Shadow of the Prow – What I’m Reading

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 […]

Ode to an Odyssey – Compendium Release

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 […]

Legion That Was – Interview with Moan Inc.

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 […]

Legion That Was Turns 1!

I have a decent track record on this blog for missing important anniversaries and milestones, or at least letting them whoosh by before remembering them, but this time round I’m fairly on the money for once. Today marks 365 days since Legion That Was debuted on Amazon KDP. My humble little tome has turned 1! […]

A Dark, Dark Day…

How… The fuck… Did it come to this? TikTok is a social media platform I’ve always believed was for Gen Zers, that no-one my age should ever be on, let alone posting content on. I can barely keep my official Facebook and Twitter accounts afloat, and I long swore that I’d never have anything to […]

Ode to an Odyssey – Have A Free Story!

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, […]

Aquilifer is Out!

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 […]

A New Year’s Update

Well. So much for getting back to blogging regularly. For real, the title of this post was originally going to be An Autumnal Update. But then, as time slunk by and the year turned, I begrudgingly retitled it to A Winter Update. But still, it isn’t quite 2022 yet, and I suppose that is something. […]

Hardback and Sides…

Yup, just when you think the hardback puns couldn’t get any worse. So this arrived in the post a few days ago, which rather feels like the final milestone on my first self-publishing journey. This is the third format the novel is now out in – the first two being eBook and paperback – and […]

No skin off my (hard)back…

God, for that pun alone I shouldn’t be allowed near a keyboard. So. I’ve been balancing the last few weeks post-book launch by getting some more marketing done (which is hard work, but kind of easier now I actually have a product out there), as well as making some more detailed notes about Book II, […]
