I often see author profiles that talk about being lifelong storytellers and coming up with wild ideas since they were kids. It'd be nice to say that of me, but that's not how it went.
When I was about eighteen a friend asked me, out of the blue, to help write some stories for a comic book he was working on and, while it never came to anything, trying it made me realise this was something I enjoyed.

I then spent many years intermittently trying to write books and short stories, none of which were particularly good and most of which were pretty half-hearted.

In 2014 I decided to have a proper go of it and wrote a massive tome that was far too long and bulky to publish, but which at least had the makings of a decent book. I hacked at it, abandon

I can't call it bad but I wasn't really drawn into it either. Perhaps it's because there was no real feel for the world or a complex plot to get my teeth into, and we only had a single POV, which I often find limiting. It was (presumably by design) j ...more

An incredible page-turner. For a book that contains so much technical detail (most of which, I'll admit, parted my hair somewhat), it didn't feel like the story suffered for it. This is a classic, slow-burn spy thriller, brilliantly grounded and well ...more

I read this with something of a bias as I’ve always loved the Vampire Counts and have a classic Von Carstein army (complete with Storm of Chaos Sylvanian militia!) gathering dust somewhere in the house. Even accounting for this bias, I thought this

One of the better episodes in the Gotrek and Felix saga, I think. The slow build up of tension to the Siege of Praag made me think of Zulu or the Battle of Helm's Deep. Really well done, with just the right mix of action, conspiracy, and suspense. I ...more

This book was mix for me - oddly, I found some of the more detailed sections focusing on the archaeology very slow going. Also, a map or series of maps would have been a great help for referencing.
That said, overall it was very interesting, not just

Much like the previous Spike book, this was 95% wacky, lighthearted fun, with enough moments of real poignancy to remind you that war isn't funny, and that Spike knows this. He does a great job of focusing on the good times of his military service wi ...more
