I hope you’re all well and enjoying life. June. What the actual hell! Really?! I apologise for my absence recently. What would Vinny say? Usually, with Vinny, it’s one of my childhood sayings. So, here’s a blast from my past. “Soz about it.” The truth is, I’ve been ‘proper-busy’ working on the screenplay – more […]

I hope everyone is doing OK after the crazy year it’s been. This year has been full-on in so many ways. For me, lockdown life hasn’t been all that different to my usual acts of solitude. Most authors are part-time hermits anyway – you have to be, to get a book done. My partner and […]

Hot off the press For those who are new here, a quick bit of history. I began my writing life as an independently published author. I had a day job and although writing was my passion (and secret dream job) I didn’t want to put pressure on myself to make money. I just wanted to […]

For some reason, I thought it was a good idea to knock the hell out of my house at the same time as writing a book. Two tonnes of rubble, a load of supportive steel and a new kitchen later, every surface of the house is covered in a thin layer of dust. It’s going […]

As promised normal service is resuming slowly… For anyone new here, I lost my dog recently and it’s taken a while to get back into things. On that note, a massive thank you (and hug) to all the lovely people who emailed me about Alfie. Seriously, you lot are amazing and it really surprised me […]

What’s New? Apologies for the short break in communication. I do have a decent excuse, well two actually.

It’s February already? What? Did I miss a meeting? Actually, before I start. Thanks to all you nice folks who emailed to make sure I wasn’t; A: Giving up writing (no chance) B: Curled up in a ball on the floor wailing, ‘Why did I choose time travel? Why?!’ C: Reading my 1 star reviews – I get […]

First off, thanks for all your emails of support and the awesome reviews of Downstream Book 2. They mean a lot and I read them all. I’ve had some consistent questions too, so thought I would shed some light on my plans. It’s Q&A time 

If you had told the thirteen-year-old version of me (BMX and Sony Walkman – think Stranger Things) that one day I would be able to store tons of music on a tiny device I would have laughed in your face. That was the iPod and it was just the beginning… I wouldn’t have been able to […]
