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 […]

2022 in (not so much) retrospect…

Pahaha. As if I look at any of my life in retrospect. I’ve seen my fair share of retrospective and Top Ten Pics post from people sharing their 2022 highlights, and I’m not necessarily going to lean into that here, but I haven’t posted this since November and today felt like the opportune day for […]

Ode to an Audio Story!

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 […]

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 Bloggiversary and a Milestone

Another month, another rather longer absence than I expected. Hey now, I’m shambolic but at least I’m consistent. As Mr Eliot once said, April really can be the cruellest month sometimes. I was genuinely hoping that March and April would have a few more posts than my habitual one-a-month, but as is depressingly usual, sudden […]

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, […]

Stories Two, (Half-baked) Ideas Several

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 […]

A Thousand Hits, A Smattering of Hints

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 […]
