I've just finished writing the first draft of my most recent book, which has the working title "The Greatest Show Under the Earth".
A couple of years ago I wrote a poetry collection called "The Patchwork Carnival". I self-published it for Amazon Kindle, but it was too small for a paperback release. So this year I decided to write a short story or novella to accompany it. It kept getting bigger and bigger and has become a bit of a novel in its own right!
I wanted to fill in some of the details of the world I'd created in "The Patchwork Carnival", whilst introducing new ideas that prose could explain better than the original poetry.
I'm hoping to release "The Greatest Show Under the Earth" before the end of 2018. Stay tuned!

I find writer's block can strike when I'm feeling less inspired than normal, and I often get less inspired when I've not been reading a good immersive book. I take some time off my writing to read a good thriller, whilst letting my ideas percolate. A bit of a break can be really useful for dealing with writer's block.
I go into my methods for curing writer's block in more detail over on my blog. Could be worth a read!
