He was a woke anti Gamergate guy and then someone on twitter was like “hey dude what’s with that one IT Crowd episode where the guy beats the fuck out of a woman after finding out she’s trans” and he just lost his mind instantly.

Looking forward to attending the Creative Writing Festival at @uniofglos on 29th November. A great series of panels lined up and, I'm told, free coffee for me, which sealed the deal. #creativewritingfestival #cheltenham

I'll be at @Ink84Books tomorrow for the launch of my novel, Murphy Who Talks, out now. Come down for book talk, drinks and fun times.
