We are the Wordies

Been having a bit of a stressful, hectic time of late, and just realised I’ve forgotten to A) finish my Five Frightening Fings series, and B) mention Wordies. I’ll do B now, and sort A out later on tonight. Wordies is a brand new podcast done by me (Hello!) and my good friend and fellow [...]

Vote Crowmaster! Again!

Thanks to your votes last time around, The Crowmaster won its heat in the Book Cover Wars at Mr Ripley’s Enchanted Books. But now the sack-headed old psychopath needs your help again in the final, where he is up against some stiff competition indeed, including fellow HarperCollins horror author, Darren Shan. Ironically, a quote from [...]

Guest appearance on the Screamcast!

On Thursday night, me old mucker, Tommy Donbavand, asked me to be the first ever guest on his podcast.

Should we start doing this sort [...]

New Facebook fan page

Just a very quick update tonight. Got some exciting news to share, but not allowed to reveal it yet. I’ll hopefully be able to spill the beans soon. In the meantime, I’ve got a brand new Facebook fan page, which I’ll be using more regularly than my normal Facebook account. So, if you want to [...]

Back on the Blogging Trail

I know it’s been 11 days since my last blog post, and I know, quite frankly, that that just isn’t good enough, but it’s been a crazy month full of busy stuff and madness, so I’m hoping you might be able to chuck me a few handfuls of pity and forgiveness if I promise to [...]

InvisibleFiends.com – new and improved

As if I didn’t have enough to do, I took it upon myself to completely redo the Invisible Fiends website over the last few nights. The old version was a nightmare to update, and didn’t look great, so I’ve gone for something that can be updated easily, looks decent, and even displays the posts from [...]
