I'm signing off the details of a new map commission this evening. Working with @dewiwrites.bsky.social is one of the fun aspects of being a writer I particularly enjoy. I hope to show off the new artwork soon!

I have four bonus short stories to proof and then I can move on to assembling the Brotherhood of the Eagle omnibus edition. This has been a bigger project than planned, but also a rewarding one in helping me re-evaluate my work to date.

I had a great time catching up with @rjbayley.bsky.social at Church restaurant in Sheffield over lunch. Excellent vegan food served in a fun, relaxed venue, although the panna cotta presented in the style of a baby's head was mildly disturbing 😄

Had a relaxing breakfast and a bit of a lie in this morning. Now it's time to push on and try and finish proofing the Brotherhood omnibus. Some bonus material is also coming together nicely 😁

I've decided to streamline my writing projects. From now on I'll have a relentless focus on completing one manuscript before moving on to the next.
Other than a little artwork commission, of course.
Oh, and some short stories.
Oh yes, and extra Patreon content.
😩 Help me!

In a disturbing development, I've found the text of the paperback version of A Time of Dread by @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social is too small for my aging eyes 😞 especially late at night. Fortunately, I have the larger font of the hardback to fall back on! Getting old 😂

A busy couple of writing days. Yesterday I was posting my own monthly blog, writing a magazine article and doing a guest blog post for an upcoming event next month. Today it's back to work on the Brotherhood omnibus, where I'm approaching the final stretch!

My trip to Germany last weekend proved to be one of the best things I did in 2025, so I wanted to share some more of the highlights. We chose the perfect weekend for the trip, which showed off the amazing autumnal colours of the Black Forest near Triberg 1/3

I’ve said this before, a lot, but when you’re an author and your book doesn’t sell your feelings can default to the premise, “Everyone in the world was offered my book and they all personally rejected it.” The truth is most people don’t know it exists. Awareness is the problem, not you or your book.
