Hi there Nitzan! Thanks so much for your very kind words - I'm so glad you enjoyed the book. And yes, what a cover!

The next novel is currently in the works, so it would be premature of me to say exactly when it'll be published just yet. It will also be a supernatural thriller, but in a different way to Sparks - and I'm afraid it's too early to say much more. But like a lot of my work, it will aim to make you feel afraid in your own home. Always a pleasure!

During the wait for Book Two, you might perhaps like to check out some of my previous short-form books, such as Beast In The Basement (novella), A Sincere Warning About The Entity In Your Home (novelette) or Auto Rewind (novelette) - all of which are on Amazon now! :)

I've no immediate plans for a sequel to Sparks, but who knows, there may well be more life in Jack in some other medium... *suspenseful music*

Thanks for these queries, sir!(less)

Thanks for asking this question - and for reading Sparks! I don't use any specifically-branded structure, but then again they're all based on much the same 'beginning, middle and end' principles. :) So while planning a story, I'm very much aware of the classic three-act structure, and pay special attention to the midpoint. As you may remember, Sparks is literally in two parts, and so is Ghoster, actually. So I end up with a four-act structure, with what amounts to a two-part second act, if that makes sense! Hope you have a good time with Ghoster, if you do check that one out. I consciously used more of a mystery thriller format for that one...(less)

Toxic: a short, twisted horror tale

Picture I first made this 1700-word short story available to my wonderful Patreon supporters back in March this year. Now, the time feels right to share the terrible tale more widely.

Hope you enjoy! If 'enjoy' is quite the right word...
