I know this may be salt in the wound, but... #masseffect

So here you go ... Thank you again to my friends at both BioWare and EA. To even dream in your sandbox was a privilege. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBO8...

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

Hey friends, Spent the weekend out of town with family, but I'm back and it's time to do some art! Also it's an impromptu co-stream with the incredible @jaws-stone.bsky.social. See you in about 10 minutes on twitch! twitch.tv/carsondrewit

Today is the start of crazy things at @bristolcon.bsky.social . Hope to see people there! #bristolcon #writingcommunity #BookSky

This book, and all the others in the series, owe a huge debt to BioWare's Mass Effect series. I feel so hollow right now. A sense that I've lost a relative I hadn't seen in years, but have good memories of. #scifi #gaming #spaceopera #BookSky💙📚

So...BioWare is down. I was hoping my prediction wouldn't pan out. But maybe you'd enjoy a retrospective on one of their iconic series. #bioware #videogames #retrospective #writerslife #scifi #spaceopera www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrtz...

New Review - an exquisite supernatural (or perhaps not) mystery to solve awaits in the excellent The Haunting of Avis Lovelock by MK Hardy out now! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/10...

No new post this week, nor next, because of what's happening in the post below. Under a week to go. AH! #writerslife #amwriting #booklovers #update #BookSky💙📚 thomaswrightson.co.uk/2026/10/11/i...

Alert! If you get an email from a place calling itself "The Prestige Voice", my advice is...bin it. It seems vaguely legit, but some quick research shows it's dodgy at best, a scam at worst. (1/2) #writerslife #warning #writingcommunity #BookSky💙📚

EXCITING NEWS! 📢📢📢 We've done some behind-scenes calculating and are thrilled to announce that if our Apex Magazine Kickstarter funds, we'll be able to pay for TWO October flash stories for publication! 🎉 You can help us make it happen by submitting your flash and backing the Apex Kickstarter below!

Book Quote Wednesday BQW A noble wife writes "A century past, they say a servant girl hanged herself, perhaps from the shame that now falls close to me. How harshly men treat women, and how fierce is my husband’s anger. I must confess for the first time how truly frightened I am." #books #murder

Kaleidotrope reopens to fiction and poetry submissions for a week (October 18-24) in just two more days!

Just checked: Website was registered 22 days ago! Previous episodes advertised link to… completely different videos. Suffice to say, other indie authors watch out for The Prestige Voice (.org). Seems to be a scam.

Book Quote Wednesday's word is 'voice' #BookQW #BookSky Dan Mackmain usually thinks before he speaks, and even then he's a man of few words. Some people think he has nothing to say. That's a mistake. For a wide range of UK and international purchase options - wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/book...

Heya #PortfolioDay! I'm Hampus, I'm a concept artist and fantasy illustrator Right now I'm working on my own illustrated book named Nobolos! And I'm showing some new art and pages from it today! I have a newsletter if you want to get more news of it hampusviklander.com/newsletter/

A) cool, B) really not sure about calling Breuddwyd Macsen Wledig "folklore"...

An update for everyone. Here's hoping the event matches the anticipation. #amwriting #writerslife #update #bristolcon #BookSky💙📚 thomaswrightson.co.uk/2026/10/11/i...

Congratulations to the British Fantasy Society Awards winners, all most richly deserved. And check out those shortlists, showcasing the depth, breadth and range of current speculative fiction in the UK 😁

Werwtober2026 Day 10 - Auroch 🐮

Just to be clear, while I'm hoping for a certain sane outcome, I'll be muting all tags related to a certain election because I value my mental health. #writerslife

On the blog this week and also on sale at Fantasycon is the next great instalment on fantastic series - The Green Man’s Debt by Juliet E McKenna www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/10...

Re the Wired article revealing the extensive use of GenAI at three media corporations. A lot of publishing executives are about to learn about the Trust Thermocline the hard way.

My shelter dog is missing a back toenail so things are progressing as expected with a rescue. Made a vet appointment. Please consider a purchase from my etsy shop if you would like to help fix her up. Surly.etsy.com
