Cameron Johnston

I am having a brilliant time with non-fiction projects at the moment (blame @hagenilda.bsky.social)0 and would love to work with more brilliant experts on their special interests. So, if you’re an academic and have an idea for a trade book I’d love to chat! ✨

Making my way through the @gsfwc.bsky.social's Haverin anthology on this sunny post-storm Sunday. I've just finished @cameronjohnston.bsky.social's The Cats on Sanquhar Street, which made me cry 🐈🐈‍⬛🌙 what a gorgeous story of love and loss and claws 🩷

We're working on more suppliers -- but for now, Haverin is still available as ebook and paperback at Amazon. www.amazon.co.uk/Haverin-year...

Whether you've picked up #Haverin online or in-person at our launches, we appreciate each and every one of you for supporting Glasgow's grassroots SF, Fantasy and Horror scene. If you've enjoyed Haverin, do drop us a review on your platform of choice.

On behalf of the editors, authors and artist of Haverin, thank you to everyone who came to celebrate #GSFWC40 #Haverin with us last night! We're immensely grateful to you (and Waterstones Sauchiehall ST!) for helping us give our wee book the send off it deserved.

Here we go! Happy indie pub day to meeeee! The Sport of Wings is out everywhere in eBook and only on the Zon so far in paperback (further retailers to follow). If you want high stakes dragon-racing and high-stakes romance, this is the book for you. books2read.com/thesportofwi... bit.ly/4zEtKH5

Happy book day to my good buddy @annasmithwrites.bsky.social and the release of Sport of Wings. Grab you a copy

Wishing Alan Garner a very, very happy 92nd birthday.

Guardbridge will be publishing an anthology next spring, "Things That Eat Good Intentions". Many of the writers, editors, and artists involved were at Fanatsycon in Glasgow this weekend. Many of us met up on Saturday night for a toast to the new project.

We're delighted for alumnae Annabel Campbell and Amal El-Mohtar, and friend of the Circle CL Hellisen who were also honoured, and for E.M. Faulds and Neil Williamson who made the final shortlist. @annabelcwrites.bsky.social @amalelmohtar.com @clhellisen.com @emfaulds.com @neilwilliamson.bsky.social

I've just heard that The Last Shield and First Mage on The Moon have earned out their advances! Thank you to everyone who bought and read my books 😀

Disciple of Sin is out today! For ten years, Jacob trained to become the perfect weapon. Now the woman who trained him could be his undoing. Dark fantasy with a villainous mentor, a cursed land where the dead are waking, and betrayal that cuts to the bone.🧵

Just been to see the Scotland's First Warriors exhibit at the National Museum in Edinburgh. Some great Bronze Age items on display there.

Today we are excited to reveal the cover for @davidgreenwriter.bsky.social's new novel! @kitvaria.bsky.social introduces us to A Healer’s Guide to Adventuring, coming soon from @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social! - JI 🐉 Cover art by Jenny Zemanek. fantasy-faction.com/2026/a-heale... #booksky 💙📚🪐

Well this should be fascinating!

I've been busy of late. A novel edited up and ready to go, a screenplay finished off, a short story acceptance, several other works in progress at varying states, an application for a screenwriting development programme sent off... No rest for the wicked!

I love it when you finish a draft of a novel manuscript. Even more so when that's it ready to go out into the wild blue yonder...

I'm not sure why I enjoyed The VelociPastor so much. Guess I just like a bad B-movie that plays it up. It knew exactly what it was, and that works for me.

Cover Reveal! As a Friday Treat how about some news on a great new novella series that features deep space adventure, mecha suits and they’re used by cats? It my pleasure to share the cover for Beasts of the Wild Black by RJ Barker coming soon! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/8/...

Today's mysterious portal seems to lead to Faerie.

Review: First Mage on the Moon, by Cameron Johnston Description

🪐📚 Listen I enjoy a fucking bastard being forced to save the world as a revenge side quest and that's exactly what this is with some side notes on the fall of empire, historical revisionism, and the conservative nature of established institutions. And secrets of fallen empires. 1/

Good morning! I am reading and very much enjoying The Last Shield by Cameron Johnston. Gender-flipped Die Hard in a Bronze Age (I think) castle. Really fun book that shows far more research and craft that you might initially expect.
