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
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
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
The Evil Without & Book Update
The latest horror game that my Twitter followers voted for me to play was The Evil Within. Unfortunately, for some reason, I can't get the damn thing to work. I was getting very frustrated with it so I decided to start the next on the list which was White Night. I started playing White Night … Continue reading The Evil Without & Book Update
Isolated Gaming
Well, I've done it. After nearly 5 years of it sitting on my 'to play' pile, I have finally finished Alien Isolation. It took me a few days, a guide and a lot of hiding in cabinets bit I've done it and I feel better for having another game ticked off the list. Alien Isolation … Continue reading Isolated Gaming
Getting There: Another Horror Game Post
I've not been able to move all that well today - pushed a little too far on our very short walk yesterday, so I've spent the day in bed blasting through Resident Evil VII. When I left off yesterday morning I was up to the boss fight that caused me to stop playing last time, … Continue reading Getting There: Another Horror Game Post
Resident Aaaarghvil
Fresh from my completion of both Outlast 1 & 2, I decided to dive back into Resident Evil VII – I did give myself a little break after those, though, to finally finish Breath of the Wild I bought RE7 with my PS4 VR kit and thought it would be a good laugh to be … Continue reading Resident Aaaarghvil
Horror Games and Being a Wuss.
This weekend, to gear up for the Halloween season, I decided to traumatise myself by playing some of the many scary games that have been on my 'to play' list for a long time. I started with Outlast. If you're not familiar with this one, it's a first-person survival horror, and basically your wandering an … Continue reading Horror Games and Being a Wuss.
