I have news!
What a crazy end to the year it has been! My first novel, THE BOOK AND THE BLADE, was originally slated for release in September of this year but of course that didn't happen for a myriad of reasons. The new publication date is the 28th February, 2023, which bizarrely means my "debut" novel will … Continue reading I have news!
Almost there…
For anyone keeping track, Reindeer Games has just been uploaded for publication on Amazon. This is where we currently stand... I've added it for the lowest price I can across all markets but I've also enrolled the silly bloody thing in Kindle Select, which means it is exclusive to Amazon. More importantly, this means I … Continue reading Almost there…
Reindeer Games
Nothing says Happy Christmas quite like a novella about Santa's reindeers being brutally murdered, right? Well, if that's in anyway up your street then have I got the story for you... maybe? Reindeer Games will be published a few days before Christmas this year. Honest truth, I got a little bored of waiting for my … Continue reading Reindeer Games

In Terms of Terms This is it!
MY BOOK COMES OUT THIS TERM! *to be clear... it isn't. As a teacher by day (and a barely functioning man-child by night) much of my life is controlled by bells, schedules and timetables. Even now, during the school holidays, I have a Pavlovian response to sniff out the nearest coffee at 8:15, 10:55 and … Continue reading In Terms of Terms This is it!
Smile like you mean it
I'm broke, but I'm happy. I'm poor, but I'm kind. I'm not short, but I'm not particularly healthy either. For a few weeks now I've been living on a prayer and trying my hardest to keep the faith as I am not ready to go down in a blaze of glory just yet. I ain't … Continue reading Smile like you mean it
All Hail Emperor Bezos and Bow Down Before the Amazon Overlords!
There is no getting around it. Very soon I will have to get on my knees like everyone else in the world and beg for scraps at the feet of Emperor Bezos. As much as I would love The Book and the Blade to be 100% indie... only available in small shops with quirky cafes … Continue reading All Hail Emperor Bezos and Bow Down Before the Amazon Overlords!
I will eviscerate you in fiction!
Every pimple, every character flaw. I was naked for a day; you will be naked for eternity.Geoffrey Chaucer (sort of) One of the fun things about writing a book you think pretty much no one will read is putting all your friends and family in there and ending their lives in new and imaginative ways. Not … Continue reading I will eviscerate you in fiction!
