Very pleased to have published this (under my “other” name), with a stellar group of Northumbrian musicians. Available from the Northumbrian Pipers’ Society online shop.

The Annals of the Heptarchy are coming! Get ready for a future world where hope and despair are finely balanced across seven warring realms … Here’s the opening of the first book, The Phantom Flame.

Every day the dystopian future imagined in the novels I’m writing about a future UK ravaged by climate change gets a bit closer.

Nice graphic from the @bathnovelaward.co.uk showing words appearing in titles of novels submitted. I see a word from my title! Judging starts tomorrow….

I love writing in my loft, surrounded by books and art materials … but then upload online, and download for evening browsing and revision on phone. Then email to myself for next morning … It’s a virtuous cycle!

First felt like a writer at age 11, when I won this prize at school for a description of a coral reef in Malaysia where I lived then. The choice of book indicates also an abiding interest in horror, later to be my PhD subject!

I’ve drawn maps in my novel. Big fan of literary maps - Ransome, Tolkien, Stevenson, Lewis. Fascinating project @lancasteruni.bsky.social on Chronotopic Cartographies. Here are my maps of the future (2154) city of Cant.

Fascinating discovery of letter by the young ST Coleridge. We sometimes forget that the greatest writers were prone to self-doubt.

Whose idiotic idea was it to rename the lovely Russell Hotel the “Fitzroy”? TS Eliot must be turning in his grave …

My favourite bookshelf at home. Endless inspiration.
