What a wonderful day! We're of course referring to the release of our own David Craig's latest novel, Lucifer & Son (Elsewhen Press), in ebook format.

Wait... did something else happen?

Following our #Gallus news, here's a nod from Cast Long Shadows author CL Hellisen, who also describes Gallus as full of stories that "thrum with myth and magic, with the intertwined rhythms of history and futurism..." Thanks Cat!

So I'm actually in this. First short story ever in print. Don't let that put you off from getting a copy though. It's also full of fantastic stories from genuinely excellent writers.

Reading an arc of Gallus, the new anthology from @gsfwc.bsky.social, and loved the tenderness and finding a place you can call yours in @cjhenderson.bsky.social's story of Greek myth in Scotland.

Also I've had a sneaky peak at the cover and it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

A novella! Now out by debut trans author @theelaineg.bsky.social
Unexploded Remnants, from Tor in all the places.
"Action, adventure, a trans main character, and inspirations from Stargate to Indiana Jones"

Sounds rather relevant to my interests.

"Come back. It is just as important to come back, even if you don’t end up where you started. (You shouldn’t end up where you started.) (This too is a journey.)"

LOVED this Noise and Sparks column by @ruthejbooth.bsky.social in @shoreinf.bsky.social #37.

Return to the woods and to the stories.
