Children's author, horror writer, and servant of furry Shih Tzu overlords. Just a struggling, nerdy writer, and IT genius living on a rock.

I've got help from my furry editors. Although, I don't think 'help' is the right term 😝.

Today, I learned that Stephen King wrote a children's book called Charlie the Choo-Choo. It's as horrifying as you'd expect. So, of course, now I need to buy a copy.

Two severs, both alike in dignity,
In fair AWS, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil packets makes civil connections unclean.

Amanita pantherina (Panther Cap). I took this a few years ago while on a photo walk through Candie Gardens

Wishing a happy Liberation Day to everyone on the islands. Now, more than ever, we most remember what this day represents.

A few years ago, my best friend sent me this when I was having one of those dark, self doubting periods. Now it's my turn to remind you that your story is absolutely worth telling. Get it out of your head and on to the page.

Two years ago today, the world was introduced to a friendly redheaded witch called Henrietta.

Right now, I know there is a writer out there about to give up. Questioning why they are putting themselves through all this. I know because each and every one of us has been that writer many times over. Don't give up. Find your inner Godzilla, and roar on the burning remains of a random city!

It's been 6 months since the big move, and I've finally sorted my writing nook.

It's bath day. Jasper doesn't like bath day. Luckily he is a master of disguise. Trained in the art of blending in with his surroundings. Stealthy like a ninja. Invisible like the wind. #dogs

My girlfriend surprised me at christmas with a Blokees kit. You can't get these here for love nor money. I can see this becoming an expensive addiction 🤩

It's a bit snowy and foggy on Gillyford, so Henrietta is giving Santa a hand to make sure he can finish his rounds. Happy Christmas from everyone on the island.

I got to work to an unexpected present from one of my favourite users today. I'm going to try and get my official title changed to match.

My Spotify wrap really highlighted why I can never answer when I get asked what my favourite kind of music is. One day, I'm bopping to Dolly Parton, the next transcending reality with Joe Hisaishi. I'm curious what happened on Feb 27th. The Princess Monoke medley 97 times?

Mum popped around to visit her furry grandkids today. With Monty sporting another of his fabulous outfits.

Monty Moo, sporting the latest in winter wear for the discerning gentleman dog.

I love it when chapters have titles.

It's been a few years since I first heard the story of how Peter developed both the voice of one of the most iconic characters of my childhood. And it never fails to inspire.

Something love in my role as head of IT at the day job: you never know what you'll be doing when handling lots of legacy systems. This week, I had to dust off this bad boy.

My current read: Berserker by Ade Edmonson. I'm not normally a fan of autobiographies, but as a fan since childhood, I had to get this. It's absolutely fascinating look at an incredibly varied career 💙📚

My debut children's book: The Adventures of Henrietta Hedgekin - Friendship. Henrietta is a witch unlike any other. Always ready to give help to whoever needs it.
