Overheard a conversation yesterday where one person had lost their job. Their friend was like “well you could just find a publisher and become a writer if you want an easy paycheque”.
Um, no. No, I’m afraid it’s not that simple 😂

The subject matter of this month's writing update should come as a surprise. And it is a shorter update this time because, well, publishing GOATS has been my main focus, and my Year In Review blog post is coming up in just a couple of weeks.

I can expect the doorbell to ring three times today between deliveries and service requests for broken appliances. Is this how Scrooge felt knowing he'd be visited by 3 spirits? Honestly, I think I would prefer getting visited by ghosts today.

If I'm fundraising for a cat rescue & the first thing you say to me is "I hate cats" what're you looking to get out of the convo? I'm not going to agree with you or respond. If someone doing good in your community makes you angry then stay home. The fact that this happened multiple times is WILD

When I write, I have comp titles and inspiration movies in mind. But it's fascinating seeing what other titles readers relate my books to. If you're wondering what GOATS is like, here's what my beta readers thought.

With pre-orders & ARC applications coming soon, I think it's time I warn you about GOATS. Some beta readers said the book was almost too gory😈 This psychedelic folk horror story is unlike anything I've ever written before.

LAST author event of 2025 😭 I've got plenty of queer and spooky books all packed up and ready to go, along with a selection of Blind Date Bundles for The Book Purge. I don't typically attend Christmas Markets, but I couldn't say no to the Pride Christmas Market hosted by NG Pride🌈🎄See you tomorrow!

When I started writing Skull Daddy 2 I used the movie “Mother!” as inspiration. But the more I write the more it’s starting to look like “Midsommar”

There are only 2 ways to drink tea:
1. Oh no, I drank it too soon and burned my mouth. I should have waited.
2. Oh no, I waited too long and now my tea is cold. I should have taken a sip right away.

Mark trying to explain a specific car to me: It’s a hatchback
Me who has car-related ptsd and knows nothing about cars unless they’re autobots: explain it to me like I don’t know what that means
Mark explains and then shows me a picture.
Me: oh so it’s a car-shaped car 😀
Mark: 😑
