EMBRACE OF THE SPIDER QUEEN and a Dwarven novel

Greetings once more. Excited to announce that my fantasy/horror story 'Embrace of the Spider Queen' will be included in the anthology 'Beautiful Darkness' from Dragon Soul Press, due for release around Halloween. It is a distant sequel to 'Solyn the Scavenger' [All Dark Places 2] and 'Solyn the Slayer' [All Dark Places 3] set decades later and following a different perspective. I have also just finished the first draft of a novel that takes places just north of the very setting in which the three stories mentioned above take place, but on the other side of the obsidian wall. A subterranean dwarven story. This project got interrupted by another book I'm writing (which was finished but then started getting expanded after a beta read - still some chapters to be written there) so it's good to see it done and, as a discovery writer, finally know the plot. That's how it works for we gardener/pantser types. The first draft is what we use as our out...

2023 YEAR IN REVIEW

Firstly Happy New Year!!! I'll be trying to sleep while everyone else is partying because I have a weekend day job. So that'll be a challenge. But here's my Year in review. I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but I've been busy writing, which I hope buys me some credibility. 2023 Year in Review. Been a busy year for writing, which is odd, because this year I've had a full time day job working a fortnightly 36 hours in 3 days then 48 in 4, but generally this gives me 3 and 4 day weekends in which to write, which is nice to be doing with a default income. Of course, working over the weekends has also brutally murdered my social life, so no distractions there either. Some of these anthologies have two stories in them from me, one has ten flash fiction pieces and another five, slightly balanced out by one story being serialised into 3 issues of Stygian Lepus. But 30 short stories (2-20k) and 15 flash fiction published all in all. I've also been worki...

A MAN CALLED BOY - Release Day

It's here... A MAN CALLED BOY, my first novel set in my fantasy world is officially out and available to the public. Please pick up a copy: https://mybook.to/ManCalledBoy and if you enjoy it, which I hope you do, give it a rating and review to boost its presence. I'm working hard to complete other stories and novels, and would like to write a sequel to this one. Tell your friends, tell your enemies, bother strangers on trains, stand on top of a milk crate in a public place and shout about it. Buy it as a christmas present, birthday present, easter, halloween, bank holiday, etc. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it. Fantasy, Speculative Fiction, Adventure, Sword and Sorcery, Indian fantasy, Persian fantasy, Assassin, tribe, magic, etc.
