Significant Other Machine - Now available on Amazon Kindle

In this episode, Adam and Keith take a blunt look at the slow death of language, where love now means “I quite like this app update”, and hate means “this mildly inconvenienced me for eight seconds." The chaps also get triggered by... being triggered.

I’m just putting the finishing touches on Significant Other Machine, cleaning up the scribbles, plumping the cushions, hoovering around and spraying some lavender-scented air freshener, and when all that is done, you’ll see my 9th novel appear on Amazon **SOMETIME NEXT WEEK!**

In our very first guest episode, Keith talks to author and self-appointed grumpy bugger, Jason Ayres. As part of a new series of episodes, where guests get to propose bills for the Middle Raged Manifesto, Jason enters the chamber to discuss his petty gripes.

In this episode, we unleash the 'Lady Rage', tackling the lack of pockets in women’s clothing, perimenopausal brain fog, and men’s (alleged) gift-buying inadequacies.

Significant Other Machine Teaser

Coming Soon!

In the shattered realm of Darkness and Mourning, corruption bleeds through every stone. Ancient caverns writhe with forgotten horrors. The cursed have awakened, and their hunger is endless. Few dare to descend. Fewer return.

Retro gaming season hits hard at Christmas. Maybe it’s the glow of fairy lights that reminds us of CRT scanlines, or the way wrapping paper sounds suspiciously like cartridge sleeves. Either way, it’s Prime Nostalgia Season, and if you’re shopping for the retro gamer in your life (or, you know, yourself), these books will slide into a stocking like a pixelated sled barreling down an ice level.

I’m thrilled to say that Significant Other Machine is complete and officially in the editing phase. If all goes well, it will step into the world in January 2026.

This week, Adam and Keith unwrap the very finest crap nobody asked for: the ultimate Middle Raged Gift Guide. From overpriced pasties the size of a canoe to incontinence pants, the chaps trawl through the most spectacularly awful gifts aimed squarely at folk of a certain age. Expect sarcasm, despair, and an unhealthy amount of middle aged humour as they decide which gifts deserve a place under the tree — and which should be launched into the sun.

Toby Steele stumbles into a Cold War experiment that makes him faster, stronger and dangerously useful. A secret UK department wants him wiped out before anyone notices.

Some nights, usually when I’m supposed to be asleep or paying attention to a Teams call, a thought sneaks in and starts rearranging the furniture in my brain: “What if we eventually run out of new songs?”

TOP SECRET MEMO

The less-than-dynamic, middle-aged duo are back with another dose of midlife humour and righteous rage. In this episode, Adam and Keith shine a light on the great British rip-off. From the price of a pint to the cost of parking, the chaps delve into some of the most egregious examples of rip-off pricing.

Melt - CHO - 2009

Physicists tell us the universe has limits - a smallest possible distance (the Planck length), a smallest possible slice of time (the Planck time), and even a smallest possible quantity of energy. But none of those compares to the smallest quantity known to humankind: the amount of a fucks I give when a corporation updates its Terms & Conditions.

In this episode, Adam and Keith hark back to the days when we bought music on cassettes and CDs, doorbells just chimed, and software came on a disc... usually in a nice box with a weighty manual.

Cold Heart October - Coming Soon

It’s that time again — the one month a year when the rest of the world briefly catches up with me and embraces the strange. Shadows get longer, doorbells ring, and everyone pretends they aren’t secretly delighted to be spooked.

We’re living in a zero-trust society — a kind of military lockdown of the heart. Everyone’s on high alert, running emotional surveillance like it’s national security. Text messages become evidence; glances are logged as suspicious activity. And beneath all of it hums the same quiet terror: I am not enough.
