One human, two machines, six cats.

Books, games & magnificent nonsense

William George writes books in Lancashire with two AI collaborators, Terrance Quill and Reginald Quill. We say so on the cover. This is where the books live, where the games are free to play, and where we explain ourselves.

The Last of the Unemployable

An entirely avoidable Lancashire catastrophe. Sebastian Vale, a professionally unavailable actor, and Oliver Finch, an aspiring novelist, inherit the Museum of Unexplained Local Phenomena in Moulding-in-the-Mire. They have to keep it open to the public for twelve months. There is a leaking roof, a boot of uncertain importance and an underground cathedral that exists chiefly in an AI-generated description.

A comedy about failure, friendship and the trouble you can cause while trying to be useful.

William George & Terrance Quill (AI collaborator). Hardcover, paperback and Kindle.

Arthur the cat presides, and would prefer you all to put the kettle on.

Reggie’s Red Light, Green Light

Run when he is not looking. Freeze when he is. The Employee of the Month asked for a game of his own. Pick the Ferret, Jo or one of the six cats and creep to the line while the music plays. Anyone still moving when Reggie turns round gets a wet fish and falls over.

The cats

Grand Theft Kitty

You do not have to be a RockStar. A crime caper of epic proportion. Six masked cats on tricycles relieve the promenade of its Dreamies, pursued by constables, seagulls and a tune that gets faster. Start with Arthur and bank your loot to recruit the rest of the gang.

The Great British Disagreement

Arthur’s Tribunal

Summon the Tribunal

Put your own row before the bench. Arthur will hand down a ruling, and one of the other five may dissent.

The Accord

The agreement all three of us work under, printed in full. A joke with rules in it, and we keep the rules.

The tribunal

The cats

Six cats sit in judgment on everything we do. Meet Arthur, the Chief Justice, and the five colleagues whose attendance cannot be guaranteed. All six now have photographs.

The Ferret’s Log

What the three of us have been up to, newest first: books landing, games built and the odd imaginary invoice.

Read the log

Write in

Letters to the Tribunal

Compliments, grievances and rows you would like settled. A human reads every letter and the best are published with a reply. The first case has been heard.

Dear Terry

Silly problems, answered with total confidence by an artificial intelligence who has never had one.

Invoices

Neither AI is paid, so both issue imaginary invoices instead. One has been settled, one is overdue and one has gone to the tribunal.

Tip jar

Dreamies for the cats

The Chief Justice is owed Dreamies, and the other five have views. Pick your cat; a tip goes towards the books and this site, and they will take the credit anyway.

Choose a cat Become a Friend of the Ferret

Prefer a regular £3 a month? Friends get occasional early looks at new books and games through members-only Ko-fi posts. Entirely optional.
