"Well written sci-fi for all ages." "A captivating story." "Couldn't put it down." "Beautifully crafted." "If you enjoyed Super 8, Stranger Things, ET, and Starman, you will love this." During the blackout of 1944, in the small English town of Hurstwick, something mysterious obliterates the church spire and slices through the nearby woods. Despite a government coverup, evacuee George Moss discovers the cause of the destruction, becoming the first of a select few who, over the next seventy years, are entrusted with keeping the truth hidden. Years later, Max Cannon moves to town and stumbles across the secret, triggering a chain of events, putting himself and his new friends in the middle of a deadly conflict… His Name was Wren is a first-contact science fiction adventure. A story of friendship, family, and struggle spanning seven decades and a thousand light-years. This story can be read as a standalone or as book one of The Wren Trilogy.

I recently started pulling together a list of books, videos, and tools for #writers

I'm aiming to update the list every Sunday morning and will soon add podcasts and substacks to the mix.

I have never spelled the word silhouette correctly first time. Never. Not even close enough for autocorrect to guess.

The characters in this scene have "stepped back in shock" so many times I think the room is now empty. #writing #editing

Trying something new over the holiday season for the youths who visit my Little Free Library.

I’m wrapping up some of my favorite MG and YA novels with little tags that hint at what’s inside.

Can’t wait to see how many presents we can give away this month. 🎁❤️

If you're struggling with what to get me this Christmas, a "Dune Bible" is up for auction. It's a bit pricey, but I'm sure you could all chip in.

Adding the following clauses to my copyright text:

- Artificial intelligence was not used for the writing of this book or the creation of its cover.

- No part of this book may be used or reproduced to train artificial intelligence.

Doubt it'll stop any thieving bots, but feel free to add it too.

Just wrote 4 four pages of alien history so that the three lines in the book referring to it make sense to ME. 🤦🏻‍♂️
