As we’re in the middle of our move and I’m currently not doing any writing due to this, I wasn’t going to do a blog post, but I noticed that this would be my 100th post, and I didn’t want it to pass by without acknowledging it. I started this blog back in September 2020, … Continue reading 100th Post!

Friday Houseday
The end of another week. But this Friday marks something very special for us. Today is the day we get to go around our newbuild house for the first time. For the past few days, I’ve been resting up and have spent most of my time playing various games – mainly Oddworld: Soulstorm, Borderlands 3 … Continue reading Friday Houseday
Oddworld: Soulstorm (Review)
Oddworld: Soulstorm is a platformer that was released in April 2021 on PC, PS4 and PS5. It is a sequel to Oddworld New 'n' Tasty, which was a remake of the original Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and re-imaging that games sequel Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus - Not confusing at all, right? It's set a few hours after … Continue reading Oddworld: Soulstorm (Review)
Inspiration: A Ghost Story
What inspires you? A couple of weeks ago, I asked my fellow writers over on Twitter where they get their inspiration from for their writing, and although answers varied, a number of them did come up with similar answers. Mainly TV, movies, games and music. I’ve talked before about how some of my writing has … Continue reading Inspiration: A Ghost Story

Things with the house are slowly drawing to a close as we’re hoping to be in by the end of April. And my third book, Blindsighted, was released on Wednesday. I spent the bulk … Continue reading Friday Delight
Blindsighted Release Day!
Well it's that day again. The day when I get to announce that a book I've written is being sent out into the world. Blindsighted is a story I started writing before the release of my last book, The Next Stage. It's a completely different type of story. Where The Next Stage was a cyberpunk … Continue reading Blindsighted Release Day!
In Rays of the Light: Weird but Oddly Good (Review)
First off, let me say that I'm switching up my posts this week and doing my gaming post today and writing on Wednesday. The reason for this slight schedule change is that - if you didn't already know - my next book Blindsighted will be released on Wednesday, so I'll be doing a special post … Continue reading In Rays of the Light: Weird but Oddly Good (Review)
Plants, Mental Health and the Tale of Momma
If you'd told me ten years ago that I would find tending to plants relaxing and good for my mental health, I'd have said you were a total stinking liar (sorry, but I would.) I didn't see myself making 30, so anything beyond that was unobtainable. But I'm still here. I'm now a writer, and … Continue reading Plants, Mental Health and the Tale of Momma

Blindsighted: A New Book on the Way
Welcome to another week I started writing what became Blindsighted when I was trying to get back into writing after being unable to get going on anything when struggling with my mental health. Starting a new story really helped me get back into writing and calm my brain, which at the time was going a … Continue reading Blindsighted: A New Book on the Way
