Out Now: Welcome to Neverbury

Somewhere on the coast of England, Neverbury is a quaint seaside town with the kind of problems that a lot of quaint English seaside towns have these days... demons, serial killers, immortals, thieves, time travellers, ghosts, vampires, idle gods, haunted houses, witches, an extraordinarily strident village council, and monsters.

Praise for "Welcome to Neverbury"

"A deliciously dark set of stories - like a chocolate box, each chocolate filled with a mix of humour, blood and strange happenings. Written with flair, confidence and a keen eye for detail. If you like Inside No:9, you'll love this!"

"Loved this from start to finish, I listened to the Audiobook which was brilliantly read by Terry Cooper and then had to buy the hard copy straight away. Very Inside number 9 esq with moments of Neil Gaiman. Loved it."

"Absolutely loved this book. The author slowly paints a picture of the quaint little town that has many secrets! Each independent story weaves a web of mystery and strange goings on in Neverbury ensuring you are hooked from the start!"

Last of these. Honest. If you're a fan in the area and you didn't go to the Adventures in Time and Space exhibit at the Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery, then you have until November 2nd to get down there or invent time travel for yourself.

My favourite sculpture at Burghley House. It's entirely possible to walk underneath this without noticing it and there is something distinctly eerie about it just hanging there. You might want to give it a missing if you suffer though!

Hubble bubble...

A man walks into a forest and says "Why the massive face?"

Ah, I'd love to be better than this, but I'm not. Look! It's me! And a book I wrote! In a shop! (And I didn't have to bribe them or sneak it in myself)

I'll admit it - I've got a thing about Quarks. There's something about a "killing machine in a box" that really appeals to me; it's functional, brutalist, and that weird squeaky voice is deeply creepy. I've only written one Quark story, "The Arcade of Doom", but maybe I'll get to write another some day..

Well, a boy can dream! In the meantime, I had a lovely time at the Adventures in Time and Space exhibition in Peterborough Museum talking about Doctor Who, Lucy Wilson, and signing a few books. Thanks for having me, and letting me play in your TARDIS, guys!

Called it. Nothing more toxic than "The Touch of Zuck".

Shout to my guy, Ham the Astrochimp.

At last... the mystery has been solved.

Can we stop now?

Agentic computing is Microsoft's ultimate expression of their "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" methodology (if it works).

Copilot becomes your user interface for everything and everything else disappears.

I worked in and around SEO for many years. Far too many people in that industry were slavish to Google when they should have been speaking out. Google have been stealing organic clicks for years. We've let them get away with it. Now they are going to pull the biggest heist yet...

We are facing a future where Google kills the open web as we know it. Why wouldn't content creators hide their content behind paywall and registrations to protect their IP for avaricious AI companies trawling every last byte of data they can?
