Assuming this handbrake 180 isn’t a swerve…what a sad waste of time this John Cena heel turn was.

No narrative pathos, direction, or emotional payoff, and only Cena turning up, doing his best to get people to invest in his heel persona despite it feeling forced and contrived.

It is currently 29°, I’m in a pub in central London with a cold pint, and have “Last Christmas” by Wham! playing in my ears.

But why…?

If you’re interested in fiction with characters that reflect these emotional realities, I’d be honoured if you checked out my work during #MensHealthWeek.

And if any of my stories strike a chord, reach out—I'd love to hear from you!

From Temporary to Steen to Burden, this has been a deliberate thematic choice from the start: characters who wrestle with mental health but are never solely defined by it.

It’s currently Men’s Health Week in the UK, with June also marking Men’s Mental Health Month in the US.

Mental health is a subject I’ve always taken seriously, with its exploration and representation intricately woven into my stories and characters.

• Burden release celebrations
• Steen skyrockets up the charts
• Discussing process, themes, and what’s next

With Burden getting its first review and Steen receiving another 5*, as well as rocketing to #1 (!), I figured the past few days are worth celebrating with a cold one!

Steen is still *free* (for now), so don’t delay!
