So I have written my paragraph about why I want to write and I have filled out the questionnaire and all that is left is for me to do my observation piece. Normally this would not be a problem, only I am going to do it on a biker meet that I goto on a…
In a not so surprising move the US Government has sent a latter to Defence Distributed suggesting that publishing the plans was in violation of arms control regulations. I’m not sure what they think the point is, as up to now they have been downloaded over 100,000 times, and even though the company have took…
I may not be doing the NaNo now but I have come to one of the last meet ups. It feels strange to have a few people sat round a table and no one talking, I almost feel like I should be making conversation. But the idea of these meet ups is to write, with…
It’s getting closer to the end of the month and after our family holiday in September, I will be going to the British Fantasy Society’s Fantasy Con event. Lots of panels, stalls, and more importantly books. It’s a bit daunting as I am off down on my own but from the looks of it, I…

Been a while since I posted an update and since then I have been to Fantasycon. It was a brilliant weekend full of all manner of writerly people, panels, and lots and lots of books. Which is something I love. I overspent on books but then I saved the money for Fantasycon so it was…
Growing up I loved to read, as I still do. One of my favourite series from that time is the Dyason Series written by Warren Palmer. It consists of three books : Minds of the Empire Dominator Third Player The books follow Moss Pendragon as he escapes the ruins of London after an alien…
