Hello I forgot a submission deadline
Back in June I was lucky enough to get three 100-word stories published in Black Hare Press’s ‘WORLDS’ edition of their Dark Drabbles anthologies. Seeing as that was such fun I thought I’d have another go with their next Dark Drabbles edition: ‘APOCOLYPSE’. I actually prepared two different 100-word stories, though the first probably didn’t…
Guest Apperance on Radio Westeros’ Trivia Episode
Good morning everybody and I hope you are doing well on this eve of the weekend. Just a quick note today, last week I was very, very lucky and asked to make a quick guest appearance on Radio Westeros for one of their superb trivia bonus episodes. Being a lover of trivia and, needless to…
WORLDS: A Dark Drabbles Anthology now available!
A very good morning to you all! Some of you may remember a couple of months ago that I had finally had some of my very own fiction writing accepted for publication in an Anthology of 100-word stories based around dark tales of deep space. This week, excitingly, the book released and I finally became,…
Dream achievement unlocked! Guest appearance on History of Westeros live stream
This past Wednesday I was incredibly lucky to guest on History of Westeros’ live book-to-show stream about Season 8, Episode 4 ‘The Last of the Starks’ of Game of Thrones. I very much doubt I need to explain how prominent History of Westeros is within the ASOIAF fandom, so suffice to say I was honoured to…
How Episode 4 made me excited about a Iron Throne focused ending instead of a White Walker one
I have a deep love for episode 3, Season 8 of Game of Thrones ‘The Long Night’. The episode was incredibly divisive, but that did not dull its brilliance to me. However. When Arya shanked the Night King, resulting in he and his other popsicle buddies shattering into the night air, I could not help…
Everything is ending- Am I Dying?
Man, I feel like this already? TNT color commentator and former Indiana Pacers legend Reggie Miller often says the following whilst being an incredibly annoying pundit: “Father Time is undefeated.” I’ve never questioned this phrase. It seems rather obviously true. I just didn’t realise the Father would be coming for me so soon.…
That blog thing…or, what I’ve been upto (part two)
Welcome back. Did you miss me? You know I missed you. Anyways, you might remember the blog post a couple of days ago where, amongst other things, I spoke about finding motivation in writing again, revisiting an old short story, and the sheer love I have for the Name of the Wind now that I…
That blog thing I’ve been promising. Or…what I’ve been up to (Part 1)
I really only want two things from you. Firstly, that you are like me. And secondly, that you are not. I want you to be like me, in that you also drum up the very best of intentions, and never meet their goals. Because let me be frank: this is an update about promised things…
Behind the Trees Bonus Episode: I finally guested on a podcast!
Wow. That title sounds arrogant doesn’t it? What type of idiot wrote that? Oh yeah. This one. Unintended arrogance aside, it is true! The good folk of The Podcast That Drinks And Knows Things invited me over to join their latest episode last night. Sorry to disappoint arrogance lovers, but the ‘finally’ in…
Manu Ginobili: A Career of Passion
I feel a bit sick actually This was my internal thought at about 10.30 AM this morning. Roughly five minutes before delivering an hour-long presentation to our entire staff. Public speaking can often make people feel sick. But for me it was something else. I had just read a Whatsapp message that contained two things:…
