So the publishing world was abuzz yesterday at an announcement of a partnership between Amazon and Alloy Entertainment (packager of YA novels like Gossip Girl and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants) to publish and promote fanfiction.

I skimmed the press release about the subject, as one is won...

Hol and I went out for a walk after dinner. I stated that I was determined to hear a thrush. Their haunting, piercing song is a crucial rite of spring for me. I have been away from home for a while, so missed their return. I heard one at a distance the other evening, but tonight we not only heard...

It’s one of those… it’s decision time…points in my career.

Writing is full of them. Many of these decisions suck. The ones I’m making right now aren’t fun, but they have to be made.

Namely… about Grimm & the FBI books.

I’m probably going to be putting the Grimm series to bed. When I have t...

So I’ve been studying manipulative people lately. And I’ve been studying them after having been completely taken in over the last several years by a few of them. You just assume all people are good and honest and it’s a shock and borderline offensive to think they aren’t, but the truth is some pe...

So here’s what a novelist tells a reader who wants to know which of her own books is her favorite. “A book is like a baby. A mom loves all her children equally.”

Right. . .

I’m here to tell you it’s not true. I did not love all my children equally. Oh, sure, total it up and they all come out even,...

Jack took up the stance that David had taught him and placed an arrow against the bow. Raising it up, he aimed the arrow over the wall but failed miserably as it bounced off the top of the battlements and spiraled back to the ground. He cursed angrily as David shook his head and lit another arrow... Read more of this blog post »

What I notice listing the books I've read since I don't know when is that my own writing is a product of these books, their style, their mood, even the images of their covers.

I've always believed, as the cliche says, that the devil is in the details. I love to seek out little known facts that can't be found in historical accounts, newspapers and non-fiction works. Whilst writing my book Tomaree I interviewed upwards of 100 elderly people on their experiences of living... Read more of this blog post »

Yesterday I finally saw The Cosmonaut, a crowd sourced and crowdfunded sci-fi film from Spain, and I was simply blown away. Beautiful, evocative, thought provoking and bold - that's how I like my sci-fi.

The Woolwich terror attack in south-east London is just another example of how easily vulnerable people can be radicalised by religious extremists. An attack like this is one reason why I wrote The Bomb On My Back. The way radicalisation brainwashes a person is truly frightening.

Hi,

I am crying so hard at the new NSC book 'The Hunt for Summer'.
Literally sobbing, I can't see the keyboard or the monitor and I wrote the bloomin' thing.
Crazy.

Anyway, Just letting you all know I have given it a release date for 7th June but I'm hoping to get it published earlier if I can.

A young British soldier walking in Woolwich London was cut down by two men wanting to be filmed, publicised and willing to die for their cause but in doing so take a life and traumatise a family and a community.
