My #WritingTask for today is to write the pitch for my second horror idea. This one involves psychedelics…

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

How did your character get started on their current line of work/quest? What started them down that path?

Was it a specific choice they made? Serendipity? Was their hand forced by someone? Was it a mistake?

I got a new agent and wrote a whole new book and came up with two more book ideas and got formally involved in activism work and nurtured my relationship. I’m proud of that.
Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.

Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.

Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

Just watched #TheLostBoys for the first time (hashtag research), after getting traumatised by it around the age of nine when my older cousins were watching it.
Have to say, I’m kind of a fan, though for me it got a bit too #Goonies in places?

Other than buying our books, one of the BEST gifts you can give an author is to write a review and/or tell some friends about what you've read 😁
Thanks for reading!!!!

Okay, I wrote my vampire story pitch!
Not sharing it as it’s probably quite shit and will probably change loads, but at least I have a first draft of it!
#Don’tGetItRightGetItWritten
Today, I’m going to try and write pitches for the two book ideas I’m working on, but honestly, I don’t really know how to do it, because it’s hard not to make a book involving vampires sound totally naff 😖

It's cool to be reading down an article of recent horror books going "Yes, ha ha ha YES" sickos style because they're all bangers and then stumble onto your own among them 🤩

A GAME IN YELLOW is in fantastic company here with BLACK FLAME, BAT EATER, and more 💛
