Blog postI’ve been asked a few times now where my various novels and short stories fit in with the wider timeline of the Westmouthshire Universe.
All of my shorts aside from one or two are part of the WMSU and I have a spreadsheet that I’ve been working on that has both a simple timeline in it and a more detailed year on year calendar (which isn’t complete).
I also have another spreadsheet which serves as a database of which characters appear in which stories and in what capacity, and -
Blog postI seem to do this a lot, don’t I? Apologise for my absence. But what are you going to do? Sue me? It’s not like you’re paying for this shit. And not many people are, so…
Hey, look at that, I used an emoji in a blog post. Thanks for the Emoji keyboard, Microsoft.
Seriously though, I started my Patreon back in September last year with great intentions. Then, as usual, life happens and the Patreon just kind of got forgotten. Which was fine actually, because no one had signed up a -

Blog postA couple of weeks ago I got followed on Twitter by a book review site. And as often happens, when I followed them back, I got an almost immediate DM from their bot.
They asked if I’d be interested in having my books reviewed by their “network of 45,000 readers”.
“Sure,” I said. “Sounds good.”
The following day I saw a spike in hits to my website. It happened to be the day that the first draft chapter of “A Wounded Heart” to my Patreon and behind the Patreon wall on my -
Blog postSocial Care in the (Dis)United Kingdom is in crisis and has been for a very long time. It is criminally underfunded and many providers are inadequate to the point of negligence.
This is not a matter of opinion. Successive governments have admitted this for decades, but we are still waiting for a government, any government, to do something about it.
Theresa May put proposals in her 2017 manifesto but they were rejected to the point of probably costing her the slim majority she -
Blog postPatreon Facebook Twitter Tumblr Amazon Goodreads Pinterest Twitch RSS Feed To go alongside the new Patreon, I had no idea what Discord was until I set up the Patreon, but my son is 15 and uses it and seemed very surprised when I told him I had an account. He then refused to give me the link to the chat rooms he uses for some reason. I can’t think why.
Anyway, the server link is https://discord.gg/Hu3kyvVT
I’ve already created a channel for the discussion of the WIP Chapters I -

Blog postPatreon Facebook Twitter Tumblr Amazon Goodreads Pinterest Twitch RSS Feed The Westmouthshire Universe grew out of the first novel I had published by Phaze back in 2008, Kissed by a Rose. I had intended to set this novel in the same town I went to university in, Aberystwyth, but I quickly realised that my recollection of the town’s features was not only hazy, but also very much out of date. Not only that, but Aber wasn’t really a big enough town for the story I wanted to tell.

Blog postThe Tomorrow War was released on Amazon Prime Video as an Amazon Original at the start of July and I only sat down to watch it this past weekend. It was originally going to be released in cinemas by Paramount, but the pandemic led to Amazon snapping up the rights. There’s an interesting post there somewhere in looking at how the release of new movies has changed over the past couple of years and if it’s going to continue once we are finally out the other side of the horrible period in our

Blog postEarlier this week, I completed my review and reformat of the final of my Phaze publications, Lost & Found, the publishing rights of which reverted back to me after Phaze closed.
The book went live on Amazon on Thursday and so is now available to purchase or to read as part of your KU subscription.
Lost & Found tells the story of Chris Austins, who travels across the Atlantic to comfort his ‘cyber-lover’, Beth, following the loss of her baby brother in Iraq.
