A few weeks ago, the brilliant Holly Harkness emailed me from Melbourne, Australia, to ask if I would object to her recreating a scene from THE CROWMASTER in puppet form. Who in their right mind would possibly refuse such an offer? I said YES PLEASE, and a couple of days ago, Holly emailed me the [...]

Late last year, I was asked to write a short story for the Edinburgh International Book Festival’s website, based on the theme of “Elsewhere”. The story could be about anything, as long as it incorporated the theme of new, different places in some form or another. My interpretation of the theme was a story called [...]

Just a quick post tonight, as the whole household – me included – is down with the flu. For those of you who don’t already have my first two INVISIBLE FIENDS books (shame on you!) you might like to know that Amazon currently have both on sale at the unbelievably low price of just £1.99 [...]

Well, another year is almost over and the Christmas festivities are racing up fast. On this day last year I launched InvisibleFiends.com, and wrote this poem for TrappedByMonsters. This year, I haven’t been nearly as creative, although I did write a few thousand words of a book, so that was something. It’s been quite a [...]
