It has, already, been a morning (sleepless child bouncing around the house at 4am, a power cut just as I’m about to have a shower, deadlines upon deadlines), and now I find that there is *almost* no milk in the house. Am I desperate enough…?
I got my author’s copies of @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social version of THE DUNGEON BOOK, out August 11th…
Tonight! *checks* Yes, Tonight! On yooooooooooouuuuutube. youtube.com/live/-nceGPy...

Just got my US author’s copies, and the paperback is a lovely little thing. Look at me, not writing a 500+ page brick for once.
Terribly, horribly gauche to quote myself, but I've a book to shill (Dungeonbookoutaugust11th)
So, THE DUNGEON BOOK (out August 11th) has chapter art by @edelrh7.bsky.social, and we’ve put it on cards. If you’ve preordered the book, reply to this thread with proof (or a blood oath to that effect); I’ll randomly pick a reply or two and send out a set of cards…
My DUNGEON BOOK (Kipling's Jungle Book in a D&D-esque dungeon) is out on August 11th from Orbit Books. www.orbit-books.co.uk/titles/garet...
One month to go before the Dungeon Book launches on August 11th! Preorders are very much appreciated!
Running a game? Easy. Answering questions in an interview? Fun! Answering questions at a con in front of hundreds of people? Honestly, fine. Trying to record a quick piece direct to camera with no-one else there? Hideous. Unthinkable. Ok, let's go for take 24...
It varied depending on what was going on. In an ideal world, 1000 words of fiction a day would work for me, and I kind of got close to that, but not in an even or comfortable manner.
And done. Apart from all the editing, and fixing, and cutting, and, and, and, and, and so much more. But for now, through hell and high water and higher deadlines, done.
Twin #2 made me a video for Father's Day, and with his permission I inflict it on all of you.
I sit on my hands for a year, not saying anything, and Francesco... he just interviews it out :)
Learn now the Rule of the Dungeon, writ many levels deep... Illustrations by @edelrh7.bsky.social - there's one at the start of each chapter. (Those who know our family can spot the cameos.) THE DUNGEON BOOK is out August 11th, and is available for pre-order now.
Expo purchases/thefts/gifts - Page Turners, Full Send, Hobbit Tales, Hands of the White Wizard, Age of Beowulf Poems, Air Land & Sea II, Glitch, a dice bag, and a kickstarted Gallows Corner set that arrived while I was at the con so I'm counting it.
One moment, I shall attempt to reconstruct the moment and remake the expression.
