I write books. They might not be your sort of thing but maybe you know someone who’d like them. They’re about middle-aged people falling in love.

I also work on other people’s books. The one on the right I am particularly proud of.

I post about writing, editing, and rocks, amongst other stuff.

Interrupting my book deadline silence to let you know about an online event I am doing in March, which will raise money for an excellent cause.

If you are interested in self-publishing, I will publish a book live on Amazon while you watch, and I'll explain the process while doing so.

Ollie, a middle-aged, bearded white man in a straw hat, floral shirt and sunglasses, sitting on the capstone of a mossy dolmen in the woods. The angle makes him look quite small, but to be fair the stone is large and the orthostats are tall, so the capstone is a long way off the ground and his little legs are dangling. This is a passage grave, in a wooded clearing. The trees crowd around it but it's quite light, a sunny afternoon.

End of Terra…

A favourite picture of Birling Gap as seen from the ever encroaching sea.
A photograph of the end of a terrace of houses as seen from the sea at Birling Gap. The camera is half submerged and the houses appear to be sinking into the sea, which they will do one day soon!

#TombTuesday 12 seconds of bright winter sun & a cold east wind across the ancient burial mound of Bryn Cader Faner in the Eryri/Snowdonia uplands

Quite a place to have been buried or scattered 4500 years ago 😮

I left my old job a couple of years ago. I’m getting by (just) but crikey, having done my tax return & seen how little I’m earning it was a shocker, it’s getting more & more difficult to earn money from illustration.

I have been out of action too so…I’ll get cracking!

Buy my art (FEBRUARY) 🙏🏻
A black pen in a crosshatch technique and black block printing ink applied with a roller on white paper illustration. The dark silhouetted shape of a woman in a black funeral dress stands at the foot of a bed in an Edwardian style room, she stares at a tired looking man under a heavy quilt. Moonlight shines into the room from behind the woman. Creepy and atmospheric.

Check my phone at 2.30 am, see email from the library app saying the next Reacher novel is available, download it, read for two hours, get up at 7.30, have a bath, continue reading, finish book at 10.30. This is why I don't buy them.

Ollie stands with his back to the camera, between two stones, arms raised. The stones are roughly rectangular and slightly taller than he is. The lean, but you can't see that from this angle. The gap between them aligns with a gap in the hills beyond. They are set in rough moorland with patches of reeds, and it's a cloudy moment on a sunny autumn day.

Happy Burns Night. A more important national day than St Andrew’s and it’s for a poet. My art isn’t very Scottish (people who don’t know me often guess I’m Irish for some reason) but there are occasional clues.
A very rough some would describe as “poor” sketch of a giant stag with a tiny head. Alan of the Glen is written next to it. Ghosts of Scottish churchyards shows a huge ghost dressed in tartan outside a rain swept church and graveyard THE LAST THiNG I REMEMBER BEFORE I LOST MY CLOTHES shows a highland cow with glowing eyes This one is called hashtag visit Scotland and is one of my most popular prints. It shows a highland cow on two legs with misty hills and a farmhouse behind her

Just got this as a FB memory from 2019.
A ‘Brexit deal’ leaflet paid for by Wetherspoons and posted through my door otd in 2019. It has pics of Theresa May, Starmer etc. and a header ‘Circle of Deceit’ with some guff about ‘metropolitan elites’ trying to ‘con’ the public over a deal with the EU.
