Blog postFirst of all, apologies to the fans (both of them!) but this isn't a Deathsworn Arc novel. This is something new. I've been working on it alongside Deathsworn Arc 6 for the last two years and I'm really pleased with how this has turned out. It still needs a few tweaks, but I think this is a great novel that will be enjoyed by anyone who likes the Deathsworn Arc. Yes it's a vampire story - but I think it's a really new take on the genre. Here's the blurb I've settled on:-
For centuri -
Blog postI'm getting closer to releasing my latest novel! It's been 2 years in the making. Currently trying to come up with a useable blurb. What do you think of this? Currently I think It's my best attempt:
For centuries, a hidden clique of vampires ruled Europe from the shadows. Then they created Ofelia. Turned into a vampire against her will at the age of 11 in the 14th century, Ofelia has never aged.
After centuries of hunting vampires, she's on her way to Stonehenge to comp -

Blog postA couple of decades ago I was in a band called the Liability Crisis. We made a punk song about a man called Ian Thomas who used to work for Rathbones Bakery. A talented individual has reworked this classic for the modern age. I give you 'Boris Johnson'

Blog postWell, I'd been looking forward to that episode for a long time. So far Season 8 has been all about tying up plot lines and bringing stories full circle. It spent two episodes focused on reunions and setting up this battle. Now the Night King has been defeated, it's on to the main boss. The Queen of Evil herself - Cersei.
What? Cersei more evil than the Night King? Well, I would argue yes. You really have to feel a bit sorry for the Night King. Was just some ordinary guy thousands of -
Blog postI don't get into town much these days. I spend most of my time in the quiet village I call home. Last night though I was in Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre to take my daughter to a LaserQuest birthday party.
The effects of online shopping, brexit and years of Tory austerity were very starkly on show. The high-street appears to be dying. It's not that so many shops were shut, but that so many had shut down.
Britain is in a mess at the moment, our society as divided as -

Blog postWell, over the Christmas break, I've been catching up. I've started watching Season 5 of Game of Thrones. I'm six episodes in at the moment. I DO like the series. It's gritty, brutal and unforgiving. It also has some very human characters who you can empathise with.
I've been telling myself for a long time I ought to start reading the books. When I was in Smith's just after Christmas I saw the first book on sale for £4. I thought, what the hell - why not? I'm nearly finished T -

Blog postIt's been nearly two years in the making! Which seems ridiculous... But it's here. Somehow yesterday I had the courage to click 'Publish'. I'm already paranoid it isn't 'spot on'.
So what's it like? Well, it's 94,000 words long. So 12,000 words longer than The Blood Queen and Rise of the Archmage
It's also horrendously complicated (At least to me! It'll probably seem simple to the readers!) Why? Well at one point there are five separate storylines going on at the same t -
