I write high-concept British Urban Fantasy that warps the familiar into the fantastical.
My standalone debut, The Terminus Of All Things, is a mind-bending urban portal fantasy set in the chaotic, dystopian world of Endland, a mirror version of England.

It's launch day for my new dark urban fantasy Curious Physiologies, so I decided to go somewhere the polar opposite to celebrate. Nice portentous sky at dawn though!

I'm now so close to publishing my new book that I've reached that stage of the to-do list where fascinating things like "check Nielsen title data" and "make sure BookVault are listed as distributor" live. What a rush.

I cannot say how much I agree with everything in Russ's substack, despite being vaguely aware of Ed Davey knocking down comedy foam walls.
Oh, and buy his books, especially his novels, because he's an indie author and (unlike his brilliant political satire) he actually gets royalties from them!

Jim Radcliffe pissed me off, so I wrote this about the inconvenient truth of migration.
tl:dr - no, just fucking read it. Some basic mathematics - you know, COUNTING THINGS - might make you reconsider, you stupid twats.

Lots of you have taken advantage of this limited-time deal, but it's an ebook, so I can't sell out! Plenty for everyone.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 643: It may be tempting to include song lyrics in your work. (And why not? Stephen King does it all the time.) But beware; the rights to even a line of a song can run into the thousands of pounds- and the publisher will expect YOU to pay for them…

Something incredible just happened. I actually planned a chapter. Not 'made a few notes'. Not 'had a firm idea where it was heading'. Actual plan, written down.

There are almost 9 billion people in the world and, incredibly, most of them have never read my urban portal fantasy, The Terminus Of All Things. If any of those 9 million minus several hundred live in the UK or USA, the ebook is currently on crazy 0.99 offer at Amazon.

I watch the Winter Olympics significantly for the peaceful pretty vibe. The screech of drones going 80 mph downhill after a skier makes it feel like a modern war zone.

As much as I mourn the loss of the 13 stream BBC coverage of the Olympics, there's something to be said for just trusting their editorial decisions for the main stream and going with the flow. I don't feel like I'm missing anything. (Yes, I know there's another on iplayer, but haven't felt the need)

Although most indie authors rely on Amazon to flog our books, nothing beats holding the physical copies that you sell direct. Today I got to unpack Curious Physiologies and it feels great!

What a shocker. I await the inevitable 'whatabouttery' as antivaxxers attempt to discredit the study.
Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

I seem to get caught by this every time. Set up a release date for a paperback through KDP. Go to upload my final manuscript for approval. KDP chucks an error saying the ISBN is already in use (yeah, by THAT paperback) and so I can't schedule and the only option is to go live right now.
