I aten’t dead

Well, I finally got access to my WordPress account back after a complicated series of events, and now I need to learn how WordPress works all over again in order to modernise the site, which was already looking dated in 2019, which I will add to my list of… many things that are waiting for […]

Anna Chronistic is coming!

A snippet from today’s final (spoiler: it won’t be final, there will be adjusting the headers because either Amazon or Lulu objects to the format they’re in, because there always is) edits on Anna Chronistic: “Margaretta Crompton,” I said in the deep, thrilling voice with which my mother is wont to address her favoured fox […]

Kingsblood – An Awfully Big Announcement

For some time now, those of you who follow my Twitter may have heard rumblings of a Secret Project. (Also, those of you who remember that I took so long to write Heavy Ice that Firebrand came out in the meantime will not be surprised to hear that the Secret Project is now closer to […]

Anna Chronistic – The End Approaches

The first draft of Anna Chronistic And The Scarab Of Destiny is nearing its climax, and I’m tentatively hoping for a 2017 release. Here is a snippet of today’s writing (may be NSFW, depending on your workplace: mention of vintage erotica)

Today’s snippet

As so often in my books, two characters are discussing religion. “I’m KinHarzin. When the Emperor was Binitarian, I was Binitarian. Now that the Emperor is Dispensationalist, I am Dispensationalist.” “And what would you be if the Emperor disbanded the KinHarzin?” “Dangerous.” In other news, Lulu has moved on since I last published a book […]
