  • Strange times we’re living in

    It’s hard to believe that just under two months ago 2020 felt like it was the best year ever (for me personally), everything was coming together and I was feeling so positive.. then all of this madness hit. It’s still so surreal that all of it is happening. Like most, the Corona virus has turned…

  • Heaven Sent now available online!

    My latest short story Heaven Sent is now available to read online over at Cultured Vultures! It’s a tale of two survivors attempting to get by in the middle of a zombie outbreak. Please give it a read and let me know what you think! In other news, the website is getting a bit of…

  • A great start to the year!

    I am pleased to say I have had a great start in 2020 so far! My new job as a Content Editor is going well and it’s so great to be able to write for a living, I’ve found it keeps me in the writing mood so the creative writing that I do on the…

  • Happy New Year!

    I can’t believe it is 2020 already! The past year seems to have gone so quickly. I managed to stick to a couple of last year’s resolutions; I did post more on my blog, though admittedly not as much as I had planned, I did submit more short stories and successfully had one published, and…

  • So that was Christmas

    Christmas this year seemed to be particularly good; there were no family squabbles, no tears from the kids and everyone seemed happy and grateful for what they received. One of my favourite gifts was a brand new netbook as my old one kept crashing, a real bugbear when you’re trying to do anything. I’ve never…

  • Birthday Update

    This post is a little bit late as it was my birthday last week, but I’ve been super busy until now. I received some lovely gifts from my friends and family, including these absolutely amazing Majima Goro badges made by my brilliant and very talented friend Kadi. You may remember from my last blog post…

  • Halloween update!

    We’ve just got back from a wonderful family holiday at Disneyland Paris, which was absolutely fabulous! It was my son’s first visit and he adored every moment of it. Visiting during the Halloween season was new for me too, it was great to see all the villains and decorations. I’ve been submitting a lot more…

  • This year has flown by!

    So, I’m not going to lie… this year has not been as productive as I had hoped. I’ve been doing a lot of coursework this past year and so it didn’t leave a lot of room for anything else. Fortunately, my course ends in just a few days and I’ll have more free time again!…

  • Feeling super motivated for February

    So February is here and I am feeling so motivated and positive about writing at the moment. Maybe working through The Artist’s Way really is working for me, who knows! I’m not going to question where my sudden influx of energy has come from, I’m just going to roll with it. I’ve started querying Vulpini…

  • January Update

    Ok so I haven’t been as productive as I could have been so far this month, most likely because I’ve been playing way too many games (sorry, not sorry). However, I saw these gorgeous fairy lights in Paperchase and anything wolf/fox related really makes me feel motivated to get some more writing done, and I…
