Yesterday was a bad day for hip pain. So, not feeling like I could concentrate on writing, we played Skyrim. Skyrim is probably up there with Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, The Last of Us, and Mass Effect, for the games that I’ve played the most. Yes, it’s buggy as hell. Yes, … Continue reading Skyrim, Ho!

Welcome to Another Week
I'll start the week with some good news that made me happy this morning. I woke up to my first review for The Next Stage on Goodreads, and what made it even better was that it was a 5-star review. It means so much that even just one person has read and enjoyed what I've … Continue reading Welcome to Another Week
It’s All in the Eyes
It's been a long week in an exceptionally long year. Writing has this week saved my brain from having a meltdown. My new project-and hopefully next book-is called It's All in the Eyes. I don't want to give away too much at this stage, but it's turning out to be a sci-fi/horror story. It's set … Continue reading It’s All in the Eyes
Ups and Downs
I decided the other day that I was going to aim to do a new blog every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I didn’t manage to do it this week, so I’m posting today instead. A few months ago, I found out that I have a torn labrum in my left hip, this has meant for … Continue reading Ups and Downs
New Beginnings…
The Next Stage is now out, and after a few days of taking it easy, I’m back to it. I currently have 5 or 6 things that I’ve started to write, and I was trying to think which one I wanted to continue with. But me being the really intelligent human being I am and … Continue reading New Beginnings…

The Next Update
So, I've spent the last few days going through the proof copies of The Next Stage and doing some final checks. That's all done now and I just have to make the changes on the actual manuscript. I'm all set for a release on Monday 26th. Unfortunately, although I said I was going to try … Continue reading The Next Update
Writing and Learning
More editing. I’ve so far gone through the first third or so of the proof of The Next Stage. I’d say it’s going reasonably well so far. I’ve come across a number of things that I’d missed when going through the various other edits I’ve done. There’s definitely something about having it physically in my … Continue reading Writing and Learning
Proof Copy Editing
This week I'm spending my time armed with highlighters and post-its reading through the proof copy of The Next Stage and doing some final editing before release. There's something about having the physical book in my hands and reading it as it's supposed to be read that's helping me find any issues there may be … Continue reading Proof Copy Editing
