2021 off to a good start (apart from the virus, of course).
Welcome to 2021. COVID-19 still has the world under siege, but things have got off to a good start for me writing wise. Firstly, I have some publication news. The latest episode of
The Night's End Podcast
featuring The Timeless Dance was released on New Year's Day as planned and seems to be doing well. It's a highly atmospheric dramatization of the story, so definitely worth checking out even if you've already read the print version. They've also come up with a great promotional image... as you can see...

You can find this episode together with all their others HERE. Hours of quality horror that will chill you to the bone even more than the icy grip of another winter.
If you want to read The Timeless Dance in print, it's still available on the Youth Imagination website HERE. Also still available online is my poem Jungle Secrets courtesy of Utopia Science Fiction . Click here to check it out.
As if that wasn't enough, Issue 2 of Frost Zone Zine , featuring my story The Apparition has also recently been released. It's packed full of excellent fiction and poetry, so would be a great choice if you're on the lookout for your next read. This one is available at no charge HERE.
Frost Zone Zine is a fledgling publication, so if you read and enjoy it, please consider supporting them by spreading the word, posting a review, etc.
I've also had some screenwriting success recently. A screenplay I wrote for the pilot episode of an unproduced television show called Unascended won an award for Best Dialogues in the Global International Film Festival, which was a great honour. This is the screenplay's blurb...
Soon afterwards, my screenplay for a short science fiction film called H2-Oh was included in the FFTG Awards Program 2020 Slate and two others made it to the finals of the International Moving Film Festival. These are all very small steps on the journey to getting something on screen, but they are steps nonetheless, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed 🤞.
Next up fantasy and comedy are set to collide in my second Tale of Sir Degrevaunt with accompanying artwork by the great Mauro Vargas (best known now for his work on comic miniseries Star Wars: Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir ). The story, which is called The Cat's Tale, will be appearing in Issue 4 of TdotSpec's Speculative North magazine, which should be going to press imminently. More news on this as soon as I have it.
That's it for now.

Who better to keep the ghost population in check than one of their own? Meet Zara, the ghost of an English teenager who committed suicide in 1984. Unable to rest in peace, she has made it her death's work to intervene when other spirits go bump in the night. This is her story...
