📚 Going for some #lofi vibes with this one…and that one scene in the #bluesbrothers movie in the flophouse in Chicago

📚 Here’s the opening to my #wip for #ao3 called ‘The Soft Trill of Fate’ - another ‘tale’ from the #radiumage

This short snippet is set years before ‘Gangs of the Radium Age’ and follows a familiar face: one Eddy Smith.

Conrad from ‘Gangs of the Radium Age’ is definitely unpredictable from Eddy’s perspective (although some of that’s down to things working differently in the Borough Belt). But he’s still a proponent of ‘planning in the moment’ or making shit up as you go.

📚 Already working on the next tale…a prequel snippet with Eddy Smith, the protagonist of my novel-length story ‘Gangs of the Radium Age.’ I just can’t get enough of writing her, apparently!

This one’s fun! I think the party is Conrad’s idea (he would have sneaky reasons for hosting it) & Eddy would take some convincing. She’d also end up doing the cooking even though she’s not keen on it. Conrad would do the socialising for sure (he’d insist).

Hypothetical day! Your characters are hosting a dinner party!

Whose idea was this? Is everyone on board? Who is doing most of the cooking? The organizing? The socializing?

Happy #hgwells day! Here’s the first in a series of short snippets set in my original #radiumage universe. This first one is also a sort of “mini prequel” to my book ‘Gangs of the Radium Age’ and you can read both now on AO3!

Some of the Radium Age books from MIT Press I have collected so far. I’m not sure I’ll get a full set of these as I already own things like The Night Land by William Hope Hodgson, but we will see when money is flowing again

Airships, oppression, towers that touch the sky. A detective in the city of tomorrow. The sleeper awakes.

It’s H.G. Wells day! Here’s a link to a book I wrote inspired by his timeless work:

Stevens’ writing is both reflective of the societal upheaval in her time and freshly insightful. And frighteningly, there are intense similarities to tensions today. My #review of THE HEADS OF CERBERUS from @mitpress.bsky.social. #bookreview #radiumage
