Before you get stuck into this article, I am aware that there are a lot of people in the world who’d kill to be in my position. This isn’t a ‘woe is me’ plea for sympathy — this is an article born out of frustration and, frankly, it’s an opportunity to vent about the fucked-up […]
My Twentieth Title, and Where Next
In April 2016, I started writing my first novel, The ‘86 Fix. The only motivation for writing that novel was to put a tick on a bucket list and prove to myself that I could do it. However, nine years and nineteen novels on, I’m now a full-time author. A happy accident, some might say. […]
2025 and The Circle of Life
Seeing as it’s a new year, I thought it would be the ideal opportunity to provide a quick update on my progress with my latest book, The Fourth Clause. As many of you will be aware, I had a few issues with my creative flow in the last quarter of 2024, and that’s primarily the […]
The Best/Worst Job in The World… and an Apology
Whenever I meet someone and they ask what I do for a living, my reply is almost always met with a positive response: “That’s so cool,” or “What a wonderful way to earn a living.” Occasionally, someone will say, “You’re so lucky to be able to do a job you love.” To that, I smile […]
A Quick Q&A About Writing For a Living
A college student recently contacted me to ask if I’d help with part of her course. In short, she had to select her ideal career and then ask five questions to someone within that industry. The student in question wants to be a full-time author, and as her questions are quite interesting, I thought I’d […]
A Heads-Up – New Year, New Pricing
I recently ran a reader poll on social media, asking you (my lovely readers) if I should hike the price of my ebooks from £2.99 to £3.99 – 85% of you said I should. I would add that I haven’t increased the price of my books in about five years and like everyone, I’ve been […]
Live Event – Meet The Time Travellers
I’m delighted to confirm that on Saturday 14th October (2023), I’ll be taking part in live event in Birmingham, called Meet The Time Travellers. Alongside my fellow time travel authors, Jason Ayres, Adrian Cousins, and Adam Eccles, I’ll be discussing my books, characters, writing, and of course, time travel. The three-hour event will include a […]
2022/2023 News Update
There’s clearly something wrong with the space-time continuum because it seems like only five minutes ago that we were complaining about the summer heat. Now, it’s chuffing cold, and Noddy Holder is haunting my dreams. 2022 really has flown by. On the writing front, I was hoping to publish three books in 2022, but I […]
The Spring 2022 ‘Double Denim’ Update
It seems only five minutes ago we were tucking into mince pies and drunkenly bumbling through Auld Lang Syne, but the Daffodils sprouting up in the garden suggest spring is now very much upon us. I’ve just hit the publish button on my thirteenth novel, The Strange Appeal of Dougie Neil, and now that’s out […]
An Ode to Kenneth
Last year I decided I no longer wanted to work with a publishing company for my audiobooks. That meant I’d have to take responsibility for all new releases – finding a narrator, managing the script, dealing with revisions, and publishing the finished audiobook. After several months of hard work, the first of my self-managed audiobooks […]
