Success isn’t final, failure isn’t fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Winston Churchill. Right, let’s bake this biscuit. I’m going to refer to yesterday’s post a lot – don’t worry, I’m not going to dissect it, just bust it up a little to get the choc-chips out. 😊 One thing that struck …

Losing Purchase
Thankfully, this is not a post about holding on, although God knows, I need to. Changes in my non-author life are making waves again, but that’s just how it is. Onwards. I saw a post or blog, or note somewhere a little while ago, and with the launch of the Knitted Knomes, the thought came …
Heavin’ Up The Boulder
Just a quickie! Well I am glad to report a couple of copies of The Knitted Knomes have gone out! This is great, as hopefully there will be a small trickle of interest which leads to a review or two 🙂 The wicked rest not, I am still working on War Mages, and we’re now …
Navel Grazing
“Time and Tide wait for no man.” Ancient observation. Yet here I am, dawdling in the doldrums, whilst the surf of life smashes shale into granules of sand. I’ll wager you didn’t expect me to be waxing lyrical this early, but I’m in the mood for bloody awful poetry as I wade through the tide …
Bouldering.

Isn’t that something? 🙂 Welcome new travellers, I hope that you find something you like within these unruly mutterings! Thank you to everyone who keeps reading and liking, it’s helping all the time. So what is …
Nearly done!
Hammered out a goodly few words for Only Bloody Money. It’s now at 50k and rising, so it’s well on track to hit 55-60k, which will, on second revision work up to about 70-90k. We’ve just had the climax and now it’s just a bit of mop up and the epilogue. The end was good …
Thanks!
This was going to be a huge ramble, but I thought coming to the point and adding an update would be less gruelling for my fellow Adventurers! Thank you to whoever bought my book (Children of The Glyph) in the past few days – I really appreciate it and I am always grateful to the …
Number Crunch
Firstly, I want to announce we have a few more followers to this blog! I bid you welcome, come and sit, indulge yourself by reading my nonsensical uttering and forget about your crazy day for a moment. Thank you to all my Dear Readers and Good Followers, your involvement and support keep me pushing onward. …
Blood, Sweat and Foiled
Just a quick update from me today. I’m hitting Rebellion of Mars really hard, but getting nowhere fast. It’s pushing the boulder uphill because it has to be re-written almost completely. I’ve changed the character motivations, made things a bit more proactive and have some ideas how to heighten tension, but I’m not sure it’s …
Block of Writing
The Manuscript has arrived. All 330 pages. *Heavy breathing intensifies* Time to go to work.
