Dear lord, that last blogpost did not age well. As any long-time followers of this blog will know, a gap of seven months between posts isn’t exactly out of character for me. Nor is waxing lyrical about a novel’s progress, and proclaiming it will be done in a month or two. In actual fact, after […]
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 […]
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 […]
Wow, look at that. Two posts in one weekend. I’ve been sitting on this for a few weeks now without telling people, but now it’s finally here I’m excited to spill. Remember Ode to an Odyssey? That story I wrote about Odysseus being a mopey bastard after the Fall of Troy, which won a commendation […]
Hello all! Apologies, once again, for another record-breaking hiatus. (Well, okay, 6 weeks for me isn’t quite record-breaking, but the point still stands). I’m resurfacing now winter has finally passed with a little bit of news. Remember that 1500 word story on the theme of Troy, that I wrote for the LSA Classical Competition? Well, […]
February is here! January blues are (apparently) behind us. The cold weather, sadly, isn’t. I wouldn’t mind quite so much if the weather was at least consistent – but frankly, days that alternate between 2⁰C all the way to above 10⁰C make planning your time ahead that bit more frustrating. Particularly if you have a […]
Again, not a particularly lengthy post, but just a little heads-up to say that my short story, Aquilifer, is finally out as an eBook on Amazon! For the small price of £0.99 you can devour the 6000ish words and find out what Orbus and Brauda get up to in the weeks following the end of […]
Well. Shit. This kind of snuck up on me when I wasn’t looking. In the chasm of time since my last blog, I’d kind of forgotten how much the follower count tends to jump each time I post (more because I retweet each one too and post it on my official Facebook than any other […]
Oh, my. Well. That particular milestone crept up on me a lot quicker than I’d anticipated. It seems incredibly churlish to whine or complain about the rate at which the hit counter is racking up hits, but still. It’s scuppered my plans a little, but I suppose there are worse problems to have when building […]
