from BestBuy. I told them the delivery would be on Saturday and that BestBuy would contact them to arrange a 3h delivery window.

My dad got a call from someone who said, I’m calling from BestBuy to arrange delivery of your—

My dad shouted at the caller about phone spam and hung up.

Time for another #ReadingRoundup. I read 43 books in January and February. These are 5 of my favourites.

#LambdaLiterary made a very considered, well-written press release saying (basically) ‘genocide is bad’. This has made a lot of queer authors very, VERY angry.

Imagine being a queer author in 2024 and having the audacity to be angry that a queer author group makes a political statement. In 2024.

Imagine being a queer author in 2024 and telling a queer author group to (and I quote) 'stay in your lane'.

Well, I suppose there's a first time for everything.

Today's review of The Left Hand of Dog calls the book 'too normal'.

If you'd like to read an ordinary, typical, common book about an aro-ace agender IT project manager and her dog who get kidnapped by giant space bunnies, click now. Prices are going up … soon.
