I'd like to say the music flows along my neural pathways and sparks that inspiration into life. It feels more like the music does something inside my heart, though, and in turn, my heart pumps inspiration juice to my brain and that kick-starts the writing process. (less)

Influence

‘Stories ought to leave the reader with a great sense of strangeness and mystery, but never a feeling of frustration.’
Raymond Carver

As a writer, many different things influence me. When I talk about influence, I mean the things that affect or inspire my writing. Those things that shape how and what I write. Music and alcohol affect the way I write the most. I never edit my work when I am under t Read more of this blog post »

Orchard of Skeletons by Eli Wilde
"What a pleasant surprise this turned out to be. It took a bit to adapt to the writing which felt a little textbook like at the start. But the dialogue evolved with the characters and it became free-flowing and engaging.

I loved these characters, they" Read more of this review »

Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
"'Gideon the Ninth' was one of my favourite reads of 2025, and although it's still early in the year, I'm fairly certain the same will be true of its sequel for 2026. Despite its differences - or more likely because of them - Harrow the Ninth is equal" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Eli Wilde  (?)

“Maybe the flies knew we were leaving. Maybe they were happy for us.”
Eli Wilde, Orchard of Skeletons

“I saw something sticking out of Sloan’s leg after he fell. I didn’t know what it was and didn’t want to ask. Maybe I thought we were the same inside as we are on the outside, a bit like a carrot or something like that.”
Eli Wilde, Orchard of Skeletons

“I picked up a fallen branch and struck a tree with it. Apples fell from the tree. The rope around one of the skeletons gave way and it fell to the ground. It lay there, crumpled and bent in ridiculous angles. I wondered if the person who the skeleton used to live inside would be embarrassed if he or she could see themselves now. I looked around the area but didn’t see any ghosts. Why would I see a ghost? They didn’t exist. Still, I looked a second time.”
Eli Wilde, Orchard of Skeletons

Eli Wilde, Cruel

“I tried to write my own words. They were not like the words in the songs. My words were ugly. My words were wrong.”
Eli Wilde, Cruel

“The mirror looked at me, and hated what it saw.”
Michael F Simpson, Hypnagogia
