Finally got a hard copy of my new book. Feels utterly surreal that 1. Publisher took my pitch for an ecoterrorist heist thriller 2. Publisher were happy with the pig-brain transplant mole-ifying body horror and experimental prose approach 3. Publisher made it THIS PRETTY It's a dream

‘Absolute dirty-nailed cutting-edge biopunk. A world you can taste like a film of grime on the tongue. Phenomenally imaginative.’ Adrian Tchaikovsky @aptshadow.bsky.social You heard the dude. Preorder now! 🐍🧬 geni.us/extremophile My fear of launching this book is gone. He has killed it ❤️

My novel THE GAUNTLET AND THE BROKEN CHAIN, the final book of The Rotstorm trilogy, is eligible for the Fantasy novel award- I love it, I think it is the strongest of the trilogy. A long shot for book 3 in a series to make noise, but if you rated it consider a vote! ⚔️🛸⚡

For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of the Dyson Sphere, here is a free-to-read article I wrote for The Engineer on the subject www.theengineer.co.uk/content/opin...

Sci Fi Eye: Thinking big - Dyson spheres and ringworlds - The Engineerwww.theengineer.co.uk From Dyson spheres to ringworlds: science fiction author Gareth L. Powell takes a look at some of the largest engineering projects literature has to offer

the first reviews of my new book EXTREMOPHILE are in! Oh. DNF, 1 star- "I’ve done you a favour and counted the amount of times the word “fuck” is used. 368. It’s 368 times. In a 315 page book… Utterly unreadable." Fuck me I guess

Targeted ads for..tactical baby gear? By dads for dads. They have really missed the target here. Give me flowers and dinosaurs and rockets and rabbits, trains and diggers and mice and carrots. And why on earth would I want the thing holding my baby to be HARD TO SEE

Look at this BEAUTY! Is that ..a QR code linking to a playlist for this eco-punk biohack splatter fest? If only someone would share the link 😘 Listen, get hype open.spotify.com/playlist/3m3...

Did a half Marathon and my fastest kms were when I had LOTR soundtrack on- specifically The Lighting Of the Beacons from Return of the King 10/10, absolute club banger. Get it on and crank it up

'When you begin a project you don’t want to see your whole purpose in one clear glance. You need shadows in the landscape, to keep you alert and expectant.'- Hilary Mantel Which is maybe better than saying just do it all based on vibes, which is my approach, but it is the same really

Cover is live for EXTREMOPHILE. Design by Simon Michele and art by the wonderful María Jesús Contreras In climate collapse London, punk biohackers are hired by eco-terrorists to rob, murder, and save the world... Preorder here- geni.us/extremophile Authors/bloggers- drop me a line for proofs!
