August has been interesting. I completed a big project last month - which I still can't talk about, sadly - and this month has mostly been about recuperation and reorientation. I've read a number of good books the past few weeks. I finally finished Tom Holland's Millennium, an entertaining look at what's popularly (and erroneously) … Continue reading August 2020 Update

July was fairly sedate, as far as work goes. I completed a novel-length project - which I still can't talk about, unfortunately - as well as another short story, titled "Cheyne Walk, 1985". It's a Royal Occultist story...of sorts, though perhaps a bit darker than the usual entries in the series. I also did some … Continue reading July 2020 Update

June has been the busiest month of the year so far. Besides completing a few more short stories, I've started work on a new novel-length project - one which I can't say anything about at the moment, sadly. Black Library released the conclusion to my Fabius Bile trilogy, Manflayer. It's available in the usual places, … Continue reading June 2020 Update

May has been a month for maintenance, as well as writing. Besides completing the first drafts for a handful of short stories, I've begun a long-delayed clean-up effort, pruning all but the most essential information from the site in a bid to refocus it to something more professional. I'll gradually sift through the ephemera of … Continue reading May 2020 Update

 April has been a busy month, for reasons mostly unrelated to writing. Even so, I managed to find time to complete revisions on my forthcoming Legend of the Five Rings novel, Poison River, as well as the second Casefiles of the Royal Occultist collection, Hochmuller's Hound. I also started a handful of new stories, nudged some older … Continue reading April 2020 Update

With Poison River completed, I've turned my attentions to other projects this month. Most notably author's notes and a new short story to fill out the forthcoming second volume of Royal Occultist stories, Hochmuller's Hound. I've also been working on a pitch for a new novel, and working on getting my Patreon site reorganised. I'd like to start … Continue reading March 2020 Update

 As with January, I spent most of this month working on the first draft of Poison River. I'm experimenting with a slower schedule this year – one big deadline at a time, and working on smaller projects in the evenings and on the weekends, if time and inclination permits. These include short stories and lore write-ups for … Continue reading February 2020 Update

Most of my time this month has been occupied with the first draft of Poison River, a Legend of the Five Rings novel. In preparation for the project, I spent most of December getting to grips with the background for the setting. A new IP always provides its own challenges, and Lot5R was no different. I've also … Continue reading January 2020 Update
