The Spirit of Cricket
It’s been a while since I wrote about cricket on the blog. Heck, it’s been a while since I wrote anything on the blog. But the latest Men’s Ashes hullabaloo got me thinking, especially since it touches on some issues and themes I’m exploring in the next couple of Alice Henderson books. Those issues and […]

Cover Reveal: After Summer gets a makeover
I released my second book, After Summer, back in 2016, so it was ripe for an update and new covers. I’ve also updated the interiors and added a few pretty little title pages and chapter headings, which look amazing in print. But the most exciting news is that After Summer is the first book you can […]

I’m moving house! (And a book sale)
In two weeks, my wife and I, along with our two pooches, are moving from the little place we’ve called home for the last five years back to our hometown. We’ve been away for around 17 years, which just blows my mind. We’re looking forward to getting back to our friends and family, but we’re […]

Summer Crush is live!
I woke up to a bit of exciting news this morning. My second self-narrated short book, Summer Crush, has sold 2 copies on Findaway Voices, without any marketing. I mean, I haven’t even released the details to my reader groups yet, so that’s a sure sign that my tags and keywords are working (I think!). […]

Some book suggestions for Valentine’s Day
Confession: My wife and I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day. Sometimes we’ll go out for lunch or dinner, or maybe buy a card for each other, but mostly, we just get up in the morning and say “Happy Valentine’s Day” and that’s it. That’s not to say my wife and I aren’t romantics – we […]

Audiobook Update
Quick one this week with an update on my audiobook narrating journey. So far, I’ve taken a couple of short courses on audiobook narration and watched a TONNE of youtube videos from voice actors and narrators for tips and tricks. Then, as a practice run, I recorded and edited a short, short story I wrote […]

Driving Lessons
I turn 45 this year. It’s weird to even think about that age. I feel like it’s sort of an in-between age – not quite middle-aged (although technically it’s smack bang in the middle of a normal life expectancy for someone like me), not quite young anymore. I’m old enough to be going grey and […]

Australia Day
Why I no longer celebrate it. I was going to write a different post this week, but I watched a documentary that made me change my mind. This is something I’ve done for the last few years (or not done, really), without making a big deal of it, but I feel like now is the […]
