Breakfast & Bournemouth

This week has flown by in a valium induced haze as I struggled to recover from the horror of last Monday. Around 7pm, as the moon settled overhead, a pack of ravenous children broke into my garden....

Paper armour – far more useful than a chocolate teapot.

With The Final Crusade of Vran Hychax campaign weekend fast approaching, I spent this weekend getting my Grey Knights painted and ready for action. Initially, I’d allocated all of three hours for the...

My first cover.

Check this out: It’s the cover image for my long-short story ‘Beneath the Flesh’, which is out in January (I think). Rachel Doherty designed the image, and I think she’s done a great job, deploying her...

Something borrowed…

After scolding myself for once again failing to post regularly, I was almost certainly going to write a new blog entry. However, as it turns out, the folks over at blacklibrary.com have beaten me to...

In the absence of actual danger – please turn off your phone.

Don’t get stabbed.

Cinema, it’s the experience.

At long last, Flesh of Cretacia my first, real book is out. As is The Stromark Massacre, my first Flesh Tearers audio drama, and ‘Torturer’s Thirst’ a new Flesh Tearers short story. In light of all...

In loving memory.

I wouldn’t normally write a post this personal, but I’m terrible at grieving, so forgive me my indulgence. Today, we laid my gran to rest. She was my favourite person in all the world, and I attribute...

Signing my life away.

I remember January. It fell somewhere between the misery that was Christmas and now. March. I can’t believe it’s March. This means two things. One, I’m late with at least two writing projects. Two,...

Cineworld, again.

Ah, Cineworld my dear old friend. We meet again. If you’ve read my last post concerning this hallowed establishment of moviedom, you’ll know I frequent Cineworld often. Unless you somehow missed the...

Coffee. Ain’t nothing else like it.

Happy 2014. May it kick last year’s ass. Generally, at this time of year I’d write a post about how I wished I’d blogged more last year*. I’d go on to reassure you and myself, that I’ll totally be...

Signs of the times.

So it’s almost Halloween. Creepy things are afoot. There have been ill omens and dark portents. More worryingly, there’s been a whole spate of badly worded signs. Here are two that caught my attention:...

In defence of Scooter.

Scooter, the German dance group, who according to Wiki have sold over 30 million records, are awful. Terrible. In fact, if you choose to listen to them, you’ve no business having functioning ears and...

A Murderous Brew

I think the staff of my local Costa are trying to kill me. There can’t possibly be another explanation for their utter and total ineptitude. No, I refuse to believe any group of human beings can be as...

Just Plane Stupid

Before we get started, you need to take two things on faith. One, I can read. And two, I’m not a moron. Now then, that puts you exactly two steps ahead of the people running Heathrow airport. Having...
