We live in troubling times. We all know this. Which makes it especially important to stay inside, to work on what makes us happy. Except it doesn’t always work out like that. I’ve been without work for four weeks now and at the start I was very productive in the sure knowledge my situation was temporary. It has become evident over the last two weeks that this will… Read More

I’m having a rant. Want to know why? Because people are being bullied. Being threatened. Being made to feel unwelcome and unwanted in the #WritingCommunity. I wish this wasn’t the first time I’ve spoken about how I’ve seen or been guilted in the #WritingCommunity about what I do with my Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages, but I’d be a damn liar. Anyone who’s followed me would know I have… Read More

We talk a lot about writers block and what to do about it. All the different tips and tricks, and outright clownish tom-foolery in order to just sit down and shuffle twenty six letters until we can finally finish the fugly dumpster fire we somehow have to convince people to love as much as we do. Anyone who’s written more than a few pieces, or those *naughty*… Read More

As a prolific sprinter, and knowing that… Read More

Ask any writer or creative and all sorts and they will assure you that the community on Twitter has made them a better writer. With people posting success and losses, times of trial and celebration, there are any number of people to reach out to for help, encouragement and support. But for such a… Read More
I wrote a book in 25 days. Lets cut straight to the facts as they are; I don’t have kids I live in a rural area I have a short commute I worked fucking hard at it I love the book, I think it’s a great stand alone story and for me that’s a rarity.

Its come about thanks to a Twitter post that my Book Tour schedule is full for the rest of year, and my Author Interviews are also heavily booked, so I wanted to ask that if you are a writer with a website you help too.
