I'm officially a finalist for the @BSFA award for short fiction! I have no idea how I managed to get this far in a very stacked category, but thank you for whoever voted for me! And thank you again to @hexagonmagazine. Now I need to celebrate with a large drink. Or five.

#questpit #SF #A #T #W #MY DEATH ON THE NILE x TITANIC + cyberpunk aesthetics + the spirit of Lincoln Child & Crichton novels. The whole world watches the AI cruise ship Thalassic's maiden voyage from Neo Mumbai to the Maldives. Nothing can derail her itinerary. Not even murder.
I have a new story out today with @ManawakerStudio! A fun little flash inspired by automation in the cleaning industry and will people turn to human cleaners as the posh option.

The assistant editor is not being quite as helpful as he thinks he is by blocking me getting to the keyboard. But he's doing his best!
This week in Danforth's shower thoughts that he turns into flash fiction, your mean grandma goes to sell her memories!

Ah Worldcon. I had my first book launch for the laughs in space anthology. Did two panels with great turnouts. Met plenty of awesome people and just had an incredible time with great friends I never get to see. It was that good I'm already plotting my next con!
We had a full house my discworld panel moderated by the wonderful @pootsidoodle at @Glasgowin2024 I am genuinely living the dream!

My time at @Glasgowin2024 just got even better. I'm now spending Thursday night debating what the best Sci fi show of the 90's is. Honestly this weekend is becoming the thing of dreams!

My schedule for @Glasgowin2024! I'm lucky enough that an anthology I'm in has a book launch, and I get to speak about discworld for an hour. It's going to be a great weekend and I hope to see lots of you there :)

A rewatch of Deep Space 9 inspired this flash fiction making writing it possibly the nerdiest thing I've ever done :)
Today, fan favorite Rick Danforth returns with a little tale of love and casinos: “Take a Chance on Me.” stupefyingstories.blogspot.com/2024/07/take-c…
I can finally announce this, I'm going to be a comedy sci-fi anthology that will launch at worldcon in Glasgow! It's full of great authors and I'm very excited for it. theslab.press/2024/07/12/toc…
On the none writing side, I managed to get silver at the English open in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the 100kg advanced division. Not bad for a middle aged science fiction author!
It's hard to get the next story done when the dog insists on having his paw held 🙄 But how can you say no?
Pictured, the two reasons I now write less than I'd like. (It's a fair trade.)
I didn't win the BSFA award, it went to a very deserving Emily. But I had an awesome time at @Eastercon2024! Met lots of great people, saw interesting panels and faced my public speaking phobia by going on some myself. One with @MVMelcer and @burtkenobi Can't wait for next year
I'll be at @Eastercon2024 this week, there are the panels where you can find me. If I'm not here I'll probably be at the bar and do say hello if you see me :)
