I had an odd realisation the other day. As you may have realised, quite a lot of my fiction is set in the NorthWest of England (not surprising as I know it well), but the likely locations for the next three fiction books on my …
Read MoreIs Verisimilitude A Dirty Word (or just a hard one to spell)?
I’ve mentioned in some previous blogposts how accuracy can be difficult, and I’m by nature someone who wants everything in my books to be truthful and factual where it can be, but there are a couple of exceptions. In tEXt me, there were a couple …
Read MoreReview: Powerless – Vicky Ball
If you wonder why I’m posting another glowing review, the answer is actually quite simple. I won’t post a review of a book on my website that I don’t really like, as I don’t think it’s fair on an author who’s put their heart and …
Read MoreHappy New Year
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 MoreDog In A Santa Suit
Just thought I’d post a pre-Christmas/ Winter Solstice greeting, in case you were missing me, and as I’ll be away from computers over the festive weekend (not just because I’ll be in Wales, but intentionally as well). Writing-wise, I’m in that most frustrating, but good, …
Read MoreBack in the Saddle
It’s so nice to finally get some reviews for tEXt me. I’m back to editing the next story, after a period where for whatever reasons I just couldn’t motivate myself to write, but I’m enjoying being back in ‘the zone’ now, even if that means …
