So, here's a thing. It turns out I've been suffering gender dysphoria. All those books written with only queer female protagonists should have been the biggest clue, yet I missed it somehow🙂

So as July 18th, "W" day, I'm proudly transgender. The chrysalis forms 🥰 🌈

Feminisation hair transplants in. Despite the bloody mess, the real me is emerging already. So exciting! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️.

Anyone else feel like they are being carried along by their true selves, and they're just along for the ride? 😊

I love the excitement of getting something out of my head onto the page. The desperation, almost. It's quite a rush.

Least favourite is probably editing. I don't mind it but the pure creativity is over and it's focused refinement - a different beast 🙂.

Without the ECHR, the UK Human Rights Act will be watered-down, unchecked, to exclude the politically inconvenient.

Which could suddenly be you.

It won’t stop with immigration.

I’m not queer myself, but I believe this to my core, and I don't think I've ever seen it quite so well articulated.

Writer Or Author?

Here we go, you're thinking. What's he railing against this time? Well, it's the usual, really. Artificial barriers, gatekeeping, and elitism. This time, the perception of the difference between writers and authors. A small point, perhaps, but taken as one of the thousand cuts…

This time, the perception of the difference between writers and authors. A small point, perhaps, but taken as one of the thousand cuts that an author must suffer...? As with every opinion I offer, this is my perspective. What happens to me, and what conclusions I draw, may differ greatly from your own. Who Is A Writer? A writer is someone who writes. That's the definition in its simplest form, and covers a lot of ground.

The cover for my debut, Newborn (which is actually my 4th book - long story), will be ready in a couple of days. It's all getting a bit real. Can't wait to see see how much better it will be than my placeholder effort! 😊

Having spent 5 days getting my website up and running, I'm finally back writing. I'd missed it more than I thought I would, and it welcomed me back like a lost love. This is why we write. The love of the craft.
