Esquire put my 31-year old (!!) AMMONITE on it's 75 Best Sci-Fi Books of All Time list: "Gripping and gutsy, rich in layers of feminist and queer thought, Ammonite gleefully throws a stick of dynamite into the sci-fi firmament." Almost the only one in Top 25 not on sale—BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING 🤩

Finished Philip Hinchcliffe Doctor, the fourth of the Morbius/ Forgotten Lives Doctors. In the Forgotten Lives anthology books, this Doctor was a deceptively foppish swashbuckler. @obversebooks.bsky.social @rubycosmos.bsky.social

I've spent a lot of time watching Shelley Duvall over the past week, and she was never less than electrifying, and a pleasure to watch, even in the smallest role. This piece went out on @guardianfilm today just hours before we heard the sad news. Hope I did her justice. RIP.

Several crowdfunders running at the moment for rad SFF magazines - I hope they get loads of support because they fully deserve it! 😊 But if you have anything left over I'd *really* appreciate a few more subscribers as we've lost a couple of people recently and our margin is very small 💸

I’m looking forward to this essay on Vonda McIntyre by Una McCormack, and to the other essays in this collection. I spot @vallescurarule.bsky.social and @davidmack.bsky.social on the ToC, and also the intriguingly titled ‘A Coda on Coda’ by Caroline-Isabelle Caron (the ST:Coda novels are awesome).

I have an essay that puts Vonda’s Star Trek novels into the context of her full body of work (including her last, unpublished novel) coming very soon in this collection of essays! mcfarlandbooks.com/product/stra...

‘This is especially true of one late-in-the-novel experience of Justin being lost in Seoul’s Gimpo Intl. Airport. This episode is among the most striking in the book, and also one of the most fantastical, as space, time, and logic seems to collapse around Priest’s protagonist.’ Val’s super review 👇
