Now some of you may be thinking, just a minute, I've heard of this mythical novel, where the hell has it been? Well to let you into a no-so-secret secret. It's been doing the rounds...

Thought I'd drop you a quick post showing the transformation of an old classic animated D&D to a newly revamped and live action version as a Renault Ad. If you remember Hank, Diana, Presto, Sheila, Eric, Bobby and Uni vs the dreaded Venger and Tiamat, then this might amuse you as much as it amused... Continue Reading →

During the annual competition for HAC (The Huddersfield Authors Circle) it was voted winner in the Opening 2,000 words of a... Continue Reading →
So I've received Fogbound back from my editor and the news is... Drumroll please... Astoundingly good. Yes, there are a few areas that require looking at, but they are mainly about pacing and the order of some of the early chapters and new character POV's. All of these I was expecting, and there are some... Continue Reading →
It’s #FogboundFriday again already. Where does the time go? Main news today is Fogbound had been sent to the Beta Readers and my Editor. That’s it for writing for a while. I’ll just sit back twiddling my thumbs and eating cake. Well, either that, or I’ll pick up on my other novel ArkZeroNine, which is […]
