Late last year, I asked this space: “If you could only recommend one book, what would it be?” No specific genres or themes. No justifications needed. Just a title and author. Mastodon delivered. My return to reading books has been a joyful experience. Many months later, I'm back, looking for more suggestions. Boosts appreciated. [1/2]

It's been a strange few weeks (or months).

A very crappy project has ended, and I feel like it's both a win and a loss at the same time.

Slightly delayed on this week's newsletter, sorry about that! But it's a good one. You can now send, receive, and navigate @mentions in Ghost
Okay, I give this week -5 stars.
Winner of my heart is Baby lasagna and Käärijä though. #eurovision
I'll go with Sweden, Luxembourg, and Spain this year. #esc2025 #eurovision

#WritersCoffeeClub May17. How do you ‘write what you know’?

If this is based on the idea that you should only write what you know, then I don't and I think that advice is deeply problematic. Write what you want, make it up as you go. As long as you like it, it's worth it.

My new contemporary fantasy novel—based loosely on Thomas the Rhymer—launches on Kickstarter next week!

I’d appreciate it if people would click and follow the campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thorncoyle/the-winding-road-fantasy
