Recently, I asked which Austen/Bronte character you would interview, and I still maintain that it would be Wentworth for me.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 217.
Sarah Perry's modern gothic novel Melmoth (2018) is a real treat; both a narrative of shame & a fictionalised dossier of accounts of Melmoth, a witness to the resurrection condemned to wander the world for eternity for denying what she saw (and finding those equally denying sin), it offers a modern take on the heroine explodes to a (here named) horror. The ending is a little weak, but by no means spoils a tour-de-force.

Fahrenheit 451. By Ray Bradbury.
It’s the future, and your job is to burn books found in people’s homes, as they are illegal; you never questioned this because everyone is fine with this idea since books were replaced long ago with more entertaining visual media, but then something makes you want to read one of these books, and a different kind of flame is lit inside you.

Starting my GDC week off with a bang! I have just been notified that my contract at Rookery Interactive will not be renewed in 2 weeks, so I am suddenly #OpenToWork! Please keep me in mind for any writing or consulting roles. If you're at GDC & would like to meet, lmk!
I’m open to remote roles, or positions in Bangkok!
I've worked on a ton of games, comics and books, and am available for writing, consulting & editing outside of games.

I am downright delighted to announce that my latest book, YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION, has a brand new look. I really love it, and I hope you do too.
Here’s a look at what’s changed and—maybe more importantly—what’s stayed the same:

Today in Labor History March 17, 1968: The U.S. Army Chemical Corps killed over 6,000 sheep while illegally testing a nerve gas agent at the Dugway Proving Ground in Skull Valley, Utah. A 1998 report, the by Air Force Press was the "first documented admission" from the Army that a nerve agent killed the sheep at Skull Valley. The incident inspired Stephen King's novel “The Stand.”

I actually believed in print-on-demand ebook to paperback for a while.

The worst part about finishing a book is trying to decide what to read next. It sometimes takes me DAYS to decide on something to read. Anyone else?

How I find most books these days is just browsing my libraries genre tag or seeing if my favorite narrators narrated something new. #Books #Library #Libraries @bookstodon
A FEMINIST SURVIVAL THRILLER captures the tough existence of off-the-grid life in the Arizona desert, and the ways people of integrity stand up against brutality. Grim and cathartic. SOLID B
Probably should be taken as read that everything AustCrime is "late" but the last fortnight's update is very late:
is very late.
Highlights: all the books added and reviewed. Not a dud amongst what's a very eclectic and rather pleasing mix.
