Hi.

Hope you're enjoying your day and it's not as dark and soggy as every day this year seems to have been here! Fingers crossed for some better weather soon.

The weather has stopped me from playing with my other passion (flying gliders), so I've been doing lots of writing. Book 3 is now well advanced and will be called 'Ælf-fire'.

I've also been writing more shorter tales about the Parallel Realm for my newsletter members. If you'd like to get access to these for free just sign up for my newsletter here.

You'll get immediate access to a short story called 'The Artefact' in which Drew and Traggheim investigate some odd goings-on in suburban Edinburgh and Traggheim introduces Drew to Betsy, his monstrous vehicle.

Best wishes and stay dry, wherever you are!

With 'Wyrm-galdr' published and getting a good response I'm now starting work on book 3 in the 'Parallel Realm' series, as well as some shorter pieces that fit between the books.

Have a great Xmas and New Year.

The last few days have been pretty hectic for me - the launch of 'Wyrm-galdr', with all the associated social media has kept me pretty busy.

The new book continues the story of Drew's journey within the Parallel Realm of Edinburgh and introduces some new and vibrant characters, some particularly repulsive new creatures and of course some humour and warmth.

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who has bought a copy and to those who have already left a review. As always, if you're able to leave a review (or a rating) here and on Amazon that would be wonderful. Indie bookselling is, of course, driven by reviews and it's so helpful for me to read what people think, positive or otherwise.

Incidentally, if you haven't signed up for my newsletter hop over to my website and you'll find occasional bits of extra content dropping into your inbox.

Well, I'm gobsmacked and delighted!

An incredible 1,736 people signed up for my giveaway of digital copies of 'Touchpaper' in the U.S. Thank you so much!

Sadly Goodreads set a maximum of 50 free copies, so for those who missed out we're reducing the price of the ebook version on Amazon.com to just 99c

You only have seven days before it reverts to the standard price, so be quick!

Viktorija Blazheska has written a beautiful review of Touchpaper on Reedsy Discovery.

Check it out - she has succeeded in recognising and describing exactly what I was trying to achieve with this book and her review is an entertaining read in itself.
