So excited to share this one with you all.

Herakles – The (Liver-Eating) Eagle Has Landed Yes, this post is over a fortnight late. Nope, I cannot bring myself to care. Well, the moment has come. As you will have probably seen from my Instagram and abominable TikToks, both eBookles and P…

Might as well make it official with a blogpost.

Herakles – Cover Reveal Morning, peeps and creeps. I hope you had a Happy New Year and enjoyed your Twelve Days of Xmas. Nothing quite so uplifting as taking down your tree and lights… not. I refrained from posting …

Not often I get to share a new book cover online, so you betcha ass I'm going to milk it across multiple accounts.

Witness the (presumed) peak of my (so-called) authorial career in paperback and eBook formats, from 01.02.2024.

This novel has been my absolutest favouritest thing to write ever. Cannot wait to share this with you all.

Wrote story. Clicked camera.

The Carrion Rain (With An Autumnal Update Thrown In…) Hellooooooooo. I know. I know. My streak of surprisingly consistent small-form blogposts came to a crashing end, this summer, with a rather resounding 4-month absence since I finished the first dra…

Blog - The Return.

Herakles – ‘Ere We Go So I’ve been gone for a little while, but the absence was worth it. If you follow my social media, then you’ll have doubtless seen my rather sh*tty TikTok documenting the little milesto…

I've been waiting for this.

A milestone and a reward (across several screencaps).

Shadow of the Prow – An Easter Milestone Salvete, amici. This weekend I hit a rather special milestone on my wordcount, after a handful of weeks of thwarted but still decent progress. A big moment, fo sho. I’m not quite as jubilant …

This week I had to order a few more author copies of Legion, for... reasons.

Even two(ish) years since first holding this hardback in my hand, and a year(ish) since physically having a copy within easy grasp, the workmanship of this still takes my breath away.

Also, I can't believe I just praised Amazon for something. *Shudders*

2 years of the blog.

The Second Bloggiversary I’m only a day off this year. Last year it was over a fortnight, so I suppose that’s a partial improvement? The ironic thing is I actually did remember to post about it yesterday, only …

To celebrate the manuscript hitting 60k, I rustled up one of the longest blogpost I've ever done... and, in all honestly, one of the least pointless.

Dis be one for the Classicists and retelling junkies, definitely.

Shadow of the Prow – What I’m Reading Shadow is going quite well, recently. Suspiciously well, you might say. I’m closer to the end of Part II then the start of it, and Part II was probably the section I thought would be hardest …

Lmao what even is a 'rising creator'

My award-winning short story, Ode to an Odyssey, is now available as part of a free downloadable compendium from Lytham St Annes Classical Association!

Ode to an Odyssey – Compendium Release Hello all. Just a very brief post to kick off February with. Now the dust is settling on my Moan Inc. interview (which I hope you all enjoyed as much as I did), I have one other little announcement…

HNY, y'all # # #

2022 in (not so much) retrospect… Pahaha. As if I look at any of my life in retrospect. I’ve seen my fair share of retrospective and Top Ten Pics post from people sharing their 2022 highlights, and I’m not necessarily g…

My short story is now available on Spotify as an audio story!

Ode to an Audio Story! Wow, look at that. Two posts in one weekend. I’ve been sitting on this for a few weeks now without telling people, but now it’s finally here I’m excited to spill. Remember Ode to …

Dit-dit-dah.

NaNoWriMyArse After a few fairly constant blogposts, I may have had some of you worried. But rest assured, I am back once again with my sporadic, barely-once-a-month content. A return to form, indeed. A little w…

Wherein the hero freaks out three more Classical novelists with his fanboyism.

An Autumnal Update Another blogpost, another inexplicable gap in my life to account for. Once more, quite a bit more time elapsed this time round than I hoped for, and this time I don’t have a great deal to say…

Blührb!

Shadow of the Blurb Well. As I’m tired of saying whenever I blog about the hit count, that happened a lot sooner than I expected. The perils of sharing a post on my Facebook and Twitter together. And as promised…

Suitably tanned, all drama'd up and with a new book to write... we're back, bi***es.

Summer Update, Had me a blast… Hello hello, and back I come. I felt sorry to break a relatively decent streak of regular blogposts for yet another undefined hiatus, but this time I actually had a half-decent excuse for my absens…

Three posts in one month? You're honoured.

Tonight, I make up for two intense posts about my work by giving you one post about absolutely f***ing nothing.

How I spoil you all x

A Birthday Cough If we can take a brief moment to appreciate my mother’s baking skills – and my photography skills -before I rattle on with the post, that’d be grand. Just under a couple of weeks …

After another month or so of forgetting (once again) that my website exists, I do hereby resurface with a competition win, a pair of milestones I completely missed, and a rather shameless taster of things to come.

A Bloggiversary and a Milestone Another month, another rather longer absence than I expected. Hey now, I’m shambolic but at least I’m consistent. As Mr Eliot once said, April really can be the cruellest month sometime…

From March 19th-23rd, my latest dabbling - a 1500-word short story about Odysseus in the immediate aftermath of the Fall of Troy, will be FREE to download off Amazon!

A free story... what's not to love about that?
