If you survived the apocalypse, what do you think you would miss the most?

Woke up in the early hours with a line that I thought would go well in my WIP. Sometimes stories are written line by line in the dark hours of the morning & that’s ok. Sometimes words wake you one at a time and don’t flow the way you want. But it’s working, the words are coming, slowly but surely.

I know Vodafone and Apple that you really want to sell your new IPhone 16 but as the advert is after EVERY song on Spotify if I ever see one I’m going to drop kick it into the sea. Just so you know.

Not me hurting my own feelings by writing a scene of a ghost being reunited with his wife 🫠

Anyone know of any indie horror presses currently or about to be open for novella submissions?

Do I have far too many books? Yes. Did I stop into the charity shop on my walk today and get excited by 25p books? Also yes!

Hadn’t been feeling well but dragged myself out to the park with the dog and thought how striking this tree looked against the mottled sky. Almost like a cell under a microscope.

The Last Night in Amsterdam – Welcome to the Hellforge Posts about The Last Night in Amsterdam written by Matthew Fryer

This is my very favourite review of my book The Last Night In Amsterdam. Matthew does a fantastic deep dive into the story and its themes. Really recommend hecking out this review and his others.

I’m going to have a crack at the BBC Writers room open submission call. Has anyone here got through to the next round and can offer any insights?

The fella and I had a day off today. Where did we spend it? Perusing the library! Came back with a load of excellent looking horror that’s been in my TBR for ages.

Support your local libraries!

Could you email the library to see if they’ve found it and can keep it aside?

My little book is a year old! If you’d like to read a darkly comic horror story about disastrous mini breaks in Amsterdam maybe consider giving this one a read!

Think I've almost found every one I was following before in the bad place.

Oh yeah, always have a couple on the go in case I'm in a different mood when I next have time to read.
