It’s been a while since I’ve written anything that I’ve been truly happy with. I’ve started projects but never gotten even half way through before discarding them as not working out. To me writing is all about enjoyment, entertainment and if I can’t entertain myself, then how can I hope to entertain the reader? I…

New lease of life
For most of my life I have had to wear glasses due to bad eyesight, I developed short sightedness early on when I was at school, probably around the age of six or seven, it’s so long ago I can’t remember how old I was actually. In the last few years I developed cataracts on…
Finding that spark
Hollywood is in a situation where the money men are in control and they are going with the safe option. They look at percentages rather than content. That is why almost every movie being churned out is either a sequel or a reboot. Nothing new has come through their doors in over a decade and…
The evil that men do.
Politics today has been called by the media and commentators, the cult of personality and to some extent, they are correct. Some of the followers of some of our leaders do indeed display cultish behaviour. I think it goes far deeper than that though. I think it taps into the true feelings of these followers…
Is this it?
A question I find aking myself is, is this it? Is this all there is? Is this the end? I’ve been writing in some form or another for most of my life. At first it was a way to pass the time adding art to my stories and my love of comic books. Then I…
I just want to write Pt 3
The idea of being a writer was interesting to me. Being an introvert, the idea of being able to walk into a book shop and see the books I’d written displayed proudly on shelves and being able to walk through completely anonymous was more than appealing, it was something I eventually strove towards. I wrote…
I just want to write part 2
Publishing has undergone a massive shift in the last few decades and it’s not always been good. In fact getting your work out has never been easier and yet getting it read is virtually impossible. That’s not at all cryptic, the publishing industry at one time was the home of the elite. Writers were held…
New title coming soon.
When a new book is about to be published one of the things I look forward to most is the cover art. My publisher is about to publish Resurrection the fifth book in the Col Sec series. I’ve seen the cover for this book and it’s awesome and I can’t wait for you to see…
Writers block
Since I started writing I’ve had writers block a few times and each time I have found a way through it. This time though, it is crippling. Every other time I’ve experienced this type of debilitating block to creativity I have found a way through by switching topics, starting something new or simply just writing…
Moving in the right direction
As a full time writer the hardest part of the process for me has always been how to market said work. I’m sure other writers have the same feeling toward this as I do, that it is a task best left to the experts. I first learned how hard it is when I first started…
