Author of (primarily speculative fiction) stories and novels, also reader thereof. My flintlock fantasy novel Wayward Wings came out in 2024, and I'm bimbling my way through writing the next one

After the amazing whirlwinds of #Bristolcon25 and #WoldFantasyCon25 , I was happy to spend a weekend baking. I now have a healthy treat to reward myself with when I've written another 1000 words (or 500 words... or 50)

Pack bags, check all reservations x 10, decide to redo hair colour, panic, get lift to station, get stuck in traffic, get to station just in time, walk round and round chasing the departure platform... But, I'm on the train! Whoohoo, I'm off to Brighton and #worldfantasycon2025
See you there

Up early, especially for a Saturday, to go to Bristolcon. I love being out and about before (most of the) world has woken. Yes, I know about timezones. But there's a quiet to the pre-dawn, and I like it

WAYWARD WINGS is a dark, flintlock adventure in which a bounty-hunting dragon is sent to track down a lowly human. This turns out to be far more dangerous than she could have imagined. What begins as a simple mission evolves into an exploration of estrangement, belonging, and self-acceptance.

My nephew asked me to draw a cat with two kittens because his mum told him I "was so good at drawing" 😬
I'm not unhappy with the result, though

If anyone is looking for a big book with which to survive the festive season...

And you fancy a dark flintlock fantasy with mythical creatures
about a man hunt...

Oh, did I mention the protagonist is a female bounty-hunting dragon?

Normally, I don't read reviews, but when I happen upon them, it's a wonderful feeling when it's good.
