Tej Turner

For those who missed it yesterday, the fourth instalment of my Avatars of Ruin series is now out in the world! More info on places they can be found on my website: tejturner.com/epic

“Now, Tej. I understand you have a high body count” was a sentence that was spoken today, but I just want to specify that this was in reference to a panel about killing off of characters in my books. FYI.

Here is my schedule for BristolCon this weekend. Looking forward to another book launch with @wtpress.bsky.social and also some interesting panels. I have a feeling one of them might involve me giving away clues over which characters may not make it to the end of my epic fantasy series 🤔 🤫

Latest batch of sourdough. I make mine with rye, spelt, wholemeal flour, and seeds so they are not as fluffy but very tasty and a little healthier.

I found out you can hibernate chilli plants over the winter by cutting them back and repotting them so going to give it a go for some of my favourites 🌶️ 🌱

Following the success of her debut novel, Tomorrow Was Beautiful Once, Norwich author, Amy Orrell unveils her latest page-turning, climate-fantasy novel, These Fated Gifts, published Friday 16th October. https://bit.ly/TheseFatedGifts 1/2

The chillies are done for this year and my windows do look a little bare, but on the plus side… I can actually close my curtains again… 🤔 🤷🏻‍♂️

Me with THE AWARD-WINNING @annabelcwrites.bsky.social (Best Newcomer at the 2026 British Fantasy Awards!), Underused Biomes with @robincmduncan.bsky.social, @emmaladams12.bsky.social and @tejturner.com; Beyond Bread & Hard Cheese with Fiona Moore, @katiebruce.bsky.social and @idakeogh.bsky.social

Next up at #fantasycon, we went to a panel on underused biomes.

Always nice to hold a new book for the first time 🙂 Bryn Yr Heliwr – my story in this anthology – is based around the folkloric figure of Mallt-y-Nos who roams with the hounds of Arawn during the Wild Hunt. It is now available through @wtpress.bksy.com wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/anth...

4:30am train to Glasgow… I made it! 😅🥱

Book Quote Wednesday's word is 'push', & Lena Sturm is ready to push back. #BookQW #BookSky The Executioner's Blade gets its grand launch at FantasyCon this Saturday at 9am as part of the @wtpress.bsky.social book launch - come help us celebrate! www.wizardstowerbooks.com/shop/the-exe...

My schedule for #FantasyCon, where I will be attending the launch for They Are Still Here (which features a short story by me), taking part in a sensible panel, a not so sensible panel, and doing an author reading 🙂

- Dungeons & Disorderly (6pm Saturday, Flame Tree Room): join me, @alasdairstuart.com, @ianthegreen.bsky.social, @megbontra.bsky.social, @tejturner.com and @mikebrooks668.bsky.social as we stumble incompetently through some sort of space opera armed only with a giant paper D20 and a gin and tonic...

Decided to make some spring rolls 🙂

They were a little late to the party but I am finally getting some late season tomatoes. I guess getting a few from each plant is better than nothing 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

On an absolute roll with the writing at the moment. Squeezing sessions in before and after shifts at the dayjob, and averaging 2-3K words a day. Haven’t had such a good flow for some years 🥳✍️📕

I was just writing at my desk and suddenly felt cold enough to put my dressing gown on 🥳 Autumn is finally here. Let’s hope it’s an especially cold and gloomy one. We deserve it 🍂

This anthology is now available for preorder and it features a short story by me (as well as many other fine authors) 🙂

A hike up Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons this afternoon ⛰️

First review in for Blood Ruin 🧐 👀 (it is a good one! 🥳)

Updated photo of everything I have been published in so far. Six novels and four short stories across three different publishers. There will be a new one joining the ensemble in the next month or so, too 🙂 👀 📕

Homemade sourdough pizza night 🍕

A reunion with my ever majestic former roommate, Mavis 🐈

Courgette, Lime & Matcha Cake I made at work today

May have just gone a little overboard with a beard trim… 🤔

This may have happened after three glasses of wine when I went to the beach with my ex yesterday 🍷 May try again sober sometime.

Why is it that whenever the meteorologists predict a heatwave it comes without fail but when it’s a good ol’ storm they see on the horizon it never actually fucking happens.

Keepers Pond hike today.

Back in print at last, Joanne Hall's The Summer Goddess was a finalist for Best Novel in the British Fantasy Awards: wizardstowerpress.co...

For the first time in my life someone has bought me flowers. It was my boyfriend’s ex wife. Yes really. I don’t have a vase so I put them in a spaghetti jar.

Today I am looking after Theo. By the end of it we are going to be besties 🐕

Next stage of this book successfully plotted! 🤓✍️ #amwri̇ti̇ng

My [can’t remember how many at this point] visit to #Stonehenge today.

Annual visit to Avebury.

West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury Hill in Wiltshire.

Wayland’s Smithy #longbarrow and #cairn #neolithic #megalithic

Got some big battles to plan for the last instalment of my epic fantasy series 🤓🗡️🩸🌪️
