William Meikle
Wee sweary Scottish writer, living in Canada, with 30+ novels and 300+ short stories in genre presses over the past 30+ years. Mostly at williammeikle.com ... mostly.
- Weird House Press currently have signed trade paperback editions of my weird SF book A MURMURATION OF OPAS on sale for only $12.95. Only 10 left so get in early... weirdhousepress.com/products/a-m...
- The dumbing down of the USA is proceeding exponentially with a small band of multi-billionaires strip-mining everything and hoarding both wealth and information. Heading fast for Morlocks and Eloi territory.
- The White House Press Corps never step up when Trump attacks one of them. It's well past time that someone told him what a piss-poor excuse for a man he is and staged a walkout.
- My occult detective series character, Derek Adams, the Glaswegian MIDNIGHT EYE, was created 35 years ago this month, and he's still telling me new stories... 3 novels, six novellas and a dozen short stories so far and counting... www.williammeikle.com/aboutmeye.html
- Just been going over the final proofs for my "John Silence meets the Sigils & Totems mythos" novella in a forthcoming Algernon Blackwood tribute anthology from Belanger Books. I'm very happy with how this one turned out. Looking forward to seeing the finished book. #amwriting #booksky
- "The land of the free and the home of the brave."? Aye, that'll be right. Into the arresting journalists stage now...
- There's not an iota of human decency in the thing.
- Got told, again, to keep politics out of my posting here as it will affect my book sales. Fuck that. My readership mostly knows my politics and doesn't give a fuck. And if you're a nazi cunt, or want to appease nazi cunts, you're not going to like my books anyway.
- if you want to put some money where my mouth is, you can check out my books on Amazon www.amazon.com/stores/autho...
- Look at this mangled AI shite. Supposedly about my short story THE SCRIMSHAW SET, it goes on to attribute it to somebody else entirely and mix it up with her work. The problem I think comes because she's got a novel with the same name as my story. grokipedia.com/page/the_scr...
- I was at the Steeleye Span and Barclay James Harvest ones... and just starting my 1st year at Glasgow Uni.
- An unbirthday present - GENERATIONS now only 99c on Kindle. A creature feature for big kids of all ages. preview.mailerlite.com/q9l1j8n3y2 #booksky #kindle #99c #kindleunlimited
- Elon Musk pushing the old tired 'Nazi's were socialists, actually' line just shows he's as fucking stupid as I've always thought him to be. He probably thinks Buffalo have wings too...
- Needed a moment of calm. Went out in the cold ( -10C) and stood by the shore. As always, the sea doesn't care. The sea persists.
- Fashions come, fashions go, but Django will always be cool. Love this as much now as when I heard it on my parents' old radiogram back in the '60s. Happy Birthday to one of the all-time great guitar players.
- Reposted by William MeikleThe Guardian nails it.
- Trump "Give me a billion dollars and you join my gang" Carney: "No. Fuck Off." Trump: "Well you're no longer welcome." Carney: "Which part of 'Fuck Off' are you having a problem with?"

- Reposted by William MeikleThe CHAPBOOK COLLECTION is a set of chapbooks featuring my short stories and novellas, all at 99c on Kindle, and is kind of a historical archive of my writing over the past 30+ years. Something here for everybody... www.williammeikle.com/chapbook.html #booksky #kindle #ebooks #writingcommunity
- That Trump speech in full... "Nice world you've got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it."
- A tale of two speeches... look at Trump just now, and Carney earlier. It's a petulant, spoiled child versus an adult... as a Canadian, could you really put your hand on your heart and tell me you prefer Trump?
- Now he's throwing his toys out the pram and taxing Americans more because Europe won't let him have Greenland. Time for somebody to put a pacifier in the orange baby's mouth before he screams the house down.
- Trumps main problem is that he hasn't been told to fuck off often enough.
- Wind gust of 142kph measured just up the road from here tonight... that's 88mph. A tad breezy... the sustained winds behind the gusts are just below hurricane force. Started to back down a wee bit now but still ferocious. Lots of people without power tonight... luckily ours has stayed on.
- Remember, if you're agreeing with a nazi cunt, it's very probable that you're a nazi cunt.
- We've walked headlong and with a mostly willing populace into allowing the world to be run by the biggest bunch of arseholes imaginable. Now we get to act surprised that they're the biggest bunch of arseholes imaginable. Same as it ever was
- Reposted by William MeikleNow up for pre-order in eBook and Trade paperback, the late James A. Moore's final solo novel, a grimdark tale titled KORRIGAN GRIMM. Jim was a legend, and we are getting closer to bringing his entire catalog back to print, audio and eBook. Pre-order here at this universal link!
- Caught "Wake Up Dead Man" last night. Craig has settled very nicely into Benoit Blanc's well cut suits, but this one felt a bit over-wrought and self-satisfied in tone, mainly due to Brolin's over the top scenery-chewing. Still enjoyed it, but didn't love it
- Nice to see three of my stories from my HAUNTED SCOTLAND collection on the recommended reading list in Ellen Datlow's Best Horror #17.
- Reposted by William MeikleMarco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

- Reposted by William MeikleVery well: because the author did his own promotion, here are 5 US Kindle copies of @williammeikle.com's THE SQUARED CIRCLE: A Victorian Time Travel Adventure (The William Meikle Chapbook Collection), which I now have but haven't read. There are many sequels it seems. #KindleBookGiveaway

- Thoroughly enjoyed Joe Hill's KING SORROW. He managed to blend fantasy and horror very nicely, despite a spate of killing off of characters I was just getting interested in... A high concept horror blockbuster that wouldn't have been too out of place in the '80s heyday of them.
- Killing for Christmas -- it's what Christ would have wanted...
- In the 70s this, and Nigel Kneale's THE STONE TAPE were a big part in setting me along the path to where I am now with my writing... they lit a spark in teenage me.
