Blog postIt’s been a busy couple of weeks for me. Work has picked up for one thing—which always makes it difficult to find the time to post to the blog. But putting that aside, I’ve been spending every spare moment I’ve had working on two things.
I’ve been working quite hard on A Wounded Heart and my word count is now up over 40,000. I have a plan for the next twenty or thirty thousand words and those words are flowing better than they have in a long time. But, more importantly…Kissed by a Rose – -
Blog postI thought it might be worthwhile just posting a little update with where I’m at with the various projects I’m working on.
Works in Progress I have two books I’m still writing.
A Wounded Heart is the 3rd book of the Paul Robertson Saga and is currently about 35,000 words long, which I estimate is about 30% of the final book-lengthThe Big R-ohhh!-D Trip is a sequel to The Big Four Ohhh! and is about 7500 words long, which I estimate is about 30% done too (it’ll be a much shorter boo -
Blog postI want to draw your attention to this short passage from the epilogue to A Good Man…
“I went through a lot that first year at university. It changed me. So by the time we met, I was a different person than I was at the start of that year. I wasn’t a nice person when I got back from America. I hurt people that cared about me. I made some bad choices. And I got worse before I got better.” I chuckled. “Hey, maybe you might not have hated me so much the first time we met if things had bee -

Blog postI’ll be the first to admit that I’m always looking for ways to avoid doing some writing. Yeah, yeah, I know. But it’s not like this is my job or something. It’s a hobby. Always has been and unless something dramatic happens it always will be.
And as a hobby, the stuff ‘around’ the actual writing is something I find interesting just as much as the writing itself. And one of those things is word counts. At heart, I’m a stat hound. I love numbers, that’s why I work with them day in and d -
Blog postI’ve recently published two new paperback editions of my books on Amazon. Both The Slumber Party and The Big Four Ohhh! now have paperback editions in the 8×5 inch format.
They join A Good Man, A Tortured Soul and The Lies we Lead in having hard-copy editions. All three of these are in the slightly larger 9×6 inch format.
In addition, I’ve updated the short story Measuring Up with a new cover and internals, which include the story’s original Ruthie’s Club illustrat -
Blog postMy New Greenhouse So, I’m back from a short break with my family in beautiful Pembrokeshire, and I still have another week before I have to return to work. Naturally, Mrs Nobbs has a long list of jobs for me to do around the house, chief of which is to erect the greenhouse we bought from someone on Facebook at our little allotment.
That was a fun challenge in the first instance. When we went to pick up the thing, it had already been dismantled and while some of the components had bee -

Blog postSt David’s Cathedral, St David’s, Pembrokeshire, Wales I’ve been on holiday this week. I’ve come with my family to a truly lovely part of the world, Pembrokeshire in South Wales. We’re staying in a lovely little cottage on a working Small Holding (an exceedingly small farm) and it’s been a very pleasant week so far. Sadly, all good things must end, and we have just one day left before we drive home on Friday.
I debated whether to bring my laptop with me on this holiday or not. I’ve a -
Blog postI think it’s fair to say that the question I get asked most when readers are kind enough to contact me is, “When is the next Paul Robertson book coming out?”
And the answer that I consistently give is, “I honestly don’t know. I’ve sort of hit a wall and don’t know how to get past it. But it will come out. Eventually.”
So, I thought I really should do a proper update. Lay all the cards on the table, so to speak.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Paul and his stor -

Blog postSo…
I have a first draft of The Truths We Live. I think I’ve been able to find the balance that I spoke about a couple of days ago and I’m happy with where I’ve left Bobby & co for now.
And now the waiting game begins. With the story and characters still very much fresh in my mind, it’s probably a bad idea to being working on crafting this first draft into something publishable.
Because I think it’s fair to say that first drafts should never be published. They’ll b -
Blog postI know I’ve been relatively quiet on twitter and Facebook these past few years but that’s primarily because I’ve been tweeting under my legal identity. Writing about the appalling state of politics in the world doesn’t feel appropriate on my author site or accounts, even though it’s something I did regularly in the past.
Truth is that politics in both the UK and the US has been so toxic for the last five years or so that it makes a real difference. We seem to have gone from a society -
