It's May. Goodness me. How did that happen? And I haven't posted here since New Year. Is that because I've been a lazy swine, drinking tea and eating biscuits? Well, a bit... but mostly it's because I've been nusy with projects that haven't yet been announced but which I can hopefully talk about soon. It's been a very very start to the year and hugely enjoyable.

This charity novel, The Six Doctors, is another entry in the charity Cushingverse, raising funds for the homeless. I may have had something to do with it, but I will only confirm that I did the 80s style cover design. It's available here.
The Doctors are being kidnapped from all through time and space and transported to the dreaded planet, Maladoom, where the Cybermen wait... along with the Daleks, Ice Warriors and countless other foes from the Doctor's past.
Can the Doctor save the universe... and who can save the Doctor?

Later this year, I'll have these books coming out. I've been spending a lot of time with my nose in an old Guinness Book of Hit Singles lately, while blasting old music on the headphones. Got to love it.

I said this was going to be a busy year, didn't I? Well today, the titles of the new range of Tomorrow People books were announced. Among them is my book (which will be the second in the range - the picture here is of the first) and mine is called (drum-roll please...) Children of the Evolution.
Really looking forward to more details of these books coming out.

This is going to be a busy year. I have a lot of books coming out this year and I am looking forward to spilling the beans on them soon.
However, the first book I have published this year has just been announced. It's The Raccoons - The One That Got Away. It's based on the animated TV series from the 90s. It's a lovely show. It has plenty of humour, lots of heart and it has a solid ecological message, which feel particularly appropriate now.
This story is about pollution in rivers which is definitely a subject that needs discussion. Ireally enjoyed writing this. I got to go for lots of gags in this one, so there's silliness and fun alogside the plot.
There will be three books published in March 2024 by Candy Jar Books. John Peel amd Chris McGuire are the authors of the other two, whose coat tails I'm riding on.
The official announcement is here.
August 30th, 2023First bit of news on this shiny new site is that I have a short story in the next Iris Wildthyme anthology from Obverse Books, Locked in Space.
My story is The Crazy Old Coot in the Cupboard and features some familiar faces - and voices. I shall say no more than that. From the Obverse website: It’s been a while, hasn’t it? But finally, Iris is back! Edited by Stewart Sheargold, Locked in Space, finds Iris stuck in the Bus, as a pestilence which only affects time travellers rages in the Universe outside (why, yes, we are always right on the ball when it comes to reflecting what’s happening in contemporary society!).Of course, the Bus is famously smaller on the inside than it looks on the outside, but that’s never stopped a writer with imagination, has it? PUBLISHED OCTOBER 2023 IN LIMITED EDITION HARDBACK! Details can be found here: https://obversebooks.co.uk/product/11-locked-in-space/
