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
Final Fantasy VII Remake (Review)
**Possible spoilers ahead** Final Fantasy VII is an RPG that was originally released in 1997 for the PlayStation. It’s the seventh full instalment of the Final Fantasy series that dates back to 1987 when Final Fantasy was released on the NES. This instalment follows main character Cloud Strife, a mercenary employed by an eco-terrorist group … Continue reading Final Fantasy VII Remake (Review)
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
An Instagram Battle
I’ve mentioned in previous posts that we’re currently in the middle of a house move. We’ve recently bought a new build home, and we’re now waiting for the final bits to be done before we move in. What I haven’t mentioned – well, I don’t think I have anyway – is that one of our … Continue reading An Instagram Battle
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (Review)
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons was released back in 2013 and takes place in a fantasy world filled with mythical creatures such as giants, orcs and trolls. Brothers was a game that I came across years ago on the XBox. I played it a little back then but for some reason I put it … Continue reading Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (Review)
Another Monday
On a Monday I usually do a writing update and was hoping that today I would have the news that I finished editing the proof copy of Blindsighted, but unfortunately I don't. Editing is taking a little longer than I had originally expected for one reason or another, but I'm still doing what I can … Continue reading Another Monday
The Editing Struggle
When the week started, I was determined to get the paperback proof copy of Blindsighted edited, but it so far hasn’t happened for one reason or another. I’ve managed to get around three quarters the way through it, but the past couple of days haven’t been very productive. I find editing a difficult thing to … Continue reading The Editing Struggle
The Joy of the NES
The Nintendo Entertainment System or NES was released back in the ’80s and was the first console that I ever owned – we did have a Commodore 64 as well, but I have no idea when that was bought. My NES was given to me for Christmas. I remember the day when both me and … Continue reading The Joy of the NES
Planning Your Writing
Over the past few weeks I've been thinking about the way that I write and the preparations and planning that I do for a story. I also asked some of my fellow authors on Twitter how they write; I've written two books now, with several others in progress and I realised that I haven't really … Continue reading Planning Your Writing
