Tonight at 7pm I’m in conversation with spooky gore emperox Cassandra Khaw. We’ll be discussing their latest novel, The All-Consuming World.

Singing along to “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” while thinking about next Nyx story and patching up a pair of gardening shorts. Thinking about how the way back to mental health after this last year in particular and four years generally is a slow one but progressing. I have a lot of respect for

I’ve been publishing novels for ten years, this month, and my first series is still, miraculously, in print. That’s a pretty cool achievement. Both being in print and still being here, still under contract, still writing (albeit slowly, these days). Enduring the highs and lows of publishing and coming out the other side isn’t for
