Before museums and public libraries, the wealthy and idle rich collected books and curios as a sign of status. While some would dedicate entire rooms, if not wings to their collections, others would make do with small cabinets that would be opened with the port after dinner and shown to their guests.

The first book of the Colonel
It’s been a long time in the making, but finally, I can reveal the next book in the Infinity Engines: Origins series – Changeling.

Chimaera is coming!
Back in November, I took part in NaNoWrimo, a writing challenge that pushes you to crack out a 50K word novel in one month. It was hard going and there were times when I was completely winging it. I know most of you would have wanted me to be cracking on with book 3, but […]

Maelstrom – second book update
Just a quick update on progress on the second book – Maelstrom. The third draft is done and it’s shaping up rather nicely, over 85,000 words and counting!
