In #Judgement , every single system has to work seamlessly with every other. Is that a strength, or a weakness?

Morning jobs all finished, time for me to settle down to an afternoon of writing - and for you to enjoy a shamelessly cute dog photo 😉

Homemade carrot soup and a cheeky quiche. Just right for a soon to be stormy day.

Don't normally like my writing space being used for storage, but today I'll let it pass ;)

I spent a lot of 2025 in an 18km long orbital habitat, fighting a secretive cult.

In April, 2026, I hope you'll join me there.

Not for the characters, but I kept this image by Ryan Shultz in mind as I wrote about the interior of the habitat - which is called ELLE4.
The cover artist starts work next month, so hopefully I can do a cover reveal at the end of Jan/early Feb

Veg prepped for tomorrow and Friday. Almost time for a well earned rest and an Xmas relax.

Wishing you all the very best over Christmas. (Sorry for the crap photo).

He's been sat staring at me like this for 5 minutes. It must be teatime.

One of the 'advantages' of being laid up in bed with flu, is I get some uninterrupted reading done (when I'm actually awake). Loving this one!

Meet Sheval Carsonn, a would-be viking living in an orbital habitat. What could possibly go wrong...

I'm trying to get back into the habit of always having a book at hand. In a quiet 5 minutes, rather than looking at my phone, I pick up the book and read. Boy, do I feel better for it.

Currently enjoying this book. I didn’t read the first trilogy so had some catching up to do, but it's really picking up the pace now.

I like to start my days with coffee and a crossword to get my brain working, then a dog walk to shake the words loose. I think today is going to be a good one 👍

Digging around in some old hard drives for website images and found this from my Photoshop fiddling days

There's something deeply mysterious about trees on misty days. My excuse is dog walking shakes the words loose... honest. #amwriting #writerslife
