Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
In case you didn't know, when I don’t write stories, I write music. I'm a guitarist, vocalist, and lyricist and I play in a band called Maryon.Maryon is an acoustic three-piece that plays melancholic, folk-pop. I write all the music and lyrics, I'm the main vocalist as well as the rhythm guitarist, and today we're... Continue Reading →
Well, well, well, if it isn't my sworn enemy - summer! I had to go back through my archives and check because I couldn't actually remember when the last time I wrote a blog post was - and it turns out it's almost a month ago! Isn't it weird how having time off to relax... Continue Reading →

I'm spending 2024 doing some tidying up. Essentially, I'm going through all my old projects, my forgotten manuscripts, things I wrote ages ago and put away in a cloud folder somewhere, and I'm doing some spring cleaning.

Pat yourself on the back and tell yourself well done, because honestly, you've... Continue Reading →

Before we talk pros and cons here's a thing you should know: YMMV. Your Mileage May Vary. Whatever I've done--or whatever... Continue Reading →
Somehow January lasted for eight years, but also passed by in a split second. Weird how that happens, right? Last post I did I wrote about I finally felt like I was back in my groove, making a plan for 2024 and figuring out what I'm going to focus on, but now here I am... Continue Reading →
I'm excited. I'm finally excited. Writing has taken a back seat for a while. Since early last fall, I kind of stuck myself in a rut. I wrote some short stories that I submitted (and waited patiently to hear back about), and I read through and polished some things that I'd written before, but I... Continue Reading →
