🇮🇪 Writer of absurd fantasy & haunted satire. Gremlins, trousers, ghosts & pigeons, not always in that order. Quietly unravelling. #AuDHD
London’s pigeons are acting weird. The grimoire won’t shut up. And Elias Blackwood? He’s about to find out dead relatives are the *least* of his problems. #TheBickeringDead – coming Aug 1st.

Hey!

I'm your neurodivergent writer of satirical fantasy and urban chaos, where the magic’s messy, the ancestors bicker.

1st of 4 short stories drops end of June. Expect mischief, mayhem, and maybe a confused pigeon or two.

If a bit of Cork sneaks into my voice, that’s my heritage getting comfy.

Every time, I manage to pick the slowest feckin’ queue in Lidl. Then me card glitches. Security eyes me like I nicked a gallon of milk and stuffed half a salmon down me pants... sideways. Grand altogether lads... 🛒🥴

Hello all!! So news this week...
Im still working on my main #WIP. But I've also written a short 7564 word story acting as a prelude to my main prologue... currently in beta reading. Fingers crossed.

Also, ive begun an urban fantasy novel (currently chapter 5) which im equally loving working on. 🙂

I've got some short stories bubbling... I'm thinking of (if good enough) trying the indy author route for just these ideas as a subtle introduction to my absurd fantasy to see if my humour resonates.

So... stop me now if you think this is a potential disaster.

Thoughts?

Morning fellow writers/authors/awesome peeps... aside from my brain not wanting to play today (and my coffee on low).

I'm also battling a creeping dread that my "comedy" novel... isn't actually very funny... at all.

Self-doubt is the bane of my life. How do you guys cope with it? #writerslife

Caught my Chromebook nappin’. It's just the screensaver, honest! I've been deep in plot structure today. Ironing out the who, what, when, where, and most importantly, why and its equally baffling cousin, HOW into key aspects within my novel.

Coffee is a must... I find caffeine can ease the migraine. That and my anti-glare lenses. Lol

Today feels like being "gently flogged to death with scented bootlaces."
I've a migraine knocking on my frontal cortex with ‘Ymor’s right-hand man’ energy. Uh! 😶‍🌫️🤕

Letting Your Voice Breathe: Lessons from Eight Years of Hark
After eight years of scribbling and storm-dodging, I’ve learned this: your writing voice changes, and that’s where the real magic lives. Don’t rush—live, observe, rewrite. The words get better when…

Hi! I’m an aspiring author writing my first novel, an absurd fantasy-comedy full of chaos, magical trousers, and poor life choices. Fueled by coffee & questionable plot twists, hoping to polish it up and query soon. Looking to connect with fellow writers! #amwriting #FantasyComedy #WritingCommunity
