I don't know if it's the same for all you other writers in the northern hemisphere, but February always seems to be my best writing month. 26k words done now. Can't wait to get the first draft completed.

Hit 18k words on my next short novel. The structure of the chapters is quite specific so having them all mapped out in advance to quite a level of detail has massively helped put all the puzzle pieces of the overall mystery together. I love this part of the writing process.

My time-travel horror novella THE SAPLING METHOD is currently FREE on Kindle.

Imagine having dinner with not just one of your future selves, but two. Be careful though. Sharing information, and tampering with time, means time may try to stop you. Things could get nasty.

Book Review : Murder Inferno by Stephen Winter - Huw Langridge When I was younger, watching someone play a computer game stretched as far as waiting for them to hand over the controller so you could have a go. Then, multiplayer games meant you could both play at ...

MURDER INFERNO by Stephen Winter @spwinter.bsky.social is a class act. Here's my review:

Does anyone else miss the mass-market paperback format? I was just flicking through some at a second-hand stall. I'd love to reissue some of my books in that size. It would be very fitting for THE TOLWORTH BEACON and THE TRAIN SET. #BookSky

I made a Spotify playlist to share ten inspirational tracks that have influenced my writing. I'll be updating it regularly, and I'd be thrilled if you added it to your collection. The first track (Healer) got me started with writing THE TOLWORTH BEACON, after 2 years of planning.

DARK BLOOM by Molly Macabre @mollymacabre.bsky.social is a wonderful book with exquisite world-building, a big heart, and action rich with sensory beats.

I'm sorry to say that I have barely sold any copies of HOODWINK'S FOLLY so I've decided to drop the price to 99p. I read somewhere that it's never about the price. Maybe that's true but perhaps my retro cover isn't helping.

Book review: Time's Ellipse by Frasier Armitage - Huw Langridge TIME’S ELLIPSE by Frasier Armitage is one hell of a page-turner. Armitage has crafted a very readable, at times funny and tragic, propulsive tale front-loaded with intrigue. I was drawn in quickly. Wi...
