I strive hard to make my garden a place of peace and harmony :)

Berserk! Progressing Chapter Three

I struggled a little with how to close Chapter Three of Beserk! But the chapter has come together nicely for me as I actually put pen to paper to write the thing. Here is my story-board pic of the conclusion of the chapter, if you can interpret my child-like sketch. #IWishICouldDraw

"No, I will not let you write today."

Typing...

Spending the evening typing up my handwritten first draft of Chapter Two of Beserk!

Writing Chapter Three and not sure of how to end it, or what happens in Chapter Four onwards...... This hasn't happened in a long while...

Signed Michelle Paver Books

I finally received my signed copy of Michelle Paver's Wakenhyrst novel this week. It looks a beast of a novel compared to her earlier ghost stories Dark Matter and Thin Air, which I also have signed copies of :) Her earlier books were excellent reads, their spooky atmosphere knitted meticulously and realistically into the stories. I am a big fan. I have a bit of a backlog of books to read at the moment, so this mighty tome will have to live quietly on my bookshelf with its sisters for the time being. It seems the perfect read to while away the winter months so I may crack its spine this coming Halloween. Seems fitting...

Rain on Shed Door

I just nipped outside to put a few of my delicate plants in the shed before this evening's storm hits and I saw this:

Beautiful :)

Verry-Volk

I have got myself a little Summer project, producing a short book detailing the local faery folklore in my area. Hoping to see it in print sometime early in the autumn...

Edn™ ~ a trippy tale of alien horticulture

April 21, 2019

I have been meaning to make a short video promo for my novel Edn™ for a while now. I got the opportunity to shoot it this afternoon whilst down my local park. You can view the promo vids for my other novellas here: Crawley Promo / Lore Promo. I just have to knock one up for Pixie-Led now...

A dreamy walk through the bluebell woods

I played around with a sub-£10 dreamy lens on my phone down my local park this afternoon. I have to say, I am quite pleased with the results :)

Berserk! Continuing work on Chapter One

An evening in the garden

The first nice evening of the year 2019 fell on Good Friday. This was the first chance for neighbours to spend an evening out in their gardens playing and having bbqs. The evening sunshine was soft and warm, the air thick with the scent bbq smoke. This audio recording was made from my own back garden and picks up the ambience of neighbours just enjoying being out in the gardens. Good Friday 2019 was a good one :)

Berserk! Continuing Chapter One.

Pushing onward with Chapter One, detailing the characters and their mission:

Pixie-Led ~ a devilish tale of smoke and mirrors

Well here it is - Pixie-Led ~ a devilish tale of smoke and mirrors. After all the hard work I have put into this over the past 10 month, it is a wonderful feeling seeing the finalised physical book in all its glory :)
