Happy anniversary to my gorgeous wife, Alison.

Our first date was on the 6th of June 1992 and we got married 6th of June 1998.

33 years as a couple, 27 married.

I'm a lucky man.

(plus we got Dude out of it all too!)

Back to work after the Bank Holiday weekend and I'm channeling this ladybird...

And, just like that (it appears), I'm the dad of a 20 year old! Happy birthday to the wonderful, funny, caring, absolute delight to be with that is my Dude. I couldn't be prouder of the great person he's turned out to be & look back on our adventures with a huge sense of pride!

I loved ghost stories when I was a kid (and still do), but look at the glorious covers on these paperback anthologies from Fontana. "Horror" is the 1982 edition, "Ghost" is from 1975.

My 4th novel from @thebookfolks.bsky.social was STILL WATERS RUN, which combined a lot of my favourite things - a mystery, the 80s and a coming-of-age story. It was on a Bookbub deal earlier this week and has had over 100 ratings since then! Check it out!

Today marks 3 years since we lost my dad. Sometimes, I feel every one of those days, sometimes it feels like it's only been 3 months. I miss him a lot (we all do) and even now, I'll see an ad for a book or TV show and think "Oh, I must tell Dad about that". Hug your loved ones.

In 1985 (40 years ago!), me, Rob Nichols, Mark Guyett, Sean Marshall & Steve Corton resurrected the Montsaye Student magazine while in the Sixth Form. We wrote, illustrated, sold ad space and designed the entire thing and it was a big success. We even got into the local paper... 🙂
