I’m awed and humbled by the kind words of fellow authors for my upcoming novel. My ego is the size of Wales right now! “Full of dark intrigues, wonderfully layered characters, and a dazzling plot that twists and turns in satisfying ways, this book is masterfully written and just bloody fantastic to read.” —Sebastien de […]
Read more "Praise For The Keep Within!"The story of No Other, Gene Clark’s searingly beautiful album terrifies me. Gene Clark sobered up, toiled hard and opened his D-minor heart to the world and the world of 1974 didn’t want it. In fact the record company removed it from their catalogue entirely and it was only after Clark’s sad death in the […]

Read more "Happy birthday Bowie!"This mysterious remote control has just appeared at work. Feel like this is the start of a Twilight Zone episode.
Read more "Hmm…"Copies of The Keep Within are with authors at the moment, so they can say nice things which can then be stuck on the cover. It’s a strange process but an immensely rewarding one. A booster shot to the ol’ ego, that’s for sure.

But it’ll only take someone charismatic and superficially reasonable to jump her grift and I’ll be spending my final years being mocked by midwits for believing Ovid wasn’t Stephanie Harris or Zack Snyder or whatever. And it’ll be my […]
Read more "History (increasingly) belongs to the bullshitters"Follow this link to see me read the start of a chapter of Pennyblade! I had the enormous pleasure of getting to read before a fairly sizeable audience at BristolCon. Bristolcon is a lively and very enjoyable one day event, surprisingly held in Bristol, UK. If you stick around after I read from Pennyblade (or […]
Read more "Pennyblade: A Reading At BristolCon plus the weirdest reviews I’ve had."The passing away of Kevin O’Neil has hit me more than I’d ever have thought it would. His comic art blew my little mind back when I was a kid. Today I was thinking how overlooked his design of Blitzspear (the living spacecraft of Nemesis The Warlock) is. It never makes any top ten of […]
Read more "Kevin O’Neil and Blitzspear"Rounding my visit to Matt’s off with an old school game of Heroquest. It’s… not quite as good as you remember it. But it improved with a bottle of wine.
