Hi. Is this thing on?

My first Mastodon post. Great to be here. A few introductions.

I'm a UK-based writer of fantasy and science fiction (and things between and beyond; I don't like categories much).

I've over 400 publications - short stories, poems, flash fiction, novels. I'm signed to Elsewhen Press for my Office of the Witchfinder General books. Been published in Nature, Analog, Abyss & Apex - ooh, lots of places.

Enough about me. Let's social.

@rexxdeane Excellent. What are you writing these days?

@simonkewin A cosy #SolarPunk / #EcoThriller mystery that works well as a distant prequel for Synthesis:Weave - it's set in the same universe, but is effectively a standalone. That way, I'll be able to attempt selling it to a publisher without it seeming like part of a series.

I haven't spent a lot of time on it though, as I'm also trying to get into game development: working on a card game that ties in with the SW books.

@rexxdeane Ooh sounds good. What style of game out of interest?

@simonkewin Vaguely exploration based - inspired by the events/locations in Telamon. It's going to have a countdown/mission timer, but not rely on dice etc. to supplement it as I want to be able to self-publish it (which means only printing cards and box).
