Thanks, Gabino.

I'd love everyone to consider preordering my novel, Caliope Street. I think this is the best work I've ever done, and I can't wait to get it into people's hands.

is my debut selling well? I’m told it’s steady. obvious joke aside, I’m thrilled to see the ratings and review numbers this far on Goodreads. “..stands out as the most original ghost story I’ve ever enjoyed…” -GRR / WTDCD is the spooky season book you didn’t know you needed. Thx @gabino.bsky.social

I don't normally do this, but I've been burning the candle at both ends.

Other half had a major op earlier this year and now I'm in hospital for an investigation.

Regardless of what's wrong, I need rest, but I've had little work this year.

I'd appreciate if anyone is able to help out.

October is the month to read folk horror of the quiet kind.

Harrowfield isn't just available to purchase via mybook.to/Harrowfield, it's also on Kindle Unlimited. And if you've read it, I'd love it if you leave a review. ❤

Tucked away between a host of larger graves in Pere Lachaise cemetery, I came across this simple one - with a feather.
And see who I was shadowed by...

If a book allows you a reprieve for just a moment from world chaos, crack that spine and fall into the pages. Here’s a few writers that might take your mind to other places… @craigclevenger.bsky.social
