Author of the Word Spider series, books 1-4 are available now. Book 5 is coming very soon.
Does anyone want to donate some of their daily hours. I don't seem to have enough to do all the things I need to do.

Overloaded, overtired.

So before all the #TheLastOfUs hype came about, I had written the first draft of book 7 in the #WordSpider series.
A redemption story, for one character traveling the wilderness, they come across some cordycep infected creatures, and some warriors hunting them.

I have sat in worse place to do some writing. The joy of having a roof terrace at work. Might have to move out of the sun though.

Alongside writing, I enjoy a little photography. Last night I was lucky enough to finish work early and on the way back to my hotel, took the opportunity to take some snaps.

Got to love #London at #night

I was very lucky when I found @jonstubbington.bsky.social and he agreed to be part of The Word Spider series.

His artistic ability and imagination has truly brought my books to life.

The covers each with little hidden details.

Off to Thorpe park today with my daredevil soon to be 10year old.
He is up for all the big rides, whereas I'm less inclined 😂
Should be an interesting day.

I did a thing.

The Stacks, is 77 of your Earth pennies (free with Kindle unlimited), for 43 pages of sci-fi set on a distant world, where the terraforming failed, but down in the sludge there's riches to be found.

Let me know what you think, with a quick review.

Do your kids like #spiders? do they like reading?
Then check out The Word Spider series, full of adventure, family, secrets and more.

Sat in my favourite drinking establishment, adding the artwork to #TheAdventuresOfKurtPartTwo (the fifth book in The Word Spider series.

Once again @jonstubbington.bsky.social has worked his magic, creating beautiful images to compliment my books.

Had all the internal images for book 5 in #TheWordSpider over from the ever wonderful @jonstubbington.bsky.social
Cover reveal coming soon.
Book 6 and 7 booked in for early next year (unless I win the lotto by then, or the film rights get picked up 😁)

I also have two other WIPs I want to finish😱

Having finished my set of nights this morning, I'm trying to keep myself busy, so I don't fall asleep early.

So I'm sitting in my local coffee shop/bar, editing #Stacks a sci-fi short.
With failed terraforming, strange intelligent sand, and a crazy game played 80 levels above a poisonous world.

Also have found an awesome.new character for future stories set in the world of The Word Spider.

I imagine a little caravan of these creatures, walking across the desert. Kind of a nomadic tribe.

Definitely a short story in there, may even feature a full tale.

Doing a little edit on a sci-fi short story, (working title The Stacks) that may end up being more than a short story 😂
Definitely one benefit to my job, when it's a little slow I can get some writing done #DontTellMyBoss

When I killed off one of mine, it was bitter sweet, they needed to go, to help the MC move on, and grow. But I made sure they went out in style.

How many characters have you all killed off?

Alongside editing book 5 in #TheWordSpider series, I'm painting these lovely 3D printed versions of Alice the MC from the series, for a display at the shop where my books are for sale.

Undercoat is all done, next is the shading and then some pure white to bring them alive.

Might share them soon... In the meantime here is my idea I sent over to Jon 😂 this is why I have artist.

As I'm new here, let me introduce you to my books.
