Got talking with @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social about the eternal quest for sustainable pay rates.

Today, June 25, is publication day for Ghost of the Neon God. Incredibly proud of this novella, which I wrote haltingly over five years. I pitched it as 'Mad Max meets Johnny Mnemonic' (& it's set in the same universe as 36 Streets). Time for a whisky. @titanbooks.bsky.social @quellist1.bsky.social
