Hi!

I'm Nick Sheridan, author of The Christmas Santa Slept and The Fault In Our Arse, one-time reviewer for Crap Looking Books, and provider of library photos and motivational quotes for No, I do NOT have too many books!

Given the recent collapse of various social media platforms, the absolute death of functioning algorithms, and a whole bunch of other stuff, I feel like it's more important than ever to maintain an e-mail community, to reach and reward those who enjoy my writing and other ventures.

You'll be kept in the loop about whatever I'm working on, get preferential access to short fiction, blogs, essays and reviews, and be the first to know about upcoming promotions and book offers - like when I finally work out what the release schedule is for I Have Tried Everything Else (500ish Days In The Quiet Room) and the companion collection I Thought You Were All Better Now?

I'd link to a flashy and engaging archive page here but it turns out working a 35-40 hour dayjob with a newly diagnosed disabilitycan be a bit limiting, so here's the default archive page from Mailerlite (2022-present), and my extremely basic looking pre-Mailerlite archive (2019-2022).

The community is free and always will be, and you can leave whenever you want. I will never bother you more than once a week, although it's more like once a month, really.
