This is one of my peonies! Isn’t it lovely? They’ve mostly all come out this year, and seeing it makes me happy. I wish there were more bees about to visit it, but the weather has been awful. At least it helps everything grow! Anyway, on a related note, Covenant, my Line-of-Fire meets Underworld manuscript …

Spotty Reception
This is a bit different to my usual fare, so please bear with me. Parked a few metres from the entrance of the supermarket, I was waiting out a ghastly hailstorm, thankfully safely ensconced inside my car. When it tailed off, and the sun came out, I was about to get out and make the …
Cobwebs Removal
Been a while since I last updated, so thought I’d throw out a quickie to say what I’ve been up to. Getting as many words down as possible! I’ve started putting together my occult novel, got a storyboard for it, and about 5,000-ish words. Been busy refurbishing other projects as well, so in the past …
Moving Forward
Well, New Year is over and it’s back to the boulder, although I’m having trouble deciding which boulder to push. I’ve got a lot of works in first/second draft that could use a clean up and need to get published, but I’m having a hard time deciding which. This is, unfortunately, a common problem of …
Getting Das Boot
Firstly, we’ve had a couple of new subscribers. Hello fellow adventurers! Now, to the meat of this post. I’m no film critic, nor script genie, but I am a storyteller, and I recently watched The Making of Das Boot (the movie one, as there was a TV program as well). I was astounded they actually …
Building Character
For some reason, lately I’ve been watching a lot of Sherlock Holmes films, the ones starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. This stirred me to do a little research, as I’d bumped into these wartime renditions of the Great Detective before, but now, with my author head well and truly on, I was motivated to …
Merry Christmas
Just a thank you to all the adventurers who’ve kept up with me and this blog for another year of madness and tribulation. Thank you to everyone who bought or supported my recent book, and apologies to everyone for going on about it so much, but there’s still time to get it on Kindle! 😉 …
Fine Adjustments
Firstly, thank you to everyone who has purchased my books over the past week, I appreciate it a great deal and I hope you enjoy them. As seems to always be the case, there’s a formatting error in there, which I corrected immediately upon discovery. Kindle E-books should be updated by clearing the download from …
Changing Track
Something a bit different from me today, just to prove I’m not a one-note wonder. I’ve just finished watching Mel Gibson in ‘The Fatman‘ (2020) and it’s incredibly dark, but I have to admit to liking it. Bear with me whilst I explain – I’m not a movie critic, but I wanted to share my …
Season’s Treatings
The festive season is usually reserved for the pursuit of cheer and happiness with good friends and family, but sometimes, when they drive you mad, you just want to escape into a different world. Well, I have several different flavours of escapism for you. Something warm with a dash of sharp: My first middle-grade book, …
