As I've previously said, in May of this year I quit my job in IT, because I decided I just couldn't do it anymore and it was affecting my mental health...blah, blah, blah, but this blog isn't about that, it's about holidays. Now that I don't have a "real" job and I'm writing full time, … Continue reading An Author’s Holiday

Cover Second Thoughts
Monday, Monday, Monday. I’m back to writing this week after all the fun last week, what with pain meds knocking me into a parallel universe and ending up in hospital with an excruciating migraine. Well, I say back to writing…last night I got thinking about the cover for The Next Stage. I know, I know, … Continue reading Cover Second Thoughts
Distribution Woes
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been asked by multiple people where else The Next Stage is available from as they don’t use Amazon. I’ve spent some time looking into this and have found a few more places I’m going to make it available. First off, it’s now on Lulu as an ePUB format. I’ve … Continue reading Distribution Woes
Skyrim, Ho!

It means so much that even just one person has read and enjoyed what I've … Continue reading Welcome to Another Week

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
