Plans

With the release of my Gower Beaches book and the conclusion of my union rep training, it looks like a have a whole week of free evenings ahead. So, how am I going to spend them? 

Well, I did a bit of planning for November's Nanowrimo last night. Whatever you think of the event, I have found it useful in the past to get a creative project that has got trapped in my head finally down on paper and out into the world at large. With its 30 day target, it's a tough event to complete, but even if I don't fully get what I want to take out of the event, I will at least have pushed the project forward, which is always a good enough result.


Anyway, just to get things clear as much in my own head as to keep anyone interested in my work updated, these are my projected plans going forward as from today, October 26th 2024:

November '24 - Get the first draft of Familiar - "Something Wicked" done and dusted.

February '25 -  Publish my next horror novel.

With the publication of Familar - "Something Wicked", I will get to work on the new Guy N Smith zine. Although I will be acting more as an editor than a creator on this book, I will be adding a couple of personal bits to its contents. Although not set in stone, these will probably take the form of a few more Lego GNS book covers and a Knighton fancon illustrated writeup...

April '25 - Publish the new GNS zine.

May '25 - Commence Work on my second book on Glastonbury. I may, or may not, undertake this as a 100-day project.

August '25 - Publish Avalon 2

Thereafter - Continue work on my long put-off story, Pyewacket.

Gower Beaches, Coves and Bays.

Well, I managed to get this through publication fairly easy. So here it is - Gower Beaches, Coves and Bays. Nearly two score pages exploring every beach on the Gower Peninsula.


And if you want your own copy, (and why wouldn't you?), then you can buy it here.

Insidious Halloween Pop

Funko released a late entry to their horror range last week with the release of the Red-Faced Demom from Insidious. He it is, photographed against... see for yourself below:


Wendigo Pop Funko Photoshoot

Pop Funko Halloween - The Wendigo from the TV series Hannibal. This was to be my last Pop post for Halloween 2024, but Funko released a late new figure figure just last week, so watch this space...



Pre Halloween Reading

I've been so busy of late, with two important new jobs to learn, training courses  to complete and getting my latest Explore Gower book written and published. Hopefully the next two weeks will be a little quieter so I can crack on with some much needed reading...


Salem's Lot

I watched the new Salem's Lot film tonightI really enjoyed, the only two faults being it needed a good quarter of an hour to fully develop the story and the vampire was a bit too Marilyn Manson for my tastes. Althought it was never going to beat the 1970s TV miniseries version starring David Soul, it was far better than the 90's remake.
