Helsing Mission 8 - The (Very) Scilly Isles - coming soon!

Life has a habit of getting in the way of writing. Eight-week old Cocker Spaniel puppies in particular. But I've finally begun making progress on the eighth installment of Brian's adventures. Expect it by the end of the month!

Cheers - Gaz.

Quotes by Gareth K. Pengelly (?)

“had enough of these calls. I don’t have and never will have PPI. So stop wasting your time.” The voice on the other end of the line laughed. “Good morning to you, too, Helsing.” It was Heimlich,”
― Gareth K. Pengelly, Just Try Not To Die

“But then, as a child it had never been vampires or banshees he’d had to be afraid of, but the bullying and taunts of other, more popular, children. Yakuza were pretty much the apex bullies of the lot. And no matter how powerful one might grow up to be, the learned fears of a child continued to haunt well into adulthood.”
― Gareth K. Pengelly, Land of the Rising Damp

“All zis talk of mothers. Soft, cushy lives, the lot of you. I never even knew my maman. She ran away before I was even born.”
