Bitter on the Tongue

Welcome!

I have set titles and a rough outline for the next two Alumière adventures, ready for NaNoWriMo.
NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, and the goal is usually to write 50,000 words of a novel during November.
Never afraid to do things wrong on purpose, however, I am going to write two 25,000 word drafts instead.
(Anyone can take part. If you’ve ever thought about writing a book, perhaps now is the right time? Find out more here.)

Flash Fiction: Bitter on the Tongue

I’m keeping this week’s offline for now, in case I’d like to do something else with it.

Sorry!

If you want to read everything, you can subscribe to my newsletter here.

In Case You Missed It This Week:

Read!
I just finished How To Teach Quantum Physics To Your Dog. This means that, at least for quantum physics, I am now as smart as a dog! I whole-heartedly recommend it, here’s my Goodreads review.

Read!
I’ve just started The Hysteria of Bodalís. It’s about a guy beating a computer game, but everyone believes he defeated the aliens for real. As they were hoping to be saved by the aliens, they’re not happy…
Wait for my review, or grab it FREE now by signing up to Marcos Antonio Hernandez’s newsletter.

Read!
While researching book titles I came across this lesser-known classic by Robert Louis Stevenson. Read short story “Markheim” FREE here.
(Hammer Film Productions called it The Mirror and Markheim when they turned it into a featurette.)

Watch!
Or should that be “watch out”? for the “profound hopelessness” of “ultraviolent” Unicorn Wars, which pits cuddly teddy bears against unicorns in a fight to the bitter end. Coming 2023, and, I have to say, I’m looking forward to this!
If there are no children in the room, then check out the trailer here!

Listen!
Leeds noisemongers Blacklisters are back! Get their latest release
“Leisure Centre” from Bandcamp here.

Enjoy!
