  • Redemption. The word itself is entangled in its own ambiguous identity. What is it, and is it truly different from atonement? From justice? From vengeance? Is it something to strive for or something granted by those we have wronged? As such, is it something that is achieved, or something that is bestowed, and does it…

  • There’s a moment in every series when things begin to change irrevocably. Sometimes towards greatness, sometimes towards chaos, sometimes both. Episode 5 is when it hits the fan, so to speak, when the architecture of the year as a whole begins to reveal itself. Bloodier and more brutal, this episode sees the introduction of a…

  • By eck, we get around a bit, don’t we? This week’s blog post is all about a quick introduction to the thinking behind the universe. Not the real one, my one – and some of the inspiration I’ve drawn upon to craft it. Very mild spoilers ahead (nothing world-ending) but I thought I would forewarn.…

  • I wake in the morning and sometimes I feel grey. I’ll start a conversation in the middle, having skipped seventeen different plot twists in between. I’ll overthink an interaction with a human being to the point of simply being unable to do it. My point, and trust me I do have one, is that I…

  • Here we go, another book, another cover! Only this time around it’s not ‘another book in the wall’. Before the reveal, I’ll share a little bit about the process that’s gone into getting here, especially for those who’ve been with me since the beginning. The Long Road to Now Over the years the Heroes &…

  • It’s that time again—the last Friday of the month! The newest “episode” (short story/novella) of my YA supernatural series ’til the End of the World is now available to read and download for free in its beta form. If you’re following this monthly serial, Episode 4 drops today with new twists, darker stakes, and a…

  • Well, what a few months that’s been. We’re already a quarter of the way through 2026, and despite the world seeming determined to set itself on fire, we’re still here. And I’m still plodding away at my keyboard like a deranged monkey attempting to write Shakespeare. I only ever really liked Macbeth anyway. But there’s…

  • ’til the End of the World returns today! Yes, everyone, the British YA Supernatural short-story/novella series continues into it’s third story “Fallout”. After the events of the two part opening stories, the world is changing. Mark, Ricky and now Sara are together preparing to fight the forces of evil – but aren’t exactly aligned on…

  • Warning: Today is about trauma and awareness. Not to be glib, but if just the mention of that is upsetting, don’t read on. I’m not going to discuss specific traumas or graphic detail in any way – but I am going to talk about what a bastard it is – and isn’t. So consider yourself…

  • What is Love? What is love? (Baby don’t hurt me, no mo’ – sorry, couldn’t help myself). It is a fundamental question of human existence, and not one that anyone really knows. As abstract a concept as disappointment, and as real as the wind. And I’m not about to go all religious here either and…
