Writers!
What are you writing at the moment? Are you writing this weekend?
I'm currently 50 pages deep into a script. I've torn through this one as it's based on a novel I wrote earlier this year. Hint as to the theme below...
What are you working on?

Hi all,
I'm Dan. A writer from the North of England.
My novella Territory hit shelves last year, set in a remote Finnish hunting community.
I'm due a new book at the back end of the year to go along with the numerous other projects I'm working on.
Let's chat horror, crime, and writing!

On holiday but thinking about what arrived before I left. Sitting on the back patio with pen and paper making future plans and dreaming big, because there's no other way.
