Snippet time!

I know, content has been a little thin on the ground. While The Hunter's Boy waits (impatiently) for a redrafting, I have been writing away at a little something else: A Glamour of Gold is my latest YA Fantasy project.

Secret Society for Supernatural Ass-Kicking, Folkestone Division, or, F-SSSACK, for short (working title)

Politics, dragons, magic and LGBTQ+ representation abound. I am so excited to finish this one! Anyway, here is a naff picture of some mood-lighting … Continue reading Mood-lighting

So naturally we had to explore and take a lot of pictures. This little walk proved quite inspiring, perhaps some of the features … Continue reading Finding the ‘Zig-zag Path’; or, the Man-made Grottoes of Folkestone
