Lately, I’ve been reading some really interesting stuff in regards to the pros and cons of indie publishing versus traditional publishing. It’s becoming increasingly obvious – to me at least – that indie publishing is the way forward. The advantages of such an approach seem to massively outweigh the disadvantages. I’m not going to go…
There are many things that inspire me to write. I’ve spoken about some of them before in other blog posts. My reading history, television and films, and my influences growing up. The one I haven’t spoken about yet, though, is music. Writing the ‘Ballad of the Songbird’ has been very much inspired by the music…
So, these updates are becoming more tri-weekly at the moment, but that’s okay. I don’t want to overwhelm you with news! I have some fun stuff to talk about on this update – things are moving forward apace! Genuinely exciting times. But, before I get into all that… A couple of new blog posts went…
Those who are eagle-eyed may have noticed that I altered my Twitter profile this past week. I changed both my header and my little avatar picture.

I love seeing how an author shapes the environment around their characters. When done right, it can be spellbinding to immerse…

This year is FLYING by! I can’t believe that it’s the end of July already. What’s more, it’s been over two weeks since my last update. So much for my bi-weekly schedule! But it’s been a VERY busy couple of weeks for me on all fronts. Work has been keeping me busy busy, and then…
