It is getting close to the end of February and it’s time for another quick update. I’ve been pretty quiet on here and haven’t written a new post in a while as I’ve had my nose to the grindstone. The copy edit for book 3 came in and it was two and a bit weeks ofContinue reading “Book 3 is away…”

February worklog
I thought I would do a quick post about what I’m up to at the moment on various things. So, book 2, Bloodmage, is completely done and dusted. My publisher, Orbit books, has just sent me the latest version of the cover and I think it looks really good. So that is all set toContinue reading “February worklog”
Wailing Heights
I can finally reveal a little bit more information about another of the secret writing projects I’ve been involved with. I recently had the pleasure of working with Outsider Games, on their latest project – Wailing Heights. It was a real challenge for me, bringing humour to the content. It was very different to whatContinue reading “Wailing Heights”
Looking back at 2015
This year has been a busy one, for me and for geeks in general. Next year looks as if it is going to be more of the same. By the time the new year bells ring out, a new Star Wars film will have been out for a couple of weeks and it will beContinue reading “Looking back at 2015”
Second Act
This month has been crazy busy. I’ve just moved house to a new area, am still neck deep in boxes, my job situation has kind of changed, so there’s been a lot of adjustments to make. And a lot of stress from the house move too. Looking in the mirror I definitely saw more whiteContinue reading “Second Act”

The questions went in some interesting and unexpected directions. Some of them also made me take a step back andContinue reading “Interview with me at SFF World”

Battlemage launch
Last week was the northern launch of Battlemage at Waterstones in Leeds, my local bookshop. It was a weird and wonderful night. Weird because I’ve gone to so many similar events in the past, sat in the audience, and listened to an author talk about their book and their world. So when I arrived andContinue reading “Battlemage launch”
The calm before the storm
Battlemage is officially published next week and at the moment I’m spending a fair bit of time reflecting. Not only looking ahead to what is about to happen with my first launch event at Waterstones in Leeds, and London the week after, but I’m also looking backwards into the past. I was going to writeContinue reading “The calm before the storm”

Details of times and dates of the launch in London will follow shortly. More details below and while the event is free, they ask that you give them a ring toContinue reading “An evening with local author…”
