  • Meet Juni

    This is Juni: She does not like long walks on beaches, but she does like romantic candlelight dinners, because it’s that much easier to vanish into the shadows. She also likes long, sharp knives. This portrait comes from the scene in Shadow of the Wraith, where Travis Archer goes to…

  • Updates and Peanuts

    Disclaimer: There are no peanuts involved in this post. I can’t think of much to write about, so I’ll just update y’all – to be momentarily American – on stuff and whatnot. First off, I am in Underground Book Review’s Self-Published Author Awards, and I joined late, so I have…

  • The Next Big Thing

    Well, I’ve been tagged in this blog tag thingy. I refuse to admit just how long it took me to work out just what was happening, and why I’d been tagged, and what I was meant to do about it. It involves answering questions about one’s current project. We then…

  • Kira…again

    Kira is now available on Amazon and Smashwords, for just 99c/75p! Kira is a steampunk short story/novella of just over 13,000 words. Kira’s town has so far survived the destruction wrought by the Government on so many others. But for how much longer? In the middle of a blistering desert,…

  • Kira

    Kira is the 23-year-old title character who takes us through twenty four hours of her life in my new steampunk short story. She lost her home and her family fifteen years ago to a brutal organisation known as the Government, and now etches out a meagre existence in another small…

  • Pawbonez

    I thought the z might make the clever word play better. I don’t think it worked. To update the previous post: The surgery on the dog’s paw was going to be €600 (I don’t like to think what it would have been had it been a remotely tricky or in-depth…

  • Pawbones

    Get it? It’s a play! A play on words! Sawb…oh never mind, it’s not very good. [angry-rant] My dog has a suspected metacarpal fracture, and needs surgery. She needs surgery because it’s two little toe things that are fractured, rather than just the one, and so if it’s put in…

  • 60% Celebratory Discount

    Well, I have now published Shadow of the Wraith on Smashwords (here). It hasn’t gone entirely smoothly, as I left out the simple words ‘Smashwords Edition’, meaning that it can’t yet be sent to places like B&N and Apple, etc. And because I’m not at home for a while, I’m…
