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 …

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, …

…Company will Advance!
It’s almost Dawn here in Britain, or as they’d say in the Trenches: Seven-oh-five Ac.emma. (7.05 am) War mages: Sharpshooter has been submitted to Amazon.

Without further ado, here’s the first: Prologue: MONDAY, 11th AUGUST, 1919. 0303Hrs Alarm bells rang out across Antwerp’s fortified containment wall, spurring the Imperial German Army to …

I was torn between calling it Stormtrooper and Hard Target, but here’s the blurb anyway. *** The Great War is paused by a ceasefire. Brokered by the Americans, it allows families across the world to count the cost. Still, the terror casts …
Battle Dressed

Big thanks to my cover designer Ken. Seriously, this guy is making some real moves, so it’s amazing he even has time …
