My critique partner, Alexandra Ott's, debut novel is out today, MG Fantasy RULES FOR THIEVES! Eee, exciting. Look at that glossy cover! (And did I mention I had a hand in choosing the title? 😉 ) Twelve-year-old Alli Rosco is smart, resourceful, and totally incapable of keeping her mouth shut.

House Moving and Procrastination
Sorry I have been shamefully quiet this last week. It looks like I was more able to post when I was out of the country (in Poland for the World Youth Day) than when I have been here in England with my laptop and time to my disposal. There have been a few factors orchestrating … Continue reading House Moving and Procrastination

Thoughts on A Fictional Future | Fauxpocalypse

Having run from Switzerland through Milan, they enter an almost dream-like Venice, where murky canals are invitations to … Continue reading Thoughts on A Fictional Future | Fauxpocalypse
The Dust of Venice | Fauxpocalypse
Ruin. It had, for the moment, subsided, passed away, moved on if you will. When one had spent a year trekking until one’s feet bled, one learnt to distinguish between what was simply the aftermath of the shock of a no-event and what was actual ruin, in the form of cities and states and provinces … Continue reading The Dust of Venice | Fauxpocalypse
We All Have Our Own Journeys
Today’s gospel, the parable of the generous vineyard owner (Matthew 20: 1-16), is a message sure to ring true with a lot of people. How often have we been stuck in a dead-end job whilst those on par with us rise to greater things? How often have we received a lower grade from a teacher … Continue reading We All Have Our Own Journeys

Unwrapping Fauxpocalypse
Dave unwraps the print proofs of Fauxpocalypse, heralding the print not-end of the world. It is nigh, bloggers! Keep an ear to the blog-ground! 🙂
Despite the twin obstacles of many public holidays and flooded airports, the proofs for the paperback edition finally arrived from CreateSpace.
And I made a video of myself opening them. So you get a sneak peek at what Fauxpocalypse looks like as a physical book:
And, as several people have already kindly pointed out, at what my hair does when I am not watching it closely.
