“…You see, a baby’s head is like a mashed potato, easily deformed. Sometimes, in the birthing process, they get a little... off.” ​

Always a pleasure #HorrorWritersChat. Must confess, depression hit hard during this weeks session but being part of this community is always a big help, so thank you.

If interested, I'm running a sale until Friday. Several horror books for only 0.99. www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Oli-J...

"What the bloody Hell is this?"

A mysterious hole brings with it curiosity, obsession, and madness to a small community. Eventually, chaos reigns.

Reminded of this today. Still something I try to abide by.

Quite proud of this pic I took the other night of MacReady drinking by firelight.

Just to add, my favourite elder character in my books is James Stanley aka The Colonel in DEEP DOWN THERE. Not only does he open the book (“what the bloody hell is this?”) he is a vital part. Here he is in Lego form looking down the hole with his wife, Heather, Crendon, and Hannah.

Oh most definitely. Getting eyes on one’s work is one of the toughest things about being an indie author. The audience is out there, but it’s about being seen amongst the crowd. Although I have my methods…
