Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
Okay, I'll be honest: the title as an attempt at saying something particularly profound, but at the same it means exactly what it says. Do you ever just sit? Just sit perfectly still, staring into nothingness, letting your thoughts wander? Watching as the world goes by without you as you deliberately sit there and do... Continue Reading →
You know what's worse than writer's block? Writer's indecisiveness. I've just come down from an editing high - a couple of weeks of meticulously going through a thriller I'm working on, up and down, back and forth. It's finally at a place where I can leave it in the hands of someone else. Now, while... Continue Reading →
Ever read a book and felt a wave of sadness wash over you as you realize it's over and you can never relive that adventure in quite the same way again? Apparently that happens when you write books too. I just finished a novel I started in November. It was supposed to be last years... Continue Reading →
