BookMatch is LIVE! This mad idea I had years ago to create a one-stop matchmaking service for authors and reviewers of self-published #ScienceFiction, #Fantasy & #Horror is real! It's been over a year in the making, and we already have 150 reviewers signed up to the BookMatch community!

This is a brilliant novel - as is its sequel, Founding Flames. Dystopian fantasy at its most original and so beautifully told.

If you’re not already watching Dark Matter, it is worth it just to get to S2E5, Love and Be Loved, one of the most beautiful hours of television I’ve ever seen. Breathtaking. I swear to God, I actually did let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding at the end.

Robert Jenrick tells Times Radio Nigel Farage wasn't part of the donations scandal as he just had lunch. He said: "You can't criticise a leader for saying thank you over lunch to someone. I know a lot of slings and arrows are thrown at Nigel Farage, but being polite is not a crime these days"

A little update: I’m still writing - slowly, but surely - The Bastard Throne. Health is still a problem. I was recently rediagnosed with fibromyalgia instead of the other autoimmune disease that was suspected (which I might also have but it’s not showing up on tests yet).

And just for fun recently, I tore ligaments in my ankle ten days ago - it’s still swollen, bruised and painful - and then needed a wisdom tooth out yesterday, which is the first time I’ve had one out and damn the pain is real. Plus my chronic shoulder pain has flared up at the same time obvs. SIGH.

Please bear with me, service will be resumed when my body stops trying to kill me for long enough! :) My alpha readers, who read each chapter as I write it, assure me the book is good, so that’s something… J

Physio ruled out physical problems causing my chronic neck/shoulder pain and migraines, and now I’ve been referred to neurology to investigate that instead. And I’ve discovered my 2.5 years on the waiting list for an ADHD assessment could stretch to as long as 8 unless we go private.

The Devouring looks like a grim pick for fans of body horror. Indie titles usually offer much weirder atmosphere than the mainstream stuff.
