The final book in me old mucker, Tommy Donbavand’s SCREAM STREET series has recently been published, and to mark the occasion Tommy has written an exclusive thirteen part story which is running over a whole load of blogs. When Tommy asked if I’d be happy to host a chapter of the story here I jumped [...]

This year the Bath Festival of Children’s Literature decided it would be a right laugh to start a blog story, co-written by a whole heap of children’s authors, illustrators, and other creative types. I was lucky enough to be asked to take part, and today is the day my little ‘chapter’ goes live. You might [...]

I’m in the middle of getting ready for my trip to the Edinburgh Book Festival, but just nipped on to post this picture. It’s pretty self-explanatory, really.

A few new reviews for the Invisible Fiends series have popped up online recently, so I thought I’d link to them here, because they’re all lovely and positive. Well, I’m hardly going to link to bad ones am I? Not that there are any bad ones, of course. Perish the very thought. So, first up [...]

As if I didn’t have enough to do, I’ve launched a new website. It’s an ongoing horror story, told through the diary entries of a family man facing the zombie apocalypse. Click the image below to go check the site out – remember to start from the bottom and read upwards if you want to [...]

I’ve done a guest blog post for the Edinburgh International Book Festival, all about the short story I wrote for them as part of the Elsewhere project. Go, check it out. Clicky clicky.
