So, here’s probably the most disturbing thing you’ll see on the internet today…

I love Philip K Dick’s books, but every time he mentions a year in the future that is now in my past, I have to chuckle slightly.

Today's cartoon by Michael Ramirez for the Washington Post:

Totally 🖤🖤🖤

Exactly 💯

“Your peanut butter is dead…”

The hardest of Hercules’ labours…

As a grandparent, I see this transformation of my grandchildren as my main purpose in life...

Okay. So this might be where this particular social media trend ought to come screeching to a halt…

It’s the little things in life that bring me pleasure, such as my first Pokemon to reach maximum level ♥️🤘

This ♥️

Words of wisdom...

Okay, it's been a while in coming, but it's so damned worth it!!!! When I get back from the Lakes, I'll be dropping the cover reveal for the penultimate Sam Spallucci book, Dare The Dragon, over on Patreon and Substack, both for paid members. Let's just say, it's gonna be a doozy!!!!!!

“God does not bless any conflict.”

I have finally evolved into my spirit Pokemon.

And now, a word from our sponsor, just in case someone close to you did not live long and prosper…

Somewhere, in a back alley.

Well, the clouds have blown away and it’s going to be a glorious couple of days here in Morecambe. Come along and grab some books!!!

This.

A couple of days early for this, but I’m going to be rather busy at Morecambe Comic Con on Sunday. Come along and say hi!

Forsooth! Your mediaeval pun for the day!

Well, this made my day.

The perfect match…

Soooo… how many authors out there can relate to this??? 🤣🤣🤣

Boom!!!

Altogether now… “My Miltank brings all the boys to the yard…”

All set up and ready to go at Carlisle Comic Con!

Next platinum badge coming soon 😎 #pokemongo

A portrait of the writer doing his thing… “Thing” def: making a main character’s life hell…

A moody shot of the author out and about for no particular reason…

Hello all! My monthly newsletter is now live over on Substack. open.substack.com/pub/aschambe...

I absolutely adore my copy of Wuthering Heights. There’s something about reading a book that my father once read quite a few years before I was born. 😊

Something which always rankles me is when a history book or item of information states that a certain period was a time of “great prosperity” for an area. What it overlooks is that it was a time of great wealth-gathering for a select few when the masses lived in abject poverty and squalor…👀

No, Grammarly. My main character will definitely be “blobbing out” not “watching” trash on the television.

So, now I’m about a third of the way through Sam Spallucci: Dance of Death, it’s a good time to have a deep reread of what I’ve written so far to ensure it makes sense. I always find this makes later editing so much easier.

I love it when a scene just comes together nicely. I sat down this afternoon to bash out some dialogue between my paranormal investigator, Sam Spallucci, and a suspect in a murder, not knowing what the Dickens I should do. Then I saw the look on the suspect’s face and the dialogue flowed naturally.

The glorious Tower Bridge from my recent visit to London, this time rocking a noir vibe...

A tired but happy walker waiting for the bus home 😊 I’ve just had a cracking few days up in the lakes. Lots of walking; quite a bit of chilling. A bath will be required tonight!

Okay, so here’s a weird question… Has anyone reading this bought a shed load of my books this month? Loads of my titles seem to have sold in pairs. Hands up if it was you so I can send you a virtual hug ♥️

Good news, everyone! I've just updated my website with details about forthcoming signings at Carlisle, Morecambe and Blackpool! www.aschambers.co.uk/signings.html

Another snap from the gorgeous Holy Trinity Church in Skipton. I know there are two schools of thought about keeping statuary painted. Personally, I’m all for it, especially when it’s been completed so beautifully as here. ♥️
