I can’t believe it’s 2022! What a weird couple of years, but for me, there are positives as well as the more obvious negatives. I’ve had this website for a year now, and have thrown myself into the writing World wholesale. And I love it! …
Read MoreObligatory Pinned Post
Hello there. I’m a pinned post. It gets a bit lonely as people meet me once and then never visit again, but I’m a sort of concierge paragraph for the website, so that’s my job I guess. Welcome to the home of Kit, please feel …
Read MoreReview: John St. Clair – Stalin’s Door
So I thought I should post a couple of short reviews to some other fantastic Indie authors, starting with a wonderful book I enjoyed a huge amount. Stalin’s Door is a hugely ambitious and fascinating read, and captures the spirit of the horrifying period in …
Read MoreNormal Service will be Resumed soon
I hope you had a lovely holiday break. One of the things I spent my time doing, was working out as many mistakes as possible which I’ve been making with my writing career. More fun than it sounds. The reason for this post is an …
Read MoreDog In A Santa Suit

I’ve had a bit of a writing lull recently, finding it hard to motivate myself, and one of the reasons is the relative lack of success (expecially in garnering reviews) from my latest novel, tEXt me. I genuinely think it’s the best I’ve released so …
Read MoreWhen is enough, enough? Pt 2
So, I have a new appendix, and through writing it, I discovered the history of the girl, who she really was and why she was where she was, things that the original narrative didn’t include or need. Re-editing the main story with that knowledge really …
Read MoreWhen is enough, enough? Pt 1
This little distraction is about my writing process, and the next (probably) novel. Let’s cut straight to the chase, shall we? I’m what other writers call a “pantser” rather than a planner. Authors tend to fall into two camps; those who meticulously record plot, backstory, …
Read MoreAnother Sunday Update
So, another week has passed with mixed fortunes. Not the greatest month for me, but I had a trip away, doddled some book notes and while I’m not yet throwing myself into the next work, I actually had some small sucess in promoting tEXt me. …
