Coder, musician, and, (YES!), author. UK Green lefty. Debut novel out now. WARNING! Contains politics, humour & swearing! Get it here:
Here's a snippet from my book - that tells you absolutely nothing! You can read mere, (and even buy it!), here: www.amazon.co.uk/Starless-Bib...
Emailed my MP. If anyone wants a starter template, you can find it here: substack.com/@stevehaddon...
Is there any possibility that we could just have reporting of facts? Remember those days?
FFS change.org. I sign a petition urging the UK Government to stop using X. And they email me with this! Yeah... help this petition, by... Posting on X.
I guess it was you, who sent the email... www.amazon.co.uk/Starless-Bib...
One of the antagonists in my novel is a useless, self-centred bull-shitter - who happens to be the UK PM. I tried hard to make this character incredibly vile & stupid. And yet... he doesn't come close to Farage. www.amazon.co.uk/Starless-Bib...
Funny, even when it's dealing with serious shit! If you've read my book already, just pop that into a review on Amazon. If you haven't... What? Why? There are no good reasons for not reading it. You are letting me, (and yourself), down. www.amazon.co.uk/Starless-Bib...
This is Captain Cat. He's in my book. And he's disappointed he didn't get a bigger part. That's because my book has nothing to do with cats! However, it does have humour, politics, sci-fi? and an important message. Check it out. www.amazon.co.uk/Starless-Bib...
And a 5* review on Goodreads too. Come on... you know you need this book. Maybe? read.amazon.co.uk/sample/19194...
I got another 5* star review on Amazon. You can read a sample here: read.amazon.co.uk/sample/19194...
Had a fucking brilliant idea yesterday; posted a Note on Substack; and was inundated with supportive feedback... Well, someone asked what the rules are! #SlowWriter
There are many books that I've loved, and have stayed with me. But, for me, the standout is "The Time Traveller's Wife". You buy into the, (let's be honest), outrageous premise, without questioning it. How is that done? Brilliant writing!
I... I... I got a review of my book. Someone read it; got the message; enjoyed it; and then took the time to review it on Amazon. I can't tell you how rewarding that is. If you've read my book, give me a review. If you haven't... just look at the review. This is a FOMO situation! Get your copy now.
Look what's on the back cover of my debut novel. Although, it has more connection to "Under Milk Wood" than "Trainspotting". No... it has buggeralL to do with "Under Milk Wood". And I'm no Dylan Thomas. But it is based in Llareggub. You can find it here: www.amazon.co.uk/Starless-Bib...
Here's my self-published debut novel. Zero AI - why would anyone do that? Every word, typed by me. Front cover by Anze Ban V., back cover by me. Link & blurb below. www.amazon.co.uk/Starless-Bib...
Occasionally - very occasionally - something turns up Quora, that's worth repeating:

Long shot here! Trump didn't place his hand on the bible, so he was never sworn in. So, he's not the president. Just send the men in white coats to the White House, to take him off to where he belongs.
Gone from "Nah, fonts aren't important" to obsessing over them for a week. Not there yet - as there are zillions to try - but here's my latest effort. Tell me what is "says to you".
P.S. Faffing about has included mucking about with AI (Freepic) to create a cover. It's not perfect - and I will get someone "proper" to do it - but I think it gives a pretty good idea of what it's about. So... what does this "say"?
Dear all sane (non-dictator) leaders of the world, When are you going to say it out loud... in public: "This man is fucking insane!"
Here's one I found yesterday. Which, admittedly, I've walked past dozens of times without realising what it was.
