Welcome fellow travellers! Especially our new batch of friends as we march in a Pilgrim’s Procession to the lands of adventure and excitement, where our protagonists are battered senseless for the ones they care about, put through hell for our amusement, and given a bloody good ending (if you know what you’re doing) where they …

Own Sweet Time
Thought I’d write something and catch up with you all! Thanks to all my long term adventurers and those new to the fold for sticking with it! Been up and down busy lately, with two projects now sitting in a lull, awaiting decisions. Got one off with an Editor – only because it’s a totally …
Busy, busy…
Apologies to all who follow the blog for not updating in a few days – ten (wait, ten? ten!) to be exact. I haven’t been idle. I’ve finished my YA book, which may be an adult book, God knows at this point, and have finally found an Editor after trawling the pages of a directory …
New Year
Firstly: Happy new year to all the adventurers that follow this blog! The world is in a strange place at the moment (for everyone it seems) and all I can hope for is that you managed to to get a bit of peace and quiet above all the hullabaloo that’s going on around us. For …
Just Do(n’t) It
I can’t afford Shouty LeBeef, nor do I want to pay him royalties, nor do I own running shoes named after a Greek goddess (Nike), so we’re just going to have to make do. Let’s get down to brass tacks. When I frequented Twitter, I had several mutual followers, I followed them, they followed back, …
Trouble An’ Strife
If you use a colloquialism or a slang word or phrase, simply use it; do not draw attention to it by enclosing it in quotation marks. To do so is to put on airs, as though you were inviting the reader to join you in a select society of those who know better. – William Strunk Jr A scathing introduction and cautionary word …
Behind the Scenes
Well, I don’t care if it’s God’s own anti-sonofabitch machine, or just a giant hula-hoop, we’re not gonna let ’em have it! Sergeant Major Johnson – Halo: CE Opening Sequence, Legendary Difficulty. Pardon the use of a gung-ho Halo video game quote, but it suits my purposes nicely. It may not look connected, but let …
A Quick Query
Firstly, hello to another handful of Adventurers! Welcome, sit ye down around the fire and share in the tales of my witless jabbering! 🙂 I was directed to a publishing company that was looking for submissions in my genre, (no YA, Fantasy, Screenplays or Poetry oddly) so I have put together a tight synopsis and …
Long Time No Shriek
Apologies fellow adventurers for my absence. I did pop a post up about Villains etc a week ago, but I admit it was winding and rubbish, so I binned it. If you saw it, no, you’re not going mad, I just wind-bagged from the Chaises-Longues a bit. I might go back and write it again. …
Journey/Ending.
Welcome to the new adventurers joining our ranks 🙂 I hope you find something of import within these pages! With the welcome mat out, we better turn to the matter at hand. “It’s about the journey, not the destination.” – Some Chaises-Longues dwelling author, presumably. In my not-so-humble-opinion, no, it really isn’t. By doing this, …
