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

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!
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
Writing Update – Blindsighted Second Draft
A few weeks ago I finished the first draft of my new paranormal/ horror story Blindsighted.

We all have to find ways of getting through them; some people have built things, others painted, watched, read, played, … Continue reading Lockdown Writing

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
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
