Copies of UNQUIET GUESTS are here! And, just in time, this unboxing video has materialised in the ether. If you preordered a copy, it should be with you soon - they're in some bookshops already too. Remember to post pics on social media - I want to see your books!

Keep writing. It’s sound advice. Remember that I was querying for almost 3 years with no dice. In that time, I wrote 4 novels and sought new representation with 3. The agency rejected the first one, so I sent another MS right away and got signed.

It’s good to have material. So keep writing! 📚💙

False Prophey by @davebjeffery.bsky.social has hit the world 😱

Just to make people aware that there has been a slight delay on the option to purchase the paperback edition of False Prophet. This is being addressed by the publisher, but in the meantime it is still available on Kindle Unlimited and eBook.

Thank you for your patience!

My contributor copy for THIS WAY LIES MADNESS arrived. I could cry! It's beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much to @leemurraywriter.bsky.social and @davebjeffery.bsky.social. "Bangs" is perhaps the most personal short story I've ever written. Honored to have it featured in this anthology.

My story WHERE BIRDS GO TO DIE is also in this. Chuffed to be amongst such great writers. Seek it out if Mystery and Magic is your sort of thing.

So, I woke up to this rather nice news about my MOOD SWINGS screenplay this morning. It may not have won but I’m pretty chuffed it garnered recognition in a notoriously tough genre contest.
