A routine interlude… — It wasn’t a climb out of hell, it was a climb into heaven. That was important to remember because there was no hell, just the climb and then heaven. After all, look down, do you see hell? Fiery pits and damnation? Of course not. You see […]
After a long few weeks glacial progress is being made on two new books, sort of. I’m alternating between the two like an ADD toddler only with none of the focus or drive but out of chaos comes form. Sooner or later, probably. The first is a full length novel […]
There’s a reason why I don’t tend to write poetry but like drinking, smoking, leaving bills unread, forgetting to take the bins out, eating shitey food and never excercising I just can’t help myself no matter how bad the outcome. — The cracks are the wall the bricks aren’t. Prison or […]

One of these days novel – POW – straight to the moon! Just a brief update today to distract me from a brief distraction from work on my next novel (Codename: The Russian Dwarf Hamster Almanac (subject to change)). The brief distraction from the novel is either a long short story […]
I’d kind of forgotten that I’d done this interview. After all, me talking about myself could just as easily have been done in a moment of weakness at a London bus stop waiting for a night-time double decker to carry me home as on an actual, proper website. But for […]
Another day another obligatory plug for the splendiferous ‘Laikanist Times’ – enlightenment in novella form and still available for free here. Laikanist Times was an odd one.
