We've got this selfie thing absolutely nailed. Had a great evening talking publishing, audiobooks and favourite authors with @rjbayley.bsky.social and @dbrook.bsky.social last night. I need a beard...

My review of The Scroungers by @tdevens.bsky.social, narrated by @rjbayley.bsky.social. I had a lot of fun with this audiobook!

I'm on a weekend writing retreat at Gladstone's Library in Wales. It's an amazing place to stay, with minimal distractions, as long as you don't get lost amid the library shelves! The plan is to work on my new novel, The Silent Division.

I had a great time catching up with @rjbayley.bsky.social at Church restaurant in Sheffield over lunch. Excellent vegan food served in a fun, relaxed venue, although the panna cotta presented in the style of a baby's head was mildly disturbing 😄

In a disturbing development, I've found the text of the paperback version of A Time of Dread by @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social is too small for my aging eyes 😞 especially late at night. Fortunately, I have the larger font of the hardback to fall back on! Getting old 😂

Heidelberg was another highlight on our final day. I definitely left Germany wanting to return and explore some more! 3/3

The whole region is stunning, and the scale of landscape is huge. Lovely historic towns like Villingen-Schwennigen sit amongst rolling valleys nestled in the forest. One of my favourite pictures is the sunset over the lake at the memorably named Titisee 2/3

My trip to Germany last weekend proved to be one of the best things I did in 2025, so I wanted to share some more of the highlights. We chose the perfect weekend for the trip, which showed off the amazing autumnal colours of the Black Forest near Triberg 1/3

I'm leaving Germany this evening after a brilliant trip. It was great to catch up with my fellow writers and friends @kerosero.bsky.social & @llmacrae.bsky.social!

After a busy week I'm having a change of scene to break things up so I'm not stuck in the house all day. I'm looking at artwork, map commissions and some more reviews for @spotlightindie.bsky.social today.

I've just started listening to The Scroungers by Thomas J Devens, narrated by the talented @rjbayley.bsky.social. I'm already drawn in and immersed in this gritty fantasy world.

I review the second season of The Magnus Archives, distributed by @rustyquill.com, for Page Chewing. This podcast is a must for horror fans and really finds its feet in this series.

There's nothing wrong with my home working setup but sometimes a change of scene is helpful. This morning I'm working on reviews and I have a new blog post to finish.

Apparently Tina - the Tina Turner Musical was the entertainment I didn't know I needed last night. A tremendous show performed by an amazingly talented cast at the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield 👏👏👏

My newsletter subscribers have been exclusively reading my latest fantasy novel, ‘The Wolf Throne’, in instalments with each issue. In September Ingioy is offered help in 'A Test of the Spirit' from an unexpected source – but is this an opportunity or a trap?

I've found myself binging the final quarter of The Magnus Archives Season Two by @rustyquill.com this weekend. I didn't think they'd be able to top Season One but they proved me wrong on that score! Review to follow.
