Long Time No See! - Oct 2018
I have been very bad at keeping this blog updated.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to stick to writing one book for a very long time. I've been dipping in and out of several rewrites (namely Would You Like Brains With That?, Bound by Magic and Girl Meets Underworld.
I will get there one day! Hopefully!

My 2017 Writing Resolutions
I had writer's block for a lot of 2016 so I want to try and make up ground this year.
So here are my plans for 2017:
- I will write (even if it's just a few words) at least five days a week.
- I want to finish one of the many stories I have on the go. Even if it's just a first draft.
Girl Meets Underworld and As We Lie Dying Update
As of the end of May, Girl Meets Underworld and As We Lie Dying will no longer be available through Opis Publishing.
I decided to end the contract with the publishers as I'm not happy with either of the stories in their current forms and plan to re-write them.
My time with the publisher was also a bit of a disappointment and was not what I expected.
It may take a while for me to get around to doing the rewrites as I'm currently focusing on other projects but I will update here when there is news.
I'm sorry for fans of GMU who were hoping for a sequel. I will get there in the end!

The Curse of the Sea is Live!
The Curse of the Sea, a mermaid-themed short story, is now live!
Review copies are available if you're interested.
Blurb:
It was self defence. I never meant to hurt anyone. I wasn't that kind of person but when she...it...attacked me, I acted instinctively. Now here I am, guilty of taking a life, hunted for what I am becoming and cursed to be something I never thought was possible.
I don't want to give in to it but it is getting harder and harder to avoid the curse of the sea.
