I used to like watching the odd post apocalyptic series or movie, but now it seems they are everywhere. The walking dead the most visible i assume but others are all over. Last night I heard of a series called the last ship that follows survivors of the end of the human race that are…
I have done it again, nearly a month without posting and although part of that was due to my internet suddenly deciding that despite working for the last few years it would block me from accessing my hosted webspace where this blog is located. So I couldn’t access any of the sites. they were still…
As a writer one piece of advice we are always being given is to read more in the genre we want to write in, for me that is either Sci-fi or Fantasy. As one of my loves is reading this is something I do, even though I have my kindle, I still spend money in bookshops….
