One Night Buried - draft 1 completed

Sunday, November 20, 2022

Well, this is quickest first draft of a novel I have ever knocked up. And, given the speed of its construction, I am quite pleased with the tale. The storyline has more twists in its plot than any of my other books, many of which surprised even me! I am already looking forward to the hard graft of crafting, polishing and word-smithing draft 2 of One Night Buried.

One Night Buried

Saturday, November 19, 2022

Well, the good news is that this has been the easiest first draft of a story I have ever written. I am now happy to report that I am just a couple of chapters shy of completing the first draft of this book. My target for the completion of this draft was by the close of November so all good there. Eagle-eyed visitors to the Pixie-led blog may have already spotted that I have now finally decided a title for the book, which can be found in the title of this blog post. 🙂 For this story, the emphasis is firmly on Goths, secret occult sects and vampires!

Sulphur-Tufts

Two more photographs from my recent walk through Gelli-Hir Woods, Three Crosses, Gower. When the weather is pretty dire, mushrooms always makes a woodland photogenic. In this particular instance, it's Sulphur-Tuft that add a definite magical vibe to the woodland:

Spots

I stumbled upon this interesting character whilst visiting some local woods recently. Lovely isn't s/he!



Whilst you can see all the photographs I took on the walk on my Explore Gower blog, I'll probably post more of my favourite images from Gelli-Hir Woods here over the next few days too. I hope you like them :)

Bram Stoker Pop Funko

October 30, 2022

The man himself - mighty Bram Stoker. Pardon the pun(let), but I was really stoked to see the funko factory had brought out this particular character :)

Not one of Funko's greatest likenesses, but I couldn't say no to adding Vincent Price to my collection of horror Pops:

Todays Funko foto features not one, but four Pops! I present a dead Laura, her possessed father Leland and the demonic Bob! Dale Cooper is there too, looking well too happy with his coffee given the gruesome circumstances, but hey ho. Happy Halloween 🎃
