So, over for another year. Book Two is complete. At least in draft form, and I am a little sad that this indulgence is over. Still a lot of work to do in the next six weeks, but I always love a good deadline. Here’s to THE CARRION ROAD and all of you being ableContinue reading “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye …”

Raising a Certain Hell …
I’ve watched nine Hellraiser movies, read ‘The Hellhound Heart’, and dipped into ‘The Books of Blood,’ all while Christopher Young’s 30th Anniversary Score has been on repeat in the background. I’ve done everything but solve the puzzle box of the toymaker, Lemarchand … It has been a dark horror retreat. And finally, I have suturedContinue reading “Raising a Certain Hell …”
The Road Lesser Travelled …
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 …

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 …”
Working on the Cover
I’ve put it off for too long. Procrastination. Avoidance. Call it what you will, but we all face it. The deadline for the second book is approaching and it’s about time I started designing the cover. Sometimes you can see an image forming in your head, step-by-step, emerging out of the creative darkness. When thatContinue reading “Working on the Cover”
The Injury of Hope
So I went and did it again. I entered my first novel in another competition. Glutton for punishment or eternal optimist? Am I a fool to blow the tiny marketing budget this way? Or is this a clever move, but only if I win? Am I donating to the not so needy or using opportunitiesContinue reading “The Injury of Hope”
Hello, Is There Anyone Out There?
After an unexpected silence and the terror of how quickly we all forget, here I am testing. One. Two. Three. Trying to remember how I did this website thingie, and the whole ‘posting’ malarky. Oh, of course, since I last played there have been updates. Improvements. And so I am totally confused. But here goes.Continue reading “Hello, Is There Anyone Out There?”
