From seasons of silence, to two posts in one weekend. No self-indulgent diatribe today; this is just a little PSA that, as of today, the eBook version of Herakles is available to pre-order from Amazon KDP. If you own a Kindle e-reader, or any device that has access to the Kindle app or Amazon Library, […]
Morning, peeps and creeps. I hope you had a Happy New Year and enjoyed your Twelve Days of Xmas. Nothing quite so uplifting as taking down your tree and lights… not. I refrained from posting my usual Christmas and New Years guff on this blog this time round, for various boring and uninspiring reasons. I’ve […]
Hellooooooooo. I know. I know. My streak of surprisingly consistent small-form blogposts came to a crashing end, this summer, with a rather resounding 4-month absence since I finished the first draft of Herakles. Long enough, in fact, for the weather to turn a pleasant shade of autumn in the meantime (when it wasn’t bucketing down […]
So I’ve been gone for a little while, but the absence was worth it. If you follow my social media, then you’ll have doubtless seen my rather shitty TikTok documenting the little milestone I yet at 23:40 on Sunday night. I’ve finally completed the first draft of Herakles, and unlike last time, I’ve done so […]
There’s a particular clip from the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice that I’ve always found strangely poignant and timeless. It’s also one I think is utterly stone-dead hilarious, and frankly, I’ve been awaiting the day I can share it with baited breath. I’ve been away from this blog for longer than anticipated, though for […]
Salvete, amici. This weekend I hit a rather special milestone on my wordcount, after a handful of weeks of thwarted but still decent progress. A big moment, fo sho. I’m not quite as jubilant as I ought to be, as while this speed of progress is good, I’ve felt the plot has dragged a little […]
I’m only a day off this year. Last year it was over a fortnight, so I suppose that’s a partial improvement? The ironic thing is I actually did remember to post about it yesterday, only for it to completely slip my mind. Only Twitter was there to thankfully give me a nudge (given I set […]
Shadow is going quite well, recently. Suspiciously well, you might say. I’m closer to the end of Part II then the start of it, and Part II was probably the section I thought would be hardest to write. If anything, it’s the most straightforward part of the novel in terms of plot – the Argo […]
Hello all. Just a very brief post to kick off February with. Now the dust is settling on my Moan Inc. interview (which I hope you all enjoyed as much as I did), I have one other little announcement that almost slipped beneath the radar. My award-winning short story, Ode to an Odyssey, that won […]
This afternoon I happened to hop on YouTube – as I often do, most days – and scrolling through my feed of subscribed channels and suggested videos, I came across a rather familiar thumbnail. Intrigued, I clicked through. And then peered a little closer. Shit, I thought. I know that guy. I can now confirm […]
