Well, we’re back! Happy New Year everyone!

I have got lots planned in terms of writing this year. Last year was a bit messy in more than one way. I am hoping that 2024 will turn out a little better. Nobody move or breathe!

Some of my writing plans are in genres other than horror and dark fantasy, though I of course have projects underway for that. So how was your New Year? Did you celebrate big time or have a quiet night in? We did the latter and I must be getting old, because I relished every second of it.

Let me know what your plans are for the New Year. Good luck!

If you are a living in the USA and are new to Audible, maybe looking for your first listen, why not give 'Hag's Breath: A Collection of Witchcraft and Wickedness' a try? Written by S P Oldham and narrated by Paula Hines, this is a collection of short, witchy tales for grown ups. Treat yourself or someone else to some dark magic this festive season.

Bumper Christmas 2023 Competition Time!

I enjoyed running those Random Giveaways. They were good fun - you are an inventive bunch! I am missing them. Time to run my bumper Christmas competitions I think.

To be in with a chance of winning a mystery bumper prize, simply answer the question: In my short Christmas ghost story 'Silent Night' which ghostly character haunts the pub?

All correct answers will be entered into a draw and two winners will be picked at random. Competition ends Midnight GMT December 15th. If winners do not come forward, runners up will be chosen. In no way associated with Meta. UK ONLY! Good luck!

Hint: A Jester.

'Silent Night' is a short Christmas story featured in 'Wakeful Children: A Collection of Horror and Supernatural Tales.' Available on Amazon and from all good book stores.
