Thunder became my ear worm music back in the 90s and I fell under their spell as a result...

My life is weird & I dog sit sometimes. And I firmly believe the outdoors, a dog, a crisp autumn morning and good music (Biffy Clyro) is one of the best combos in the world.
Hope you have fun today too...

Not to shabby this place. Shame about the result.

Good morning world. Outdoors, Bruce Springsteen and some company = a good start to the day..

Sorry to hear your sad news David. Lost our Fred at a grand age of 13 a few years ago, it's incredible how much they become a part of your life.

“Epic fantasy at its best…”

“A fantastic read, full of snappy dialogue and emotional resonance.”

"Honestly it's a breath of fresh air in fantasy. Highly recommend."

Writing has not been a priority for most of this year. But relistening to 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' by VE Schwab is having a profound affect on me. It's now firmly my favourite book ever and is making me yearn to write again.
Next week I will restart.. #inspiration

Yesterday was fun. Today is about setting a realistic deadline for completion of the first draft of 'Rise of the Witch Queen'.
I want to get it out this year. It's 90%plotted, the ending needs some work, although I know the final scene. This concept artwork might wet your appetite.. #booksky #wip

Secret revealed. It went down well.

Life gets in the way of stuff sometimes & has been the case recently.

However, out next week - "The Law of Mischief" is a genre-blending anthology featuring 27 original short stories from an international cohort of authors.

Magic has rules, but mischief was made to bend them.

Possibly the perfect birthday weekend..

Slightly later than planned.
I've finished plotting 'Rise of the Witch Queen'.
Will start writing tomorrow.
Quite excited...

Enjoyed the heat and hustle of London yesterday as did Child 1&2. I think if I can finish outlining 'Rise of the Witch Queen' today I'll start writing it properly tomorrow. I'm rising early each day so it feels like time to start again. Draft cover below to tease you.. 😉 #booksky #writingWIP #writer
