This will be a brief post as I have just returned from a weekend of celebrating my mother’s birthday (it was a significant one). I was able to properly spoil her. Highlights On the first anniversary of my debut’s release, I started the day with an interview. Livia J. Elliot and I discussed themes andContinue reading “September 2024 – In Short”

August 2024 – 1st Book Birthday
On 5 September, Far Removed will be 1 year old (the paperback released early on 29/08, so it is already 1). Future blog posts will return to other indie writing and art topics, but I wanted to take this moment to thank everyone who has been involved in spreading the word about this dark fantasy.Continue reading “August 2024 – 1st Book Birthday”
June 2024 – Audiobook Appreciation
This blog post is about audiobooks and approaching interviewers. I took inspiration from something that happened this month, and it seemed a relevant subject. On the 15th, I did an interview with Matt of Beard of Darkness Book Reviews. It came out at a good time; apparently, June is Audiobook Appreciation month. Every month isContinue reading “June 2024 – Audiobook Appreciation”

February – Time for a Nap
Regular readers may recall that I work as a freelance illustrator (in the educational line). This month was the deadline for a contract I have been working on for several months.

November 2023 – Knights in Glazed Armour
My gallery may yet make a comeback; I recently appointed a noble defender for my illustrations. But more on that (and award nominations) later. Edit 29/11/23: My Kofi page is up! One of the strange things about having Christmas and New Year in summer, is that all the exciting events occur over 2-3 months. ThenContinue reading “November 2023 – Knights in Glazed Armour”
Wake me up when September (2023) ends
Today I am sharing a short post. I’ve done a lot of writing and promoting this month with the release of my debut novel; it is fun, but also quite tiring! I have been fortunate to enjoy a week of leave before I go into a busy October (more client work, and a bit lessContinue reading “Wake me up when September (2023) ends”
