Reminiscence and Ranting Ramblings
I was awake until about 3am thinking and ranting to myself. While Kira decides what she’s going to do next, here is a diluted version of my ramblings: Somewhere around this time in 2007, I was leaving college with a shiny HNC. Unfortunately, that was the highest qualification the college…

Origins Of Friday The 13th
What are the origins of the Friday the 13th superstition? No one knows. More? I suppose it is a blog post. Okay, I’ll think of something… The Knights Templar “Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam” (Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy…

Dawn of the Jedi
Yes, I know the blog posts – when they actually come – are mostly about games and graphic novels at the moment, but it’s not going to become a habit. Probably. I’ve said before that I don’t really read graphic novels, and while this is still mostly true, there have…

Agents of SHIELD
…and other miscellaneous stuff not mentioned in the title.* I almost spelled miscellaneous without my browser’s help! Which would be mildly impressive if I weren’t supposed to be a writer. I haven’t written anything other than the book tour posts for quite a while, and I still can’t think of…

The Strong Female Controversy/International Crisis
Ok, I’m going to attempt to lure my thoughts out and onto digital paper. It may or may not work. And yes, it’s not quite a controversy, but it seems people here and there are trying to make it one. WARNING: I have no particularly direction for the post, so…

A&ME: 6 Hours With Death
Ok, the title may be ever so slightly exaggerated, but do you want to know what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? The former spends six hours sitting in A&E, shaking and throwing up. Ok, I may be a bit stoppable. I should point out now that…

Thrillers, Horrors and Supermen
My upcoming thriller has been rewritten and is now with beta readers. The feedback so far is very good. Although I think I may have made a wild guess in one post, I don’t have a release date yet. After I get it back from the proof readers, it will…
