Frozen Charlotte
I bought something creepy to help me write a ghost story - a Victorian Frozen Charlotte. Just opened it now in front of our warrior cat lol. Best watch with sound up high. Not a bad start to my new project...
My office this morning
The second draft of Gobble is coming along very nicely. As it should given the quality of my office this morning :)
The new cover design of Pixie-Led

The new cover art for Pixie-Led |
I have redesigned the cover design of my folk-horror Novella, Pixie-Led. This gives far more of an insight into the contents of the book than the old design offered - a bewitched cat able to travel through mirrors at the bidding of his mistress:

Passenger Seat 36
I think this image is a likely contender to be the first image in the series of Passenger Seat photographs that will be published next year. I love the colours and indistinct feel of location the windows allow into the car. It is almost heralding the magickal journey to follow...
More Fluttering Polythene
I've got a soft spot for this kind of thing:
The barbed wire appears like an air purifier, removing the plastic from the air...
Decadence
September is fully booked. Right to the end of the month. On the writing side, I have a month to sort out a completed second draft of Gobble. Towards the end of the month I am heading up to the Norfolk Broads where I hope to spend time with my daughter, who I haven't seen in nearly 2 years because of the current health climate. Whilst there, I hope to find some decent atmosphere to help inspire an actual ghost story from scratch, something I have long sort to do but is yet to materialise. Finally, I am going to create a wildlife pond for my magickal garden. You can find details of this latter project over on magickalgardening.co.uk. In the meantime, let's get the month off to a good start with a bit of sheer decadence - having a nice a mug of tea in the bath:.
