Published Art & Love, Vol. 1 as paperback and ebook. The first in a new series of non-fiction books, a keystone series in my legacy.

My podcast What Now with Simo is now also on Amazon's main site and Amazon Music. I was one of those they contacted prior to launching their podcasting platform.

My odyssey through the history of recorded music has reached the 1950s, the decade when everything in music blossomed and exploded, including record cover art. From now on I'll be sharing exceptional and sometimes questionable or ludicrous examples of this art form on Twitter and Facebook.

For the 100th birthday of one of my very favourite writers, Ray Bradbury, I was invited to record this guest podcast episode for the Cabrera Brothers' Free Bundle Originals. A very personal introduction to a series that has accompanied me through life at important moments like a dear friend, from childhood to Paris and beyond. Recorded raw, straight from the heart.

I was invited to write this guest blog for the company I translate films and TV series for. I discuss some of the challenges and joys involved, and how this work also feeds into my development as a writer.

My books featured in the Artist Alley for this year's virtual Finncon — due to the virus, not a physical one this time around. This was my first time being involved as more than a guest.

I joined the Senscape team to work under designer and main writer Agustín Cordes on Asylum, a horror adventure game of epic proportions and quality.

I'll be contributing writing as well as revising texts under his brilliant direction. I previously worked with Agustín on the free horror adventure game Serena, which was a pleasure from beginning to end.

Published word-for-word transcripts of the first season of my podcast What Now with Simo in book form. Available both as a handsome 6x9-inch paperback and an ebook, and including an introduction and some footnotes.

This is the first in this series of books, which will build up into a library as time passes. A chronicle of my life, thoughts, and daily musings, and a record of my having been here.

I started my podcast What Now with Simo:

"A freeform, wide-ranging podcast on any topics foremost on the host's mind at the time of recording. Particular favourite topics include creativity and all the arts — music, films, screenplays, fiction, poetry, comics, games, comedy, and everything in between. Messages from listeners welcomed for possible inclusion in an episode. Note that sending a recording for inclusion in an episode of this podcast does indeed implicitly give me permission to do so."
