My first novel for Black Library is coming in 2024! It's about the Emperor's Children, and like a true son of the Third, I'm very proud of it. Hope you like it!

@ultrabrilliant And here I am on the way to London, the Heart of Yorkshire.

I’m in Leeds, the Big Apple.

Absolutely buzzing to hear the work Richard’s done with Lord of Excess. What a treat to have such a pro bring the story to life!

Lord of Excess is available for pre-order! Hardback, ebook, or audiobook, to pump the glorious noise directly into your head. blacklibrary.com/all-products/e…

Now to find my Jez.

@ultrabrilliant “A simple lampoon.” “No thanks, I’m… full.” “Pizza, lightly brushed in your piss.” And “The lever!” when Mark snaps the bulldog clip over his lip.

Peep Show line deliveries that will live in my head forever - 'JLB Credit, fuck off please' - 'Over gold leader' - 'Fronkfoort' - 'Rewenge' - 'Oooookay, I think it's time for you boys to fuck off now' - 'Think what it's doing to the mechanism' - 'I am James Bond'

And if you wanted to read about a different debauched maniac, my short story Visage is in Black Library's Advent Calendar this month. It's about Erebus, and how he deals with having his face sliced off. Spoiler: not well. blacklibrary.com/all-products/e…

If you wanted to get a headstart on the story, Xantine is introduced in A More Perfect Union. Grab it now to see what kind of guy he is! blacklibrary.com/warhammer-4000…

with modern drone technology they should invent some kind of contraption that can swoop in and flatten this fancy paperweight into an easily-crossable pancake

@GoneEFK Yeah! I moved into production, which has lots of similarities to my past life: working to deadlines, scheduling complex projects, presenting information in interesting ways, talking to people sympathetically to get info, and knowing games inside out.

Is there anyone here who started in games journalism and then moved into game development? If so, where are you now, and how did you do it?

@disappointment @RegularFeatures Better let Zim know they’ve escaped. Even worse, someone told them about burgers.

@LiamBME Huge congrats to you and the crew, man. Absolutely lovely seeing the response to your hard work.

Thank you so much to everyone who has made the past few hours, just incredible. Myself & the team are just overwhelmed beyond belief. If you’re picking up cursed to golf today or have already. Please if you could leave us a steam review, incredible! It makes a difference!

@MikeChannell @arcadeclubuk Ooh, fancy a drink at some point?

@richmcc @arcadeclubuk Yep for a little bit!

Had the pleasure of visiting @arcadeclubuk in Leeds this week. Absolutely blown away by the selection of games and the condition of the cabinets. If you're oop North you owe it to yourself to pay it a visit.

@Byronchenko Heartbreaker losing Big Kasper but Fofana going would really wreck stuff.

Am I just missing it or does nobody seem concerned with what's happening, or not happening, at Leicester? Zero summer business, an okay but flat 21/22 season. Schmeichel going, Fofana, Maddison, (and/or) Barnes potentially off too. Seems like sleepwalking in to a rough season.

@disappointment @cymrogav @RegularFeatures Miss you TOO, babeses!

@timothydclark 4 x 500ml bottles at work, probably 2l then at home. On the same day. (It’s Coke Zero but I’ll go to my grave arguing it maps to DC.)

Real talk: what's an acceptable number of diet cokes to drink in a day? (Bonus question: How many do you have?)

My next Black Library short is out today, as part of my favourite national holiday, Chaos Space Marine week. It's about the Emperor's Children, and I hope you enjoy it: blacklibrary.com/all-products/e…

@backlon It was a real treat to get to work with you! Best of luck with the next thing!
