Just an update on the process of re-editing all the old stories – so far two have been done. The Tomb of the Tagosa Kings and The Adventures of Ray the Robot have now had a go over trying to fix any errors that fell through the cracks previous times. I also gave The Adventures [...]

Another Review

Received my first review on Amazon for The Pit & The Merchant’s Legacy pairing of short stories since it went up on there for free. Come out of the blue unexpected – and was given 5/5 stars. Hopefully that’ll help stir some more interest – and helps me get on to write the next short [...]

Over on Book Brouhaha, a site dedicated to the short story, The Pit got reviewed, receiving 4/5 stars, which is high praise indeed given most short stories reviewed there seem to get a lower rating.

I received an email the other day from Amazon stating that they were going to price match one of my works – in this case The Pit & The Merchant’s Legacy, a collection of the first two fantasy short stories revolving around Nhaqosa the Minotaur. Given it is up currently for free on Smashwords, they [...]

I’ve been doing some planning on the future of The Chronicles of the White Bull collection of stories and have come up with a bit of a outline. In all, including the four stories written so far, there are going to be ten in total. The next four will be written and released in pairs, [...]
Yes, I Am A Pulp Writer

I have written two novels of what I like to think as serious fantasy, and have plans for more, but I have come to the realisation that at the moment I am a pulp writer – and I like it. Those big, epic, world changing bookstopper fantasy series – they aren’t me. It was hard [...]
I am currently updating the Pure Escapism page, which means for the moment there are some broken links. Try not to trip over them as I work on getting it all completed.

Professor Halir Ashford. Historian, Explorer and Adventurer. One of the favourite characters I’ve written so far. And a character who really shouldn’t have existed beyond a minor mention. It happens from time to time; characters take on a life of their own and demand a bigger say in things. His story starts back with a [...]

I’m not going to look back at my resolutions for last year – I know that most of them never got done, which is why I normally don’t bother. It is a good time, however, to look back over 2010 and to look forward to 2011. 2010 was a year of missed opportunities, both writing [...]
