Friday 28th April 2017 As you know, I like to write each edition of The Climb at the end of the day and then edit the next day. In the interests of full disclosure, this one was written at the start of the next day (for reasons you’ll find out). My current schedule is leaving [...]
Tuesday 11th April 2017 One of the big life aims of most writers is to one day earn enough from your writing that you could do it full-time. For most writers it’s the impossible dream. Even if you are able to get a book deal that pays you an advance, to earn one that actually [...]
Monday 27th March 2017 I had a very strange drive home tonight. I’d taken the video camera with me to training to get some footage of me fighting. My gorilla pod turned up today and I put the video camera on the end. But I’m very self-conscious about filming in public and on the drive [...]
Monday 6th March 2017 After my spate of productivity yesterday I didn’t feel I got much done today. I did clear off a number of work-related tasks so I suppose there was that but I’m very much aware of how many things I want to be doing (finishing this novel, writing a couple of short [...]

The location isn't open to the public and there are very few photos of what was intended to be seat of [...]
With Black As Knight out the way, I spent some time last night scheduling the remaining work needed to get the final draft of The Thieving King done. It's a huge, complex book and I really started to appreciate all the planning I put into this draft which should make it easier now I'm in [...]
Just a quick note to say that there's an article on myself and The Four Realms inside this week's Bracknell News, including a suitably dodgy picture of said author. If you live in the area, be sure to pick up a copy!
It’s been a couple of months since the last mailbag so I thought I’d run another bunch of reader questions about The Four Realms. Please note that these DO contain spoilers for the book so if you are still reading you might want to bookmark this blog post until after you’ve completed it. If you’ve [...]
I'm not very good at drawing so I'm always a little bit in awe of those who can. I love a really cool piece of art, and love it even more when it's based off of one of my stories. Mark Phillips sent in this piece of art he drew of Joseph from the Four [...]
