The road winds through the bleak landscape, disappearing over the horizon. The rain is relentless. The wind, a hand at your throat. There are times this feels less a walk and more like a sojourn. What am I looking for? Easy. An answer to the question why Lauren and her family run? How likely isContinue reading “The Road Lesser Travelled …”

If You Go Down the Woods …
I take a break from the storm of Lauren and Jake’s lives, and face instead, the storm raging outside. Buffeted by sheets of rain and a wind, part friend, part foe, I go looking for inspiration. Or at least something to brush the cobwebs from my head. Three and a half thousand words later, andContinue reading “If You Go Down the Woods …”
So It Begins …
Finally, I’ve found the perfect place to hole-up and finish the second book. After a weekend of walking on moors American backpackers should be wary of, watching five horror movies, almost back-to-back, reading Clive Barker where pretty much everything is hell bound, my iPod shuffles through score upon score from Stephen King movies — MichaelContinue reading “So It Begins …”

You know, when we wake up to that post apocalyptic dystopia we love reading so much about, I hope we notice. My greatest fearContinue reading “Back To The Real Work”
When Did Christmas Get So Complicated?
Well, I guess for Lauren, that was all down to the Red Marsh King … Trying to write, edit, create post content, art and animations for ads, whilst at the same time bringing my past life to an end, and still find time to buy presents, write Christmas cards, decorate the house and generally sortContinue reading “When Did Christmas Get So Complicated?”
Dead Lines
In the life before, the time past … … back when I did something I thought I was good at, something I knew how to do, I was pretty good with deadlines. Okay, I didn’t meet every one, but my time to completion and my responsiveness to requests were reasonable considering how busy I wasContinue reading “Dead Lines”
Day Three
