Herakles – More ARC Reviews

Greetings y’all. Since Kayla Cook‘s lovely review of Herakles is now out in the world, I thought it was only fair to add the couple of others that I’ve been lucky to receive since then. Firstly, a few words from Mark Knowles, who you may remember has written his own mighty trilogy about the exploits […]

5000th Time Lucky…

Ahem. So it would seem I missed a rather key milestone on this blog the other week. Not a lot to say here, but given how the last three years or so I’ve been trying (and largely failing) to build a following for my work, which could translate into any sort of meaningful impact on […]

Herakles – The (Liver-Eating) Eagle Has Landed

Yes, this post is over a fortnight late. Nope, I cannot bring myself to care. Well, the moment has come. As you will have probably seen from my Instagram and abominable TikToks, both eBookles and Paperbackles are now available to buy on Amazon, one for predictably less money than the other. And yes, I am […]

Herakles – eBook Pre-order

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, […]

Herakles – Cover Reveal

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 […]

The Carrion Rain (With An Autumnal Update Thrown In…)

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 […]

Herakles – ‘Ere We Go

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 […]

‘I’m 27 Years Old…’

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 […]

Shadow of the Prow – An Easter Milestone

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 […]
