A still shot from the Madonna video for her song ‘Papa Don’t Preach’ with the caption “The baby that Madonna kept in the song ‘Papa Don’t Preach’ will be 40 years old this year.”

Promo image for the novell 'End of a Century', informing readers that it is both excellent and just 99p on Kindle this weekend.
Leave 2025 behind this weekend ... for just 99p!
Head for 1995, where the internet's barely a blip and there's hardly a mobile phone in sight. If you want to fall in love or solve a mystery, you have to do it the old way – face to face...

The only thing I felt was lacking - not enough ‘Go Go Garraty’ fanfare. But it has been 40+ years since I read it, so I expect the differences were less jarring.

I watched #TheLongWalk - last night and loved it. The story remained very close to @stephenking.bsky.social’s incredible story that totally captured my 12 year old mind when it first published.
The movie reignited my passion for the tale, although it feels less like fiction in today’s world!
Top, Top, Top TV.
Brilliant and thank you to writers Richie Conroy and Mark Hodkinson, all the actors, producers and BBC Northern Ireland, BBC, RTÉ and Avalon.
Magic times.

Book news: ‘How Soon Is Now?’ is about to get a bold new look!
All will be revealed in a day or two - but if you want to say you were one of the cool kids who snapped up this mind-bending time travel tale in its original garb, there’s still time…

Working on a new #shortstory this week - #Millie
For more than forty years, Millie Caine walked the path her father prophesied. “You’ll never amount to to anything, my girl. Mark my words.”
Had she marked his words?
Or had they marked her?

08.11.2025 21:58 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I just posted my review of @benjamingorman.bsky.social's The Sum of Our Gods (@notapipe.bsky.social publishing)
Read it on my blog, here:

I just finished (I don’t know why!) A six part ‘murder mystery’ series.
While literary agents send me endless form rejections, someone approved that script, someone allegedly directed the actors and someone said ‘Yep, that’s ready.’
Maybe I need to aim for TV writing instead. The bar seems low.
We’ve made an Indie Bites starter pack, featuring all the wonderful authors and illustrators who’ve contributed to Indie Bites.
Apologies to anyone we’ve missed - we’ve searched for you all but didn’t find you all, so please wave if you’re not in the pack and should be!
