*DISCLAIMER: THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS AND SOLUTIONS TO PUZZLES* In my time off over Christmas, Alex and I thought it would be a good idea to try to get the platinum trophy on Vampyr for the PS4.

The End of a Holiday
Last week I posted about taking a break from writing over Christmas. I was only supposed to be coming back to it tomorrow (Tuesday), but I've missed writing more than I ever thought I would, so I'm starting again today.

Now that I don't have a "real" job and I'm writing full time, … Continue reading An Author’s Holiday

December PSNow – Stranded Deep (A Review)
A few months ago we decided that to stop us spending a fortune on new games, and to play things that we wouldn’t necessarily have bought, we’d get PSNow. As we play through the games when they’re added, I’m going to give them a bit of a review and let you know what we thought … Continue reading December PSNow – Stranded Deep (A Review)
The Next Stage; 100! (Bonus Entry)
It's been a little under two months since The Next Stage released in Kindle and paperback form. Today it an amazing milestone.
