Very productive writing retreat in Newton Abbot. Now on Chapter 5 of book number 6.
Hoping to have something in print again by the end of 2024 or early 2025.
Suddenly motivated to write again! Got a great idea in my head which is just begging to be put down on paper. Watch this space…
Just a reminder that my E-book ‘The Hand of Fate’, the sequel to ‘The Fire Within’, is still available on Kindle from amazon.co.uk.
Doing some work on ‘Disconnected’ this afternoon…not overly happy with it, but have come up with a way of adding a bit of intrigue…
15000 words and counting.
Slow progress is better than no progress, right?
I am now nearly 14000 words into my current project, ‘Disconnected’.
Just reached the 10000 word mark on my current project, 'Disconnected'.

The Hand of Fate The Hand of Fate
Just got past the 8000 word mark of my current project, 'Disconnected'.
Just been looking back at a book idea that I first started several years ago but subsequently abandoned...and I have no idea why. The plot was progressing nicely and the dialogue was decent and taut. Think it’s definitely worth a revisit. There’s a strong possibility of me releasing more than one new book this year...
15000 words and counting...
Mark my words...I will have something finished and ready to go by the end of the first half of 2021.

If you’re looking for something scary to read, I’d like to remind you that ‘The Windows To The Soul’, by my alter-ego Richard Darkwood, is still available via amazon.co.uk and lulu.com.
The sequel to The Fire Within...coming soon (hopefully).
Close to the 10000 word mark. The story is developing well...
Writing is going well. Life is good.
Just passed the 6000 word mark on novel number five.
Doing some work on novel number five this evening, whilst listening to my 'Chillin'' playlist on Spotify. 😊
One thing this pandemic has done is freed me up with time (and no excuse not) to write. I’ve decided to revisit an old idea and I honestly can’t comprehend why I abandoned it...the premise is intriguing. Looking forward to seeing where the characters take me...
I’m a writer who hasn’t done much writing as of late. This needs to change.
I’ve read some cracking books this year. Making me want to forge ahead with my own writing...need to get motivated. I haven’t released a book/completed project since 2016...
Working on ‘Book 5’ whilst listening to my ‘Chillin’ playlist on Spotify. I could think of worse ways to spend a Monday evening...
After such a long period of demotivation, it feels so good to finally be writing again and moving forward. Just reached the 1000 word mark on my current project. Ok, so that’s not a huge amount in the grand scheme of things, but the foundations have been laid for what should prove to be an interesting idea...
Embarking on a new idea for a novella.
'The Beast Inside' is coming along nicely now. 3000 words and counting.
Doing some more work on ‘The Beast Inside’ this afternoon.
