So you’re that kinda writer who has to have a little music in the background. To you silence is as scary and troublesome as a blank page. You’ve listened to classical music, jazz, film and video game scores, anything that fills the quiet but doesn’t seize your attention (Typically this means no lyrics). But of […]
Read more "My Obscure Background Music For Writing (And You Can Too!!!)"Having to take pictures of my dumb ol’ self for an upcoming thing (plus my old author photos are, well, old). This involved taping my iPhone to various walls of my flat. By the end of the day I was sick of my own face but here’s some results…

If you’re using the word ‘History’ whilst going on about alien conspiracies or Atlantis or some claptrap then surely that’s a clear case of false advertising or misrepresentation of goods and services. And I say ‘should’ because those guys have spent the last […]
Read more "Will someone please sue The History Channel already!"Just plugging away at a new novel. My method has altered of late. Usually I plan extensively but this time I’m mostly jumping in and seeing what happens. That makes for an intense but fun experience. We’ll see how things pan out.
