Just finished We Men of Ash and Shadow by @hollytinsl3y.bsky.social. What a book. I loved it. It does not hold anything back. It will stare you right in the eyes and kick you where it hurts. Raw and brutal at times, but also with a heart that keeps on beating. It had me hooked from the start.

I'm really excited to be taking part in this!

I've developed a writing blind spot, where I can no longer remember whether the sun rises in the east or the west. I therefore keep second guessing myself over which features on the fantasy map it should be appearing behind. This is very annoying.

Over on Reddit they're running their annual vote on readers' favourite self published fantasy novels. If you've enjoyed The Brotherhood of the Eagle or A Quiet Vengeance then this is a really good way to let other people know about them! www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co...

The Wolf Throne is finished! Well, the first draft is, anyway. Let's see what my agent thinks. Want to read it first? My newsletter subscribers have been reading this in short story instalments. Just head on over to my website (see my profile) if you're interested!

Sometimes things don't quite go to plan. It can be hard, when obstacles mean things don't turn out the way we wanted. But the important thing to remember, is that no matter how disappointed you might be, there are always BOOKS. #indieauthors #indiewriters #writingcommunity

I'm incredibly close to finishing The Wolf Throne in novel format. However, something isn't quite working in the final chapters. The goal today is to correct this and complete the first draft of the manuscript.

This was tremendous fun to narrate. It is just my jar of jam. If you like your fantasy grimdark, punchy and with something to actually say about real society, this audiobook is for you.

My latest Page Chewing review features the sci-fi audio drama Burnout written by Lewis Carter and produced by @storiesalt.bsky.social. It’s a highly entertaining show with a great setting and memorable characters - go check this one out! pagechewing.com/burnout-seas...

My plans for a trip out this afternoon with my family have just been cancelled. Looks like I have no choice other than to write instead!

After helping to move my daughter into her new first floor apartment this weekend I can confirm: A) I enjoy the thrill of hiring a van. B) A delivery trolley is a lifesaver. C) I have reached the age where I require kneepads (knees apparently now made of glass).
