Old gods rampaging across the globe. A dead man’s breath on your neck. The end of the world in its many guises. Vengeful ghosts. The light at the end of the tunnel – if only you can crawl towards it.

All my books and short fiction are eager to meet you.

Books aren't expensive.

Writers are at the bottom of a large column of people making money off books.

We get screwed the most.

By the publishing industry and the fucking pirates.

You like books? Buy them, or go to the library.

Or there won't be any writers to make the art.

If I chuck out any of those cables, I will 100% need it the next day.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

New short story written. WAY too late in the year to sub a Christmas themed ghost story so it will have to wait until next year.

I've had to create a new FaceBook group for my S-Squad series due to the admin of the old one getting hacked.

The kid who tries to steal a guitar from Ray Charles in The Blues Brothers went on to pick up Bruce Willis in Die Hard.

Glad things worked out for him after Ray let him go with a warning shot.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

Johnson involved in a toxic, sexist, chaotic culture?

If only there had been signs before it turned out he was completely unsuited for the role of PM.
BREAKING: UK’s response to Covid was “too little too late”. Acting faster could have saved 23,000 lives in England according to the public inquiry.

Boris Johnson presided over a “toxic, sexist, chaotic culture” in No10, where rule-breaking seriously undermined public confidence.

Notes made for a new short story. I'm thinking something Christmassy and very unpleasant.

Just because I can.

It's been 25 years since I worked full time in retail. I dread to think how much more entitled, impatient, rude and abusive people have become to retail staff since then.
In these busiest shopping weeks of the year, with everyone under horrible pressure over money, job security etc, try to be nice to retail staff (who likely have unreasonable sales targets from HQ to make up for a lousy retail year). Far too many stressed customers will behave appallingly right now.

Always wondered what Dartmoor would look like after the apocalypse.
Dartmoor yesterday afternoon. Soggy, squelchy, shrouded, silent.
