What a Year! Best of the Blog 2015

What a year! 2015 has been absolutely one of the best years of my life. I couldn’t even pin that sentiment down to one particular event, it’s just been a whole bunch of awesome piled one atop the other. I published seven books, travelled to South America, build 1/3 of a house, saw some incredible shows, and had some awesome times with friends and family.

I’m officially on holiday starting today, but I’ve got two books coming out before the end of the year (you can even pre-order The Woman in Black now, if you want to grab it for $0.99), so expect to see some booky content going up on the blog before then. I’ll take a week or two break in Jan, and then we’ll be BACK INTO IT. Expect to see more books, more metal, more travel, and more awesome shit in 2016.

Here’s my highlight reel for 2015. I’d love to hear what you got up to – shout out in the comments, or on Facebook!
