The cover of The Paradox Paradox. A minimilist style cover with 8 multicoloured threads decending down the page. At the mid point they begin to break apart and fade away.

We may have hit bedrock on what constitutes breaking news.

Screenshot of a breaking news article on The Independent which reads "Three phones just broke".

I've been mentioned in Doctor Who Magazine AND they liked Rise of the Eukaryans! A dream come true!

A photograph of a written review from a magazine, in black text on a white background. The excerpt reads "...you end up in medieval England with the Tenth Doctor, echoing those 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books of yesteryear. But it's Daniel Hardcastle's pun-filled Rise of the Eukaryans which is the best, as narrator Laura Aikman's posho Eleventh Doctor beats back a hostile invasion of sentient bread. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get a bit snacky. Jamie Lenman".

Happy New Year! My resolution is to PLAY EVEN MORE GAMES!

Steams game playing overview screen showing three icons down the left hand side in a light teal/turquoise on the backgrond of a darker teal. Next to each of the three icons is white text with a progress bar underneath going from dark red to light blue. The first bar says "You unlocked 847 achievements" with an arrow pointing to the middle of the bar. Underneath it says "Steam Median 13". The second bar says "You played 141 games" with an arrow pointing to the middle of the bar. Underneath it says "Steam Median 4". The third and final bar says "Your longest streak was 48 days" with an arrow pointing to the middle. THis bar isn't filled all the way along, and a small amount at the end is teal, the background colour. Underneath it says "Steam Median 6".
