NaNoWriMo workshop 22 Oct @8am
In what’s become something of an annual tradition, I’ll be delivering a workshop on writing a successful NaNoWriMo novel at Milkwood tomorrow, 22 October at 8am SLT (that’s 4pm to any Brits out there).

Pokeprim, Civil War and Mr Copybot: Some novel ideas 2016
Can it really be that November and its annual writing contest – National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo, as those of us in the know and keen to benefit from a 50% discount in syllables refer to it) – is once again nearly upon us? Yes it can. Can it really be that I am […]

SIM (2016) by Huckleberry Hax
What if, one day, you woke up inside a virtual reality environment with no memory of your life before. How would you know if it was real? A man is in a house, in a square region of land which is walled off on three sides by impenetrable glass and on the fourth by a huge black barrier. […]

The retro Executive Desk from HHAX
It’s tough being an executive. All that keeping an eye on all those work-shy employees: it really takes a toll on your energy levels. Why, some days I even lack the enthusiasm for 4pm cocktails. Let HHAX do some of the heavy lifting of the job of intimidating your workforce with a desk that lets […]

Out this week: SIM
SIM, which I’ve been promising on and off for a few years now, has been pretty much done for several months. I’ve procrastinated a lot over releasing it because this is one of those projects I’ve been adding to and tweaking a lot since its first draft, never quite feeling that it’s completely and totally finished.

HHAX Desk Intercom
My building phase continues. Currently I’m in the process of replacing my public building with a fitted version of my six floor building. One of the floors is going to be a shared writing space – perhaps somewhere for NaNoWriMo novellers to hang out this November – which just happens to look like a 70s […]

Get ‘AFK, Awaiting’ for free
I’m drawing the AFK series to a close with a fifth and final novel, AFK, Awaiting. The book has been finished for a few months, now, and I’m grateful to the feedback I’ve had since from a small number of advance readers, in particular Caitlin Tobias and Zoe Parness (Zoe very helpfully pointed out that […]
