This is one of my favourite all time sci-fi shows. I hope it gets the same treatment as they gave Battlestar Galactica. Are you as excited as I am??

I’m trying to make them shorter. Not an easy task!

I think I’ve had 20 emails in the last month telling me a book of mine has been selected to be featured in someone’s book club, from places as far flung as Hong Kong and Dublin. They all follow the same format: a gushing summary of the plot (AI generated for sure)and why it’s the most important book since Lord Of the Rings. They then ask me if I am interested in having my book featured. I don’t respond to them, but I assume that if I did the next step will be a fee. They upped their game this morning, telling me I was going to be featured at the London Book Fair. For the bargain price of €1700. TBH, I almost fell for the first book club one until I got 4 others in quick succession. It saddens me that there are people out there trading on the insecurities of authors trying to figure out how to increase their sales. Have any of you guys seen these emails? Have you responded? How much do they want?

While I’ve been procrastinating about finishing Covenant, I have been having fun making fake text messages between my daughter and one of her dogs, Ben. It’s a surprisingly complex form of story telling that I have taken some time to get my head around. The texts need to be short, have a hook, a narrative and a punchline to make them funny I’d love to share these with you, for a discussion about the sorry medium, a look at the structure, the process and for a laugh 😁
