About 48 working hours of edits over four days, and By Dawns Early Light is readable. Off to my beta readers to pop my little bubble of self adequecy

Chucked my first draft into an epub, uploaded it to my kindle and am ploughing through it as a reader for the first time. Not too bad so far. Bit wordy at times. Possibly use "fuck" as punctuation too often. But so far structure is good and it's made me laugh.

First draft of By Dawns Early Light completed, 3 days shy of a year since I started it. Now the hard part begins. With any luck it will be out around March./ April next year

I've spent this morning adding all of the old convention stock to the Horrific Tales website, many of the titles only £5 - including Hardcovers! We also have a special offer on print editions - 25% off at checkout with the coupon code autumn2025 until the end of the year. horrifictales.co.uk/shop/

Tonight's movie - the canine centipede

Today I am mostly trying to work while suffocating on puppy farts

Instead if what I originally had planned for the weekend (book stuff) I drove to Leicestershire and picked this little dude up. I have no regrets... well... maybe a couple

I feel ashamed of myself for even posting this and asking, but I need the help to take some of the stress and pressure away - me and my husband, and our three beautiful dogs, are hoping that you can help raise emergency funds to try and find a new house. gofund.me/061cd1b4

Phew. 2500 words down today. Some of them even in the correct order. That brings "By Dawn's Early Light" up to around 30k. Managed to slot in a character that won't be used again for probably two years but quietly sets up two other books. On a roll!

Ordered one of the High Moor T Shirts straight from the website to make sure everything worked smoothly and I have to say, I'm VERY impressed at how well they turned out. Very high.quality and printed straight onto the fabric rather than one of those grim plastic transfers.

Ever get the feeling you're being watched?

There is now a bunch of High Moor branded merchandise in the Horrific Tales Publishing webstore including canvas prints, framed pictures, clothing and drinks holders. More stuff will be added in the coming weeks. horrifictales.co.uk/product-cate...

Had an apologetic email from books.by earlier today. Still not entirely clear if this is just another chatbot or an actual person reaching out. Oddly enough, still no sign of my refund so I shall continue befouling all of their FB ads as and when I see them :)

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up about an Australian based POD company called Books.by that appear to be scammers. At first glance, they seemed to offer a good service - the ability to sell POD books direct from your own website, with them printing and fulfilling the orders.

Surprise… brand new massive folk horror dark fantasy, Thornhill, sneaking out today, 99p/99c perfect for fans of that sort of small town creeping horror of Stranger Things and the King himself. #newbook #ebooks #writingcommunity #horror #folkhorror #britishhorror www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F3WGHSWH

This is a new one on me. Apparently mouthbreathers think that the werewolves in High Moor are "woke libtards".

Burned out to hell. Was going to take myself away to an isolated cottage with no Internet and no people for a week. Then I discovered I could get a two bed apartment by Lake Garda with flights for a week for the se price as a hut in Wales... hmm... decisions decisions

My folk horror thriller Last Night of Freedom is 99p as part of a monthly Kindle Unlimited deal. It won't hit this price again for a long time so grab this horrible slice of the North while you can! mybook.to/LNOF

Thanks, Gabino! My most recent collection is a mix of #horror and #SciFi with a theme of everything MAYBE not really being there, or definitely there yet beyond recognition. Ghosts, cosmic crises, and even a short film script! Hopefully the perfect #FridayReads book!

Just hit 1300 ratings on Amazon.com with an average of 4.5 / 5. I don't do a lot of social media self promotion but felt that milestone was worth celebrating. High Moor continues to be the little werewolf novel that could :)

And today is the day… Blood Will Have Blood is unleashed on the world. It’s my favourite of my books by far, in my head I’ve always thought of it as my Edge of Darkness… #booksky #newrelease #ebooks #kindle #kindleunlimited #writingcommunity #thriller #amwriting www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DV4LLWLK

At this point, the best we can hope for is that the imminent collapse of America is a wake up call to the rest of the world. An object lesson as to where the lies of people like Farage lead. And the start of a movement to string those people up by their nutsacks rather than let them near power

Re-reading The Wolf's Hour. Largely because it was a formative read, along with The Wolfen that heavily influenced my ideas on what lycanthropy should be. Also really fancied reading about nazis getting torn apart by werewolves for some reason. IDKY

Hey folks we bring you news of a great new Anthology that needs your help!! Twisting Turning Timeshifts, HERitage Volume 2 An Exciting Anthology! Now on Kickstarter gnofhorror.com/twisting-tur...

2073 is not a movie. It's one of the most frightening documentaries you will ever watch, made up of real life news footage and interviews, loosely wrapped in a sci-fi package.

Watching a film called 2073 and its got a huge chunk about 15 minutes in made up of news reports showing the rise of populism and its chilling. As is a tv news report near showing chairwoman Trump entering her 30th year in power. Usure whether the movie is any good, but its certainly current

Dear Call of Duty. Stop sneaking your weird random game modes onto my playlist. I'm just gonna quit out the second I realise you've done it.

And here it is, as promised. The cover for my next novel, By Dawn's Early Light - Jack Carlton Book 2. Out late 2025.

Cover reveal incoming tomorrow...

Have to say, I quite like this review of Night Bleeds Into Dawn. Rather a succinct and accurate summary

@tcparker.bsky.social I saw this and thought of you

I can't thank you enough for purchasing RED INSIDE yesterday. And for the many shares. I achieved my lowest ranking in the Kindle Store EVER -- 557! And hey....it's still on sale! Grab it at an 83% discount while you can! Love you guys. I appreciate you more than you know. 💚

Wow. Star Trek Section 31 is bad. Like embarrassingly bad. Possibly the worst thing in the Star Trek universe ever made. And that takes some doing.
