So this was me yesterday at a book event just before a guy walked straight up to the stall and bought all 7 of my books. He is my new hero and I beseech all you book buyers to BE MORE 7-BOOK GUY!

Harsh, #bookextravaganza, harsh. Mrs B will have something to say about this

I'll be at the Royal Pump Rooms in Leamington Spa tomorrow at the fabulous @bookextravaganza Book Extravaganza - come say hello to some wonderful indie authors and buy a book or three! #SciFi #indieauthor #BookSky

And that's a wrap - Wild Skies (Star Runners, book 3) is done! Having written it sober, I shall now be editing it drunk, which I believe is the best and most up-to-date writing advice available #SciFi #indieauthor #BookSky #amwriting

I read anything by @davedobson.bsky.social - the man does shopping lists, I'm in. 'Best' is a campus rom-com, a world away from his usual thrillers, SciFi or fantasy books, but the plotting as always is tight, the dialogue spot on, and the story and quirky characters engaging. Another great read.

Rex had faced many different challenges in many different worlds but the fecking wind in Coventry would be his greatest test

How many SciFi writers does it take to sell a book in a heatwave in a medieval monastery? At Coventry #bookextravaganza with @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social and Neil J Hart

The table layout is prepped, the new retro space merch inspected, and the carry cart packed - Coventry #bookextravaganza here I come!

When the famous author of the best and strangest SciFi book you’ve ever read follows you on Bluesky

I will be selling (hopefully) & signing (try & stop me) books on Sunday 12 July at the @bookextravaganza.bsky.social Coventry Festival of Books Come say hi and a free Odyssey Earth crew badge will be pinned to your magnificent book-buying chest (other parts of the body are available) #BookSky

I’m terribly sorry to have to announce that this is the view from my hotel balcony. Sincere apologies.

I had this yesterday. It wasn’t fine

‘Epilare Definitiva’ is the name of my new retro Romanian disco-pop band

Post a pic where you are right now, no explanation necessary

A Belgian beer in Brussels today with a disturbingly high alcohol percentage, just to keep you company

I’ll just have half a glass of wine, she said Right you are then

They're back - and in trouble again Dix, Alard, Vaskez, and Drake - a misfit crew if ever there was one - run foul of a local bigwig, the mad monks of Hauga are hot on their heels, and the psycho Axis mercs aren’t far behind Hiding isn't going to cut it anymore. Time to run ➡️ mybook.to/HideSeek

Next up from my indie book sale haul is The Screaming Void by @dnschmidt.com. You want multifarious aliens of varying colours and limbs, wrapped up in a neat space salvage crew comic opera, this is the tale for you. It’s a vintage blast of technicolour SciFi with a wisecracking edge #BookSky

In the best possible way - wtf did I just read? You could say @ewdocparris.com ‘Dent in the Universe’ is a serial killer-time machine-end of days-zombie apocalypse-horror. Or you could just say it’s brilliant - blistering, gripping and utterly original. Loved it! 💙📚🪐 #BookSky

If there’s a finer hotel vending machine anywhere I’d like to know about it #Ireland #Westport

If you don’t leave the plane, or spend at least a night at your destination, then I don’t think you can say you’ve been to that moon, I mean country

The Met Office has named the coming UK storm 'Dave.' Just trotting after me, guys, just trotting after

I think we've forgotten how exciting it is for humans to go to the moon. I was a kid in the '69–72 heyday - heck, I even wrote a book about it at the time. Not long after I was scouring the local library for those yellow-jacket Victor Gollancz SciFi books - the thrill has stayed with me forever
