I thought for this post I'd mix things up a little bit and rather than talking books, I'd talk films. Well, hypothetical films anyway. A couple of recent conversations got me thinking. It started out discussing how I visulise my characters. From there, it moved on to whether I saw certain actors playing specific characters …
Welcome back to another Open Book Blog Hop! Things got a little away from me last week, so I took an impromptu break. This week's question for us to ponder is "If you could choose one author, living or dead, to be your beta partner, who would it be and why?" And remember to pay …
Another week, another Open Book Blog Hop! I am getting quite into this series now! The topic for this week is adverts. And more specifically the best and worst ones in my opinion. And remember to pay a visit to my fellow writers to see what they have come up with. You can find their …
Welcome back to my third post in the Open Book Blog Hop series. This week we are talking about favourite plot twists - either those written by ourselves or ones we have come across in other books. And remember to pay a visit to my fellow writers to see what they have come up with. …

I've been a lot quieter on here than I planned or hoped to be lately, but things have been pretty crazy of late. Some of you may have heard my little book Chasing Shadows released to the world on the 1st of April. I could not be happier to see it out in the world …
Some of you may recognise the title of this post. That'll be because I pilfered it straight from the cover of a book by one of my favourite authors. That would be On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King. This will become a bit more relevant further on into this piece. Now …
Time for another update on progress as we round the corner onto the home straight now. Two big things have happened lately. If you've been following my Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages you'll see I have been sharing out little teasers of the book cover. Yes, that's right - the book cover design is fully …
