Ruler’s Desire: A Review

I was given an ebook copy of this story by the author, David Staniforth in return for my review. I reviewed the first book in the series here. The book starts almost exactly where the previous one left off and doesn’t give you that much back story so really don’t read these out of order. [...]

New Stuff in the Sherdan World

The anthology I was part of recently has finally been made free on Amazon.co.uk, so all those kindle readers out there can grab a copy and check out the 30+ authors contained therein. In this collection I’ve got a short story about Sherdan and some of the people close to him, called Sherdan’s Road. It’s [...]

While Snowbound: A Review

This ia a romance novel by Anna J. McIntyre and don’t think it’s an erotica, it’s not. I decided to read and review this book after reading a one star review that left me curious about a book really being that bad. I can safely say it wasn’t. I loved it and didn’t put it [...]

My Writing Method

This blog was partially inspired by the blog of a friend. All writers seem to do things differently and it can take a while to find what’s best for each person sometimes so I thought I’d share how I write and see if it helps anyone else. And those who are curious about my working [...]

Covert Dreams: A Review

I picked up a free copy of this ebook on Amazon so I could review it. This is another book I felt privelidged to be able to review. I was hooked from the beginning and read it all in one gulp. The characters were really interesting and there were plenty of twists and turns to [...]

Humour, pen names and server moves

Things have been a bit hectic the last few days and my website and all my e-mail has been moving server so blogging didn’t happen much last week (sorry about that). It will now resume from today although this post is more an amalgamation of all sorts of things (I will hopefully blog again later [...]

Craft Extraordinaire

Normally in this scheduled blog post I share something I’m up to with you all but today I’d like to share somethings I’ve not made but purchased from some other amazing creative peeps. The first has been mentioned a few times on facebook and is one of the best purchases I think I’ve ever made, [...]

Few are Chosen: A Review

I was given a copy of this book by the author,M. T. McGuire,  in exchange for a review. As this book is a bit out there, let me post the blurb for it: The Pan of Hamgee isn’t paranoid. There must be some people in K’Barth who aren’t out to get him it’s just that, [...]

Ideas, Inspiration and The End of the World

At the moment I’m trying my best to get The Fire of Winter finished. I originally expected it to be about 100-110k long. Definitely the longest I’ve ever written but it just keeps getting longer, as you can see from the progress bar, I’m now estimating a good bit more. The biggest problem with a [...]

Wolverine: A Review

I know this isn’t going to be out at the cinema much longer but I’ve not reviewed a film in ages despite seeing quite a few (they’re on their way, honest) So the trailor for this film implied that wolverine was headed to Japan cause he was restless and didn’t quite know what he was [...]
