Lo, a Substack

As if there aren't enough bits of junk in your inbox already

Feb 25, 2023

So, as all the cool kids are doing it, I thought I’d try a SubStack. If you’re receiving this in your inbox it’s because you, like a mad impetuous fool, signed up for my previous so-called newsletter. If you’re seeing it elsewhere, then subscribe here:

This will be a place for stuff I want to write which hopefully you might find worth a read — including thoughts about writing itself, and the world, and all the weird and fascinating things in it. Sharing some art too, and music, and maybe even a recipe from time to time. A bit like sitting next to me in a pub, but without the inevitable hangover and/or short stay in a correctional facility.

There will be one substantial piece a week, with brief notes and “hey, this is cool” bits in between. Should there be news about new books or other projects, they’ll be here too. Variety will be my watchword: posts will not be just the same old crap time after time, because that gets old fast. Having written mainstream, horror, thriller, science fiction and crime, in the forms of prose, screenplay and non-fiction, and now working as a TV and film development producer, sticking to a lane is clearly not my jam.

I will not be carpet-bombing your inbox, and I’ll try to be at least the second or fourth most interesting thing you read all day.

The first real post will come out tomorrow.

I hope you’ll stick around.
