Cutting thru the Country “… to places where they lie in wait. No one believes us, so no one helps. We are alone, scared, and holding your Mum’s hand at night won’t keep you safe, not anymore, and it turns out that your Dad is afraid of the big bad wolf because the big badContinue reading “I’m tired. We’re running from things that can’t be outrun …”

I Forget How Much We Have Lost
Lauren stayed in all day and loved reading alone. Okay, she was avoiding a crow, one blacker than ink, trailing midnight beneath its feathered wings. The third of ten great albums or E.P.s Lauren would have loved, in no particular order. ‘Dead Pony,’ raged across the Republic Stage at Leeds this year, shredding the vocals,Continue reading “I Forget How Much We Have Lost”

… of my life. You better not be late to this party, Lauren and Jake are depending on you. The second of ten great albums or E.P.s I discovered this year and Lauren would have loved. They are in no particular order in case you were wondering. ‘Everybody Needs a Hero,’ twists and turns, goes placesContinue reading “… the Best Part …”
Music Was Once …
… such a large part of my life. Lauren has her nails out for the battle, that’s for sure, even though the vinyl black varnish may be chipped, the nails split, and the skin raw beneath. Lauren wasn’t born a fighter. The fact she became one was all the Red Marsh King’s doing. As wasContinue reading “Music Was Once …”

Hiding Away
A ghost wind unsettles the windows and rattles the doors. Here I am, working on Book Two, late into the night, and far away from home.

Finally …
Florence were simply the sound of our souls. I find the time to catch up on iPlayer with Florence + The Machine at the BBC Proms. Lauren, would love it, except … the Red Marsh King has different ideas for her. All that’s left to do is howl. The saints can’t help any of usContinue reading “Finally …”

Hard @ Work?
Songs of a Lost World by the Cure. How good is this album? I sit listening on repeat, trying to write the second (hopefully good) draft of book two, and all I can think is, Lauren would have loved this album. Maybe she was right. Robert Smith has lived the life she’s living. The titleContinue reading “Hard @ Work?”
