I'm definitely reading into this, but I'm back from a weekend away and my boy is sleeping with his paw on me. It means more to him than me.

My leg with my poodle's paw touching it. I may have overreacted.

Quick round up of my time at the fantastic Fantasycon Glasgow. Amazing time as always, and wonderful as always to see so many old and new friends www.patreon.com/posts/172053...

The author giggling and giving the middle finger to the camera.

Okay #fantasycon, I am in the bar until 11am. I have 4x copies left of The Sport of Wings, selling for a fiver.
If you want a steamy fantasy romance about the high stakes, adrenaline fueled world of competitive dragon racing, come and find me!

Promo image for "Narrative Damage Live: FantasyCon 2026" featuring a Dungeons & Dragons game titled "EVERYBODY DIES ON A SQUID" on Friday, 9 October at 9 PM. The background resembles aged parchment, with an image of a black-and-white silhouette of a sailing ship being attacked by giant tentacles, with a dragon silhouette flying overhead. Four circular portraits of participants are placed around the ship: Anna Stephens (top left), Rafael Torrubia (top right), Stewart Hotston (bottom left), and Dave Wragg (bottom right). At the top is the Narrative Damage Live logo, and near the bottom is the Dungeons & Dragons logo.

It would appear I ran out of ideas for chapter titles the last time I was working on this manuscript (the sequel to AN HONESTY OF THIEVES, April 2027, @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social for those who are interested). Professional writer? Not in this house.

A screenshot of the chapter heading for a work in progress, with titles such as blah, bloop, blip because I ran out of inspiration.

EVERY UK MP needs to read this You are all part of a government that is creating a situation so hostile and unsafe that people are leaving the country This is not an isolated case. You have the power to do something about this.

Join our band of scoundrels in Doskvol as they start their adventure... Will they rise up from the murk or sink into the Void Sea?

Part 1 of our Blades in the Dark actual play, CITY OF WHISPERS, is out now!

Watch: youtu.be/VHccRDLlN08
Listen: linktr.ee/narrativedam...

Promotional image for a 'Blades in the Dark' actual play titled 'CITY OF WHISPERS, Part I: Welcome to Doskvol' set against a faded, reddish city map background. In the top right corner is the 'Narrative Damage' logo. Across the lower half, four black-and-white portraits of the cast members, stylised to look like torn parchment, are pinned to the map with throwing daggers. A large, ornate dagger lies horizontally along the bottom edge.
