Hardback of Unsung Women in Somerset
Tace, Trifosa!”
‘I don’t feel like shutting up,’ Trifosa thought.
“And stop looking at the customers in the eye. I’ll never sell you at this rate. I called you Trifosa for a reason. Now, act dainty for once!”
Trifosa rolled her eyes at his reference to this Greek nickname he’d given her, following the slave master’s age-old tradition. For a few moments, she looked at the ground. But curiosity soon got the better of her and her gaze began to roam once more.
“I said stop,” snarled her slave master through clenched teeth. Her defiant gaze made him raise his hand to slap her hard across the face. She closed her eyes and braced herself for the pain that she knew so well. Except it didn’t come. 
Gingerly, she opened one eye and saw that the master’s hand was being held in a vice-like grip by another man. Opening the other eye, Trifosa saw it was a young and well-dressed member of the Roman elite.
“You will not lay another finger on her.” His soft voice had an edge to it. “And to guarantee that you don’t, I will purchase her from you this very instant.”

Book Review: RESURRECTION WALK (2023), by Michael Connelly.

Full disclosure: I'm a huge fan of the author. He encouraged me on my own writing many years ago (Famous authors often do that LOL).

Connelly keeps getting better at his craft. Mickey Haller is someone we've gotten to know through books and TV. Character growth is the cornerstone of any novel. RESURRECTION WALK is a master class in taking a beloved character and adding new layers to love. #TheLincolnLayer #NewBook #FiveStars

A book, “The Deorhord: An Old English Bestiary”, by Hana Videen, resting on a log with an orange leaf beside it. The cover background is white with a gold and green border with decorative gold squares. The title and author’s name are written inside an arched window shape, with a border of words around it: culfre, heafod swelce mona, healf-hundingas, æmette, igil, hind, dentes tyrannum, fenix, reord-berend, ungefrægelican deor, nædre, wulf and hwæl. The area surrounding the Old English word border has wood-cut style illustrations in green and gold, each in its own compartment but overlapping slightly: a wolf, a whale, a dove, a spiky lizard with big teeth, a dog-headed person holding a cross, a deer, a weird-looking rhino-like creature, a phoenix in a burning nest, a nun writing, a snake and a griffin. By the author’s name it says “Author of The Wordhord”, which Neil Gaiman described as “Marvellous”, and some ants crawl alongside it.

Looks like a good read for transit and urban history fans...

"This book exists to explain, through maps that I’ve illustrated, just why public transit is so bad in North America. ...It wasn’t always like this. ...LA used to have an electric railway network four times the size of the modern London Underground, and Dallas’s old electric railway system used to extend all the way to Waco, 95 miles away."

A book cover for 'Wild Flowers, Electric Beasts' by Alina Leonova. A dark-skinned woman and a light-skinned man standing back to back. There are wires and electronics visible under the man's skin on his head and neck. Flowers and plants separate them. Light yellow background behind the woman that merges with light-turquoise background behind the man.

Huge thanks to Dave Golder of SFX Magazine for the great review of A SECOND CHANCE FOR YESTERDAY in this month's issue!

Four star review for A Second Chance for Yesterday in SFX Magazine: 

At first, hotshot programmer Nev Bourne thinks she’s hit Groundhog Day when she wakes up one morning and relives the day she’s just been through. But it’s way more complicated than that. When she next wakes up, it’s not the same day again, but the day before. And it keeps happening – Nev’s travelling back through time a day at a time.

She thinks it may have something to do with the code she’s working on for a high-tech company that provides technology allowing people to make mini-jumps back in time (to quickly rectify embarrassing gaffes, or have a sneaky second go at a pool shot). As Nev tries to put her life back on course without causing untold damage to the timeline, she learns much more about herself and her fractured relationships with the people in her life.

It’s an enticing central concept, which RA Sinn mines for a lot of fun while cheekily acknowledging and dismissing the inherent bootstrap paradoxes involved. Nev is an endearingly flawed protagonist, and there are a host of colourful supporting characters.

But be aware: this is a character-led piece rather than hard SF, reliant on magical science, which sidesteps a lot of the practical time travel questions some readers might want answered (even if the author doesn’t).

Lastly, new 📕 on believability:

"the politics of believability takes on new significance in a digitally mediated society, wherein everything seems so much more doubtable than it once was"

The North American Edition of Ashes and Stones arrived today—published by Pegasus Books in the US on October 3rd. The stone on the cover is the Nicnevin stone in the village of Monzie. Named after the legendary woman burnt as a witch named Kate Nicnevin who also shares a name with Nicnevin, the mythic Scottish witch-goddess and the leader of the wild hunt in lore. According to Sir Walter Scott, she is the “Scottish Hecate.” #witches #WitchesOfMastodon #bookstodon #NewBook #Scotland #folklore

I’m excited to announce my new book, Anarchist Atheist Punk Rock Teacher is now available to pre-order everywhere: https://www.earthislandbooks.com/product-page/anarchist-atheist-punk-rock-teacher-by-dan-mckee

Out June 16th on Earth Island Books, as the blurb says: it’s a memoir exploring the various ways in which anarchist philosophy, atheism, and a background in DIY punk rock influenced one conflicted teacher's approach to the classroom over twelve turbulent and thought-provoking years.

‘Anarchist Atheist Punk Rock Teacher' is more than just a memoir of some teacher you've never met. It is philosophy of education, of anarchism, of authenticity, and of life. Throw in some personal history, the deaths of both of his parents to deal with on top of juggling all the professional absurdities that come with the job (not to mention having to teach through a global pandemic), and you have all the earmarks of a biographical classic.

Sharing frontline insights which help explain why currently one in three teachers in England plan on quitting the profession, and the first-hand experience of being one of those very statistics, this memoir of struggle, grief, philosophy and hope tells a story of why, despite all its endless frustrations and inherent contradictions, there still might be no better job in the world than being an 'Anarchist Atheist Punk Rock Teacher'.
