Haldred Chronicles Alyssa released!

It’s here at last

Well I’ve already been extensively advertising on social media, but thought I’d blog about this as well.

 

It’s out ladies and gentlemen. After 3 years of recruiting, editing, proof reading and production, my first book ‘Haldred Chronicles: Alyssa' is now out!

 

Get it HERE

 

Also, for those in America HERE

 

I hope over the next few months I’ll be posting a little more regularly, talking about the writing and design of Alyssa, what I’ve learnt about writing, the world the book is set in amongst other things.

 

But for now, please enjoy my book.

 

Take care

 

 

Still Alive, Still Writing

Writing in the COVID Era

My last update was in Christmas 2019.  How things have changed.

We’ve weathered the storm here, and it has been a storm.  We’ve been locked down and cut off for long periods of time due to sickness, and as the months have rolled by time has been hard to come by for us at least. 

Work has been exceedingly busy, which has meant between work and family, very little time for writing.

However, I’ve not been idle.

I’ve managed to keep a custom written D&D Role play game going with 4 friends of mine.  This has let me at least flex my creative muscles and do a bit of scenario and back story writing.  To keep me in the game so to speak.

Likewise, I’ve been in touch with my publisher and despite everything, progress is being made.  Sadly they have been affected by COVID more so than me; based in America, their immediate area has been badly hit like the rest of the country.

What happens next?  Hopefully in the next few months if things calm down there will be some progress on the novel and I will get a bit more time to write.  This all depends on things continuing to improve here in Northern Ireland, and at last improving in America.   We will see.

Stay safe everyone
