@PHaynesWriter I think you'll find this one's on the side of good writers. :)

@AllenJStroud Oh you know me, I just rail against juggernaut celebrity books, even ones that don’t exist yet ;)

You know what this means right? The megahype celebrity novel she’s writing will be out sooner ugh Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding bbc.com/news/articles/…

@PHaynesWriter I know why. One of my friends was part of the dev team for Skype back in the 2010s.

Skype should have dominated during lockdown but somehow lost to Zoom.

@PHaynesWriter Not that I don't agree with you, by the way. Although, I think some of my reasoning is projection. I struggle with promoting myself at the best of times. I resolved to just do me. :)

@AllenJStroud Stay tuned for my twice-yearly moan about the clocks!

The grim season of vote begging by genre writers is upon us yet again. I find the whole dog and pony show distasteful.

When sci-fi meets the Ministry of Defence: "This is not about new weapons. It can be about things such as getting ready for something like resource shortages or planning where an aircraft carrier with humanitarian aid could be sent." - @AllenJStroud ✨flametr.com/3Wtnb92

“The science fiction community wants to be part of the conversation, and it has a role to play.” - @AllenJStroud Read how sci-fi authors are shaping future crisis planning in The Guardian ✨ flametr.com/3PHrb1Y

Nice to see this write up of my work and the work of other #sciencefiction writer @guardian website today: theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

@runalongwomble @Vanamonde_Dpan Yes, the Womble does like a few. ;)

Secrets, survival, and the fate of the galaxy—#Vigilance is ready for you. @allenjstroud flametr.com/3MJgv1i

Some seek to save the future, others to destroy it. What side will you take? #Vigilance @allenjstroud flametr.com/3ZrZtfP

As chaos reigns, who will shape the future of colonised worlds? #Vigilance @allenjstroud flametr.com/3TpPJ1E

@PHaynesWriter The AI element kind of superfluous for the clickbait. The publishing model is predatory. There are others in the market who are doing the same. If you ever need me to point them out, let me know.

Writing isn’t a problem that needs solving by man bun sporting techbrahs jfc

Those Spines bastards, then. There is no issue that their solution solves, there is no value outside of their growth potential (meaningless for actual writers), and there are no 'disruptors' without assholes. Fuck AI.

Another fab evening for genre fans talking all things #sciencefiction 📚🎮and the #writinginspiration behind the Fractal series from @flametreepress Thanks to everyone who came along, and @CHUGGCOFFEE last night. Thank you so much @AllenJStroud --- We're back next month! ---

#Vigilance is available to buy now online and from all good bookstores! @allenjstroud flametr.com/47mJVM6

I'm Guest of Honour @Novacon_UK this weekend It's a utter privilege. The list of previous GoHs is incredible & it doesn't seem real its me. I'll be reading from Vigilance, interviewed by @queenofgrimdark, composing #music & generally trying not to be a nuisance! @flametreepress

Did my three favourite reads for 2024 on Shepherd. Who would have put @JRRTolkien @Lego_Group and @mrjamesob in the same bracket? shepherd.com/bboy/2024/f/al… #amreading #amwriting #sciencefiction #fantasy #politics #lego

Can Captain Shann's crew uncover the truth before sinister forces tear humanity apart? #Vigilance @allenjstroud  flametr.com/3XGxXtJ

@gautambhatia88 Thanks! I have aged a little, and will be appearing in colour. ;)

@AllenJStroud This looks amazing!

Doing a thing in late November. Really looking forward to it.
