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!"

Soundclash – Smells Like Kevin Bacon

Goooooooood Evening. It’s time for another episode of Soundclash: The Musical Challenge Show! This week, Chris and Lee are playing ‘Smells Like Kevin Bacon’, where each song must have a (sometimes spurious) link to the previous song. But who will be victorious? As always, YOU decide!

The post Soundclash – Smells Like Kevin Bacon appeared first on South Wales ONE.

Shock! Horror! Apple engineers spot that AI large language models don't actually reason but just produce a facsimile of steps they've seen in their training data. No understanding of underlying concepts = No intelligence.

For goodness sake, please stop ending your social media posts with "That's it. That's the post".
We know when the post is over.
Honestly.
We do.

That's it. That's the post.

I have just voluntarily played "Who Let The Dogs Out" on . It can only be downhill from here.

For my fellow fans.

I was writing. I lost track of the time. It's 1.10 and I think I just hit my second wind. I will pay for this tomorrow.

More grotesquery from the world of unregulated AI. People who glory in the idea of "cloning" employees, and even themselves, need to think carefully about the path that they are on.

I'm closing out my best month EVER on Welcome to Neverbury more than a year after the book was published. Proof, if anyone needed it, that sales don't inevitably dry up after release.

Some chancer is selling "Welcome to Neverbury" for £12.99 on eBay. It's £6.99 brand new.

Substack finally has a mobile editor for Android - great news, unless you are one of my subscribers because your inboxes are going to be a lot fuller...

Current status... Over-excited.

Does anyone else get a little flutter of joy when they check their Amazon reports first thing in the morning and there are already Kindle Unlimited page reads there? I don't know what the delay is on these reports, but I like to image those pages reads come from someone who stayed up past midnight for... just... one... more... chapter. In reality, I'm probably someone's chosen read during their morning ablutions. Either way, I salute you reader!
