NaNo-Not-Mo

A couple of weeks back and a few posts back, I mentioned that I am delving back into my Steampunk novel, H, after a couple of false starts with writing the third I my time-travel trilogy – Because H feels so much more polished, so much easier to slip into with edits. But that might …

Happy Steam-Powered Christmas

I suspect anybody reading this on Christmas Day will have also read a thousand Christmas posts. So, I wanted to do something different, and have gathered a few lovely Steampunk Christmas pictures from the web. A mechanical and copper bauble? That's a slightly creepy Father Christmas necklace. If you want a faerie or supernatural edge …

Ready. Set. Write! 16/7

During the weekend, I broke my laptop, so I was left stranded and rather confused. It’s fixed now, so I apologise for the radio silence, and for a rocky week of posts on which I have to work on. Why do I happen upon ideas when I have no medium in which to write them‽ …

Guest Post: LEGALLY UNDEAD by Margo Bond Collins

Today, I'm welcoming Margo Bond Collins onto the blog to talk about her top five favourite vampire films. Margo's novel LEGALLY UNDEAD, book 1 of the Vampirarchy series came out with World Weaver Press on the 27th. A reluctant vampire hunter, stalking New York City as only a scorned bride can. Elle Dupree has her life all figured …

Steampunky Love

It seems that I will have one of those months where I write consecutive posts one week, but fail to get anything in the next. I'm very sporadic and crazy at the moment. As I did say, I am trying to revise for my exams, so I have been putting my entire collection of ideas …

Photo of the Week: Direction

My favourite of my pictures from New York, of one of the iconic One Way signs. We don't have anything like it in England.

Picture Post: New York

Woo! Just thought I'd post some of my favourite photos from my trip to New York last week. Obviously, I couldn't put up all my pictures, but I tried to pick a good selection. In no particular order! Thirteen is enough (if not, I can do a second post!). Enjoy!

Photo of the Week: Celebration

Today you get a picture from my awesome camera-camera (as opposed to the usual phone-camera). Of course, it has to be a photo from the New York trip, of the Times Square Ball on Valentine's Day. That really sums up my week! More to come soon!

I’m Back!

Hi, I'm back from my trip to New York. I'll try and see what I can do for getting the blog schedule back and running, but mock exams are invading my creativity this week. For the moment, I've got a couple of Psychology and Philosophy posts planned - and I'm attempting to shift some of stubs …

Agnetha King: Behind the Character

I thought I'd do something fun, since I'm not really in the mood for a great written post today, and as I've been (on-off) rewriting Of Jackets and Phones, I thought I'd blather on about my precious MC.   For instance, to expand: Golden Hair. If I could, I'd lighten the hair altogether (note to self, …
