Welcome to my page. Poppy is a Steampunk character (the books are over at Amazon). I'm actually an overweight middle-aged writer, hiding behind the character.

Out soon:
Constructing Churchill is a satirical meta-novel investigating how national mythology is used by the English Establishment to perpetuate itself down the generations, with the specific focus being on the populist rendering of Winston Churchill the man into Winston Churchill the Myth

The new novel should be out soon, a work of meta-fiction dedicated to "the woke lefty immigrant atheist PC Muslim Marxist trans gay agenda."

Having finally finished the last book, which pretty much sucked the life out of me, I'm trying to get some energy to either start the next one or go back and finish an old manuscript that needs a huge amount of editing.
Neither appeals 🙁

Never had a chance to log on yesterday, but anyhoo; the edits are finished and the book is in!
Not, admittedly, a new Steampunk book, (and this profile is usually for my Steampunk series and the general enjoyment of other Steampunky things) but heigh ho, it feels like I've actually done something.

I joined Blue Sky and one the Poppy books sold over on Amazon; coincidence??? 🤔
PS I should add that getting any sales at all is pretty rare, hence I don't know if this was coincidence or cause and effect...
Nice, though 😁

Hello to my new followers, hope I've followed you all back; I'm still struggling to work out how this site works as I'm not a natural with technology.
At some point, I will start posting some book/writing news, but I've been getting very lax with such things recently as I've mostly given up😵💫
