Well.
Apologies for my absence from posting - it's been a busy (and indeed crazy) few months. As well as working on two, as yet unreleased, Deeper Realms stories (The Mermaid - set on the Peak District Moors in the C18th and The Almasty - on the trail of the Russian Bigfoot) for my forthcoming Complete Deeper Realms Volume 2 (watch this space) I've been working on a host of other projects, doing author events and most importantly have become an 'Egg' on The Golden Egg Academy's Story Foundation course (Northern Branch) which aims to encourage and foster talented writers of Children's and Young Adult Fiction.
I have the privilege of working with Tilda Johnson (formally of Penguin Random House and Hot Key Books among others) who'll be giving critical feedback on my fantasy/science fiction story 'Elsewhere' - an atmospheric, genre fusion, which sees three students dragged to the surface of Mars after witnessing an ancient phenomena (kind of Narnia meets The Martian).
These are exciting - if troubling - times, where digital technologies are coming to the fore in shaping the way we communicate and express ourselves, and I'm hoping that out of current world events, we will come to a new respect for the arts and gain a desire to celebrate and share good stories in whatever form they are produced.
So if you fancy something to read in these 'locked down' times, please check out my creepy university thriller CARBONIFEROUS, available FREE via Wattpad, following Beth, Ben and Izzy on the trail of something deeply troubling in the palaeontology department of the University of the East Midlands! I'll be attempting to upload chapters weekly, so stay tuned, keep safe and watch this space!
