In a “literary phone booth” (cabina literaria) at #Celsius232 festival in Avilés. You can call up one of the attending authors and hear them read their work. Fun! #Booksky #writer #libros

Very lucky to meet the author & editor of the book you’re buying and get a signed copy. ¡Muchas gracias, Julia Diez! So many great books at the Apache Libros booth at Celsius 232 book festival in Avilés, Spain. #Celsius232 #Booksky

Lovely to meet Fatima Acaso, an author & illustrator, and her partner at Celsius 232 festival in Avilés. Check out the 1984 game that she illustrated! #Celsius232 #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #writer #Booksky

Librería Cervantes at Celsius 232 festival of science fiction, fantasy & horror in Avilés, Spain. So many great books, including some familiar authors in Spanish translation. ✨📚✨ #Celsius232 #writer #avilés

I just snatched a copy of El Monstruo de Nueve Cabezas in Spanish at Librería Cervantes at Celsius 232 festival of science fiction, fantasy & horror in Avilés, Spain. Experimental novel with 9 authors. Can’t wait to dig in and challenge & stretch my Spanish. 🔥🔥🔥 #Celsius232 #Booksky

I am thrilled to be at Celsius 232 Festival in Avilés, Spain. My first time here! (And the region of Asturias is gorgeous. Mountains, forests, beaches. More on that later.) #Celsius232 #booksky

A great day #hiking in the Holyrood Park around Arthur’s Seat in #Edinburgh. We have sunny & warm days in #Scotland once in a while. 😎🥾🥳

I was blown away by the #horror #film #BACKROOMS. Brilliant and deeply disturbing. To my mind, it’s a film about generative AI (without really being about it). I highly recommend it. See it in the cinema if you can! www.imdb.com/title/tt2665...

Thanks, Jeremy! Hi. My first short story collection is coming out this September. I am launching it on Kickstarter. With hand-drawn illustrations (by a pro artist) and author notes (by me). ✨✍️✨ Make my day & sign up for updates on my launch! 🥰🙏 www.kickstarter.com/projects/ver...

Flying back to Edinburgh. Not to brag, but I watched Inception in Spanish and understood maybe half of it. (It helped that I’ve seen the film twice before.) 💪

Purple is such a gorgeous color.

Hi. I am launching my first short story collection, APARTMENT WARS AND OTHER STORIES, on #Kickstarter. ✨✍️✨ It’s my first ever KS campaign, and it would make my day if you checked it out. 🙏 www.kickstarter.com/projects/ver... #Booksky #Books #ShortStories #IndieAuthor #ApartmentWars

Lovely to catch up with my friend Marie Vibbert. We chatted about her latest novel Multitude, the anthology Bad Romance: An Anthology of Trash Couples that she edited (live on Kickstarter!), and about learning Spanish. Oh, and an upcoming project of my own - stay tuned. ✍️✨📚 @reasie.bsky.social

I am learning #Spanish because I love travelling to Spanish-speaking countries and I want to read all the amazing fiction in Spanish. So like a dreamer that I am, I attended an online #writing workshop in Spanish. Literatura de Sombres with Ariadna Arias, organized by Rueda de Mujeres. Terrific!

Do you write speculative fiction? Imagine living inside a library for a week and a dozen writers carefully reading your work and giving you feedback… 🥰📖✍️ With at least 1 publication behind your belt, you can apply to #MilfordSF Writers’ Workshop. Two open spots left! www.milfordsf.co.uk/about.htm

If you don’t yet own a copy of Matthew Kressel’s short story collection HISTORIES WITHIN US, you can snatch it today. I just did. 👀 #Booksky #SpeculativeFiction #ShortStories @matthewkressel.net

Hi. Greetings from Edinburgh! I am reading Ana Sun’s short story collection Futures to Live By. Hopeful, beautifully imagined & written speculative fiction set in real places. I am really enjoying the worlds & characters she creates!

Enjoy the gorgeous & fascinating flora from the Botanic Garden in Edinburgh.

I really enjoyed the Asian Panorama session of the Scottish International Fantastic Arts Network (SI-FAN) genre film festival in Edinburgh’s Filmhouse. With a Q&A with the creators of “The Air We Breathe”! 🎥🎞️ www.si-fan.org www.theairwebreathefilm.com @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social

Short story collections I’m reading. #booksky Uncertain Sons and Other Stories - Thomas Ha House of Illusionists and Other Stories - Vanessa Fogg Futures to Live By - Ana Sun Six Dreams About the Train - Maria Haskins Boys, Beasts & Men - Sam J Miller Rabbit Test and Other Stories - Samantha Mills

Everything is better when you can share it with your person. The greatest adventure of all. 😘

More views from Tenerife. The north-eastern tip of the island is all lush green Anaga Forrest. Next time we plan to hike there!

Hiking in Roques de Garcia at the foot of El Teide on Tenerife. One of the most breathtaking places I have ever seen. 😎

Behold the magnificent views from El Teide, the highest mountain in Spain, I am told. And very cold too. We took the cable car to the base. The hike to the peak was closed due to ice!

Hiking in the Chinyero on Tenerife. The black volcanic rocks look like a different planet. #travel #hiking #writer #Tenerife

Tenerife has so many stunning landscapes! Here is Villa de los Silos and Playa Las Arenas on the northern shore. #travel #writer
