Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
Due to waiting for feedback on a novel, doing revisions and editing on others, and in general trying to hold off on starting too many big new projects (because I need to also publish them at some point), I've written a lot of short stories this year. In fact, in the last 3 months I've... Continue Reading →
Hunter Astely - witch hunter extraordinaire - is the best at what he does: hunting witches and keeping humanity safe. It's not by choice however, it's his heritage. When he saves a young girl from a pack of witches in Italy, his life is turned upside down when she demands to be brought into the... Continue Reading →
I probably haven't read as many How To books on writing as I should, but I've read a few and I came across this one as a recommendation for further reading from another one. They talked very highly of it and of Dwight Swain, so I figured "Why the hell not?" First thing's first: This... Continue Reading →
They've done it again! Shepherd's Watch is the second book in the Shepherd and Wolfe series, the first of which I've reviewed here, and it follows unlikely friends Anthony Shepherd and Charlie Wolfe who somehow always seemed to end up in the middle of trouble (but that's probably because Charlie keeps dragging Anthony into it)....

The notion of 'getting hooked' on a book is alien to me. Sure, there are books that I love and that I'll happily read over and over again, but I've never experience that immediate "OMG, THIS BOOK!!"-feeling that some people seem to have. People talk about great opening lines and great first pages, and I... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago I tweeted about my wife going back home. You see, we live apart (we have for a while) and because of Covid-19 we got to spend a lot of time together because she basically became stranded where I live. Those tweets always gets loads of response, which is really sweet. I... Continue Reading →
Let me preface this by saying I always read a prologue, if it's there. I've realized that some people dislike them so much they'll just skip them altogether, and that's not where I'm at. If I'm reading a book, I read all parts of the book. Also, I don't mind them. There's nothing inherently bad... Continue Reading →
This book follows on from Frank Ford's adventures, after he's been appointed by an alien race to be the custodian of Earth. (You can find my review of book 1 here if you want to get caught up.) In the second book, our focus is taken away from Earth and onto other exciting planets. The... Continue Reading →
The Gatewatch is a fantasy novel with roots in Norse mythology and it releases today! I was lucky enough to chat with author Joshua Gillingham about his exciting debut. Hi Joshua. Tell me about your book. I can guess what it's about from the cover, but what's the story? Hello Trey! Thank you... Continue Reading →
Finally! It's been more than two years since I read the first book in this excellent series - the review of which you can find here - and I'm so happy to finally have this in my hand. I remember when I read the first one, thinking it was one of the best indie book... Continue Reading →
